<p>i took 8 last summer and it was pretty taxing for me: physics and an english comp.</p>
<p>Lol no one’s hating on the OP at the moment. Anyways, you guys should state what sessions the classes were in, otherwise it doesn’t really mean much.</p>
<p>I’m taking 2 courses in Session A (late May- early July), and 2 courses in a later session (early July - mid-August), for a grand total of 14 units this summer >_></p>
<p>I took 9 units as a transfer during Summer 2010 before I came here, and got straight A’s. Depends on the courses. Like of course for math and sciences classes will be extra taxing during the summer.</p>
<p>I’m taking 8 units from 5th July to 12th August and possibly 10 from 23rd May to 1st July in summer 2011. I took 20 units in Fall 2010 (my first semester at Cal) all for letter grades and I’m taking 23 units this semester, out of which 19 are for a letter grade. I wouldn’t say I aced my Fall semester but I survived and was heavily involved in a co-curricular activity without much problems. So yes, I think it’s possible. It’s definitely, definitely taxing and hard, but possible.</p>
<p>As for those who think we’re bragging - try paying $17,000 worth of fees each semester and tell me you don’t want to try and graduate early for the sake of your poor parents. If I had more money, I would be enjoying my life at Cal and taking it slow, thank you very much.</p>
<p>Since I’m also exceeding the number of recommended units for summer, I’m very interested in the OP(oster)'s question in the OP(ost) on how I can sign up for that. I’ve emailed the TeleBears team but they asked me to go see a college advisor, and from what I’ve heard, college advisors don’t usually deal with such requests and they don’t know either. I really need help so I can sign up for these courses asap, and I’m sure meakame does too. Thanks so much.</p>
