<p>I'm taking 10! Senior courses here are very design-intensive, and I'm leading a freshman orientation class, working a lot, president of a club, in a few other clubs, etc. I don't expect to have too much more free time than during my usual 15-17 credits.</p>
<p>I'd have to pay more tuition to go over 18, so it would've only been worth it if I had wanted to try and graduate two years early instead of just one. Right now I think I'm at 17 credits, 12 of which are graduate level courses.</p>
<p>Same school as dilksy so rather than pay extra I stuck with 18 credits. Not the most credits ever, but with first semester Greek, Intensive first year Latin, and second semester German as 3 of my 5 courses I couldn't imagine taking any more anyway.</p>
<p>I'm taking 20. I'm doing a BA/MD program though.</p>
<p>Functional Anatomy (3)
Functional Anatomy Lab (1)
Poli Sci (3)
English (3)
Intro to Film (3)
Fundamental Med Practice I (5)
Med Terminology (1)
Learning Basic Med Science (1)</p>
<p>I'll be taking 17 credits:
Perspectives on Western Culture (6)
Microeconomics (3)
Calculus I (4)
First Year Writing Seminar (3)
Intro to Ethics (1)</p>
<p>I took 22 semester units last spring. That was 7 courses. On top of that I was working 30 hour weeks at a hardware store. And I finished the semester with a 3.4 gpa. Not bad considering the circumstances.</p>
<p>This entire thread is kind of pointless. Obviously it's not just about how many credits you are taking. What kind of classes are these? Is it systems engineering or intro to psych? Big difference. Where are the classes being taken? At MIT or Michigan State? Big difference.</p>
<p>Last semester I took 21 and got a 4.0. They were:
Dynamics
Mech-Etronics
Fluid Mechanics
Heat and Mass Transfer
Intro to Probability and Statistics
General Physics 3
Modern Physics</p>
<p>This semester I'm taking 18 and they are:
Mech-Etronics 2
Strengths of Materials
Modeling and Simulation of Dynamic Systems
Intermediate Dynamics
Quantum Mechanics
Nuclear Physics or Aerodynamics (depending if enough people sign up for nuclear)</p>
