Does taking 12 quarter units look bad??

regardless of the grades? Someone says yes, and someone says no. I am confused with that

What is a minimum load to be considered a full-time student in your system?

Are you working? 12 units are OK if you have other stuff going on. Work, taking care of sick family member, raising a kid, etc. Basically it’s ok in general, but the STEMS sometimes equate # units with passion for subject - unless your time is otherwise filled. Then it is ok.

And yes, taking 12 units may cause the UC to expect a higher GPA.

12 units are minimum, and I am CS major
