Is my courseload too heavy?

<p>I’m a 2nd year BioSci major and I’m signed up for CHE118A, BIS2A, PHY7A, and LIN1. That’s 17 units and 22 hours of class.
I’ll also be working 9-12 hours/week and dancing 4-6 hours/week, and I’m planning to sign up for a 4 hour/week HBS UCDMC internship in Sacramento.</p>

<p>Last quarter I had 13 units and 15 hours of class (CHE2C, BIS2A, MAT17C), worked 13-19 hours/week, and had a 4 hour/week HBS internship in Woodland, and I felt pretty booked.</p>

<p>you know best, and that seems like quite a bit more work than last quarter.</p>

<p>I know this won’t answer your question, but are you taking BIS2A with Gerhart?</p>

<p>I know this won’t answer your question, but are you taking BIS2A with Gerhart?</p>

<p>You’ve added nearly a full day (8 hours) to your schedule before even considering out-of-class work, which should account for at least that much work again. If you felt fully committed last quarter, I’m not sure why you’d add two standard working days (or perhaps 1.5 extra-long ones) to your week.</p>

<p>If you do take on this schedule, it will be important to know what commitment you’re going to drop first when you start to crash. Obviously your classes and your internship are high importance, otherwise you wouldn’t consider this schedule to begin with. That leaves dancing and your part-time job. Will you be able to afford to quit the job if you start to crash? If not, the only thing left is dance. My guess is that’s an activity that will help you stay sane with such a demanding schedule.</p>

<p>If you have nothing you can easily get out of in the middle of the quarter or around finals time, you’re setting yourself up in a situation where, if you crash, you’re going to crash hard. That’s risky.</p>

<p>yah that seems like alot of work kiddo! Good luck to you tho!</p>

<p>That’s A LOT of work. You’re not gonna have much free time, and wouldn’t really be able to enjoy college life.</p>

<p>Do whatever you can do that feels comfortable to you. I recommend to not be in a rush to graduate early, if that’s what you want to do.</p>

<p>Are you re-taking BIS 2A? I would advise against your planned schedule if you didn’t do very well last year.</p>
