<p>I graduated Baylor University recently and have decided to go to grad school. I was admitted to Tarleton. My advisor said this in an e-mail "If you are working and going to school, I recommend no more than 6 hours, especially your first semester. " Although 9 hours is considered full-time.. so I've never considered going less than 9. </p>
<p>I am working about 30 hours a week currently. It's just hard for me to imagine 9 hours will have me at my limit. Tarleton seems like a lesser school to me than what I'm used to. Also one of my classes (Employment Law) is apparently doubling as a 4-level undergraduate class, with the only difference being graduate students have to write a paper... which just makes me think more that I can handle it if one class (at least) is going to be basically an undergraduate class. </p>
<p>I'm used to taking 18 hours a semester as an undergraduate, just to give some history. Do you think 12 would be too much for my first semester at Tarleton as a MBA graduate student? </p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
