Hows this fall schedule for a freshman

<p>MWF Calc I 10:30-11:20
MWF Chem I 1:30-2:30
MW Rhetoric 4-5:15
Tu/Th Oral communication 9-9:50
Tu Calc Problem session 11:30-1:20
Tu/Th Gov 4-5:15
Th Chem I Lab 11:30-2:30</p>

<p>not bad? im a neuroscience major, but it seems like i cant take any neuro courses until soph year the earliest. premed too</p>

<p>looks good...let me guess... 16 credits?</p>

<p>alipes, I think it is 17 credits, but I'm not too sure. I think that is a good amount to start at.</p>

<p>OP: It looks fine to me. Have you thought about maybe taking biology this fall since it seems like a lot of things require it as a pre-req? Also, where are more of your general eds? You'd hate to have to take those your last year.</p>

<p>its 15 credits cuz i dont get credits for chem recitation and calc problem session.
i kinda have a rough idea of what classes im taking the next two years, and i will have all but 1 gen ed requirements covered. (there arnt a lot of my school lol) Im taking bio next year too.</p>

<p>It's not bad, good choices with the time slots (not too early and looks like you have enough gaps everyday to do something and cram in a meal).</p>

<p>15 credit for premed= not good. unless you want to do summer school.</p>

<p>i took anywhere from 18 to 23 credit hours. Add a bio class or gen ed. and recitation classes are supposed to be part of your main course, not separate.</p>

<p>remember, premed reqs are generally (different by medschools): 1 year of bio, english, physics, organic chem, nonorganic chem</p>

<p>Don't listen to lethargytm. He's probably an elitist pre-med and full of crap. Your schedule is fine.</p>

<p>haha.. the schedule is fine. You'll start getting a tougher schedule as you go on. Its perfect for a freshman.</p>

<p>to a point you have to take what lethargy says into consideration though.. a big thing of being accepted to med school is the difficulty of your schedule.. now obviously if you have one weak semester(not even saying this one) it really isn't going to kill you</p>

<p>Cel, I'm hurt. But I'm just trying to look out for him. Or her, can't tell. You dont want to have loads of classes when you take the hard ones, classes only get harder as you get older. Getting rid of the easier ones is the way to go. And If the person says 3 credit hours worth of class is going to be a joke, taking another class that will help one out would be the best way to go.</p>

<p>i guess i might add in another class. i just didnt want to get overwhelmed during my first semester of college</p>

<p>To lethargytm - 18-23 credits - how is that even possible? The college I'm going to only allows 16.5 credits max. </p>

<p>I'm pre-med and my schedule looks about the same.</p>

<p>The schedule's fine. And very nice timings, like one of the above posters said. My freshman year, I had 8 AMs five days a week!</p>

<p>lethargy, 18-23 cr on a regular basis seems awfully excessive. Are you an engineering major?</p>

<p>My friend who did 18-23 credits on a regular basis graduated in 3 years with 3 majors and a masters. There's no way in hell you need to do that much for pre-med (which is at worst like a double major, if for some god-awful reason you choose to major in something that has no overlap with pre-med requirements whatsoever).</p>

<p>man i'm going to have 5 days of 8 AM</p>

<p>Welcome to college, bjt223. This will be my 2nd semester of 5 8am classes, but I don't mind them. I've actually had better attendance in my early morning classes than my afternoon classes because there's less other stuff going on that I'd have to miss, and I'm usually up by 7:30 anyway. For me atleast, 8 AM courses aren't bad after the first 2 or 3 weeks, once you've settled into a routine.</p>

<p>7:30 classes everyday for the past couple of semesters.
I'm only a Management major with double minor in French and MIS along with Premed. I guess it's different for every school what the max is. My school's max is 19 unless you get special permission from the dean. My advisor was lazy and disregarded this. I guess it's also different for every school/major how many credits/classes you need to acquire such major. </p>

<p>Non of my Premed reqs, major, and minors overlap with one another. Probably another reason why. I dont know, I didn't think it was quite difficult. 7:30 to any where from 3:30 to 5:30 was for me. Except Tuesdays one semester where Bio lab was at 6:20 at night and ended at 8:00. Ridiculous.</p>

<p>dilksy 3 majors and a master in 3 years seem quite hard to do with only taking 18-23 credit hours. Let's say to get your undergrad+master is done through a 4+1 program. Unless your friend's majors overlapped classes with each other.</p>

<p>Math overlapped with physics and econ. There's an "interdisciplinary physics" major for people who want to combine physics with another field, or are doing physics as a second major and might have difficulties fitting in everything a regular physics major is required to do. You can also double-count 15 credits towards undergrad/masters if you do a special program. I think he only went over 18 credits one semester. It's not that bad if you know how to schedule things right.</p>

<p>yes but those fields didnt interest me, thus the non overlapping. except calculus and english literature. the only 2 that overlapped</p>

<p>Whats the usual amount of credit any freshman earns? and why would any college put a limit to the amount of credit??</p>

<p>I think you can almost always go over, if you get approval from an adviser. They just don't let you go past a certain point without permission, to keep overambitious and underqualified people from killing themselves. Also, some schools charge extra tuition for every credit hour you take past the maximum.</p>
