<p>I'm looking to take Bio, Ochem, and Phys in a year, has anyone done this?</p>
<p>Is it wise to do this? Will I have a social life? Could I do well?</p>
<p>I you are a strong science student i should be fine. i took Bio chem and ES last year and received all 5s. The overlap acutely help you more then they will hurt you.</p>

<p>If you are a strong science student you should be fine.
Sorry for the first sentence typed to fast.</p>

<p>Has anyone does this?
Of course. That’s a very typical schedule for a science major.</p>
<p>Is it wise to do this?
If you want to transfer ASAP, then yes. Doesn’t look like you have alternatives.</p>
<p>Will you have a social life?
LOL. No. One science class is a very dense workload. Two classes is overkill. Three is insanity. You’ll likely be studying day and night. Or if you manage to go out, it will be with your classmates for a study session break.</p>
<p>Will you do well?
If you study day and night, of course.</p>
<p>I have nothing useful to input. I just wanted to say theresistance’s response is hilarious (in a good way).</p>
<p>I took ochem, calc-based physics, and a core bio course along with vector calculus and a Spanish class during one semester. Did I have a social life? Yes. My schedule for the semester prior to that was the same, except swap vector calculus for differential calculus. It’s definitely doable, depending on the student you are and what you’re interested in. I love science and have a soft spot for math so I enjoyed taking all those courses.</p>
<p>you just have to study alot. I’ve had harder semesters and have done sports at the same time</p>
<p>aim high, and shoot for the best; if youre aiming to get all As, expect at least one B. so work your ass off and you can do it.</p>
<p>I’m not a science major, so I can’t comment on the rigor of most science classes (though the two I took were mostly easy), but I would recommend that you only take science classes if getting As are important for you. Based on my limited knowledge, this schedule looks doable, but I would not recommend taking a 4th social science/humanities class that requires 1 or 2 big papers. The reason I say this is because science classes are cumulative, and generally have homework assignments due every week and every month or so there is a test (or just the midterm + final). You are able to plan out your schedule evenly and if you put in a little bit of effort every day you should be able to stay on track and not get overwhelmed.</p>
<p>A lot of my humanities and social science classes have been different- there is usually one or two big papers due that are only assigned a few weeks in advance, so you don’t get the opportunity to work on them the entire time. Also, since the information doesn’t build on each other, studying for the final means studying stuff you’ve forgotten over the months. So if you try to take a class like this with your 3 science classes, you’ll most likely find yourself in a position where all of a sudden you have a major paper to write and you are forced to dedicate a lot of time to it, and you may fall behind in all of your other classes.</p>
<p>To satisfy these GE requirements, I would either wait till your last semester (or whenever you are finished) to take these classes, take them during the summer, or research as much as possible the classes available and try to find some that have a schedule similar to your science classes-lots of little homeworks, not just 30% midterm, 30% final, 40% paper. The one exception is the english classes- those generally have a lot of little writing assignments and/or 4-6 papers that are assigned with an appropriate amount of time to complete them.</p>
