Is taking 25 units impossible to accomplish?

<p>Maybe you COULD take 25 units (doubtful, no offense), but would you WANT to?</p>

<p>At my school, 18 units is the maximum without paying additional money, and people who do that never have any spare time. They are constantly stressed out and never have any time to decompress or relax - they’re in go-go-go mode all the time because they have to be. It doesn’t matter if you don’t party or even don’t have any other activities or jobs. You need that time for yourself to sleep and relax, ideally be with other people, and do things for yourself. Otherwise you will be ridiculously stressed and very unhappy, which will likely have an effect on your academic performance. I’ve had to tell people this who were taking just 18 credits and running themselves ragged (albeit in some very hard STEM majors), never mind your 25. That’s probably too much. Maybe you can take some classes in the summer or something if you really need the credits? Also, if you were just taking two last semester, it is probably too big of a jump unless you are Superman or something. It would be very easy to take all these classes, struggle but think you are okay for a while, and then have to drop a bunch of them and only wind up with a couple of credits again. I really think you should consider dropping several and not taking more than 18 or so, definitely not more than 20…that will be tough enough.</p>

<p>The ideal or theoretical yield of a chemical reaction would be 100%, a value that is impossible to achieve due to limitations in measurement accuracy. According to Vogel’s Textbook of Practical Organic Chemistry, yields around 100% are called quantitative</p>

<p>I love those people – they’re the ones running around screaming about how ‘hardcore’ they are because they took ‘killer course loads with the hardest professors’ and are ‘sooooo going to be eaten up by employers, because I got a C- with Prof XYZ and that would be an A++ in another class’. -sound of no one caring-</p>

<p>Iluvpiano, I’m surprised they just didn’t allow you to double major or do a BM with a history minor.</p>

24

<p>Yes I could double major but then I can only do the BA music major, not BM.</p>

<p>BM with history minor- not sure that works, since history is under the BA program in the College of Liberal Arts, not the School of Music.</p>

<p>Is there a significant difference between BA and BM?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Yeah no kidding. Most people who i knew that did that ended up working just ok jobs. (Fun fact: employers dont know nor care if you had the hardest prof. They care about grades). They basically worked harder for no real gain. I always recommend to never go over 15-16 credits really. (I liked taking around 13-14 personally.)</p>

27

<p>

</p>

<p>Exactly. No one cares if you took the hardest courses, either, or took a really hard double major.</p>

<p>Just look at this for my school…the BA requires else than half the number of music credits as the BM.</p>

<p>BA: [Illinois</a> Wesleyan: Bachelor of Arts in Music](<a href=“http://www.iwu.edu/music/academics/ba.shtml]Illinois”>http://www.iwu.edu/music/academics/ba.shtml) which lists the BA requirements in Music, plus Gen Ed requirements listed there too, which are also required for BM majors, but that link just doesn’t list them.</p>

<p>BM Piano Performance (and this link will also show the other BM programs- Music Education, Composition, Instrumental Performance on various instruments, and Vocal Performance): [Illinois</a> Wesleyan: Bachelor of Music](<a href=“http://www.iwu.edu/music/academics/bm.shtml]Illinois”>http://www.iwu.edu/music/academics/bm.shtml)</p>
