<p>I'm a CCC student and I'm planning on taking 3 classes this spring, and I'm debating on whether or not to take another class, but I'm not confident that I will be able to get an A in all of them if I do. Though I am very confident that I can get an A in every class if I just stick to the 3 classes only...but would that seem like too few classes, even though it would still be 12 units (considered full-time at my CC)? So would colleges favor a transcript with a higher gpa but fewer classes each semester, or a lower gpa with more classes per semester?</p>
<p>Are the three classes you’re taking ones like calc, o-chem, and advanced physics? If so, I’d probably only take those three.</p>
<p>If not…if they’re humanities classes, I’d personally take five classes to finish on time (or you can do summer/winter to make up for it). </p>
<p>I don’t think they look at individual semesters and say “hey, this person only took three classes in Spring 08”. But when a Berkeley admissions rep (Ana Rafferty) came to my school, she did say that people that work and go to school full time, while maintaining excellent grades, certainly get noticed.</p>
<p>im taking chem and physics haha… sux..</p>
<p>Not exactly, the 3 classes are: general physics, intro to programming with java, and beginning spanish.</p>
<p>just take 3 and get high GPA! that is my recommendation!</p>
<p>I would definitely go with the three classes and the high GPA.</p>
<p>Thanks for the advice!</p>
<p>NAIVE ! ! !
take 3 classes get a high GPA and state that you work 40 hours thats why you are taking 3 classes.
