Is this course load and situation possible to get a 4.0 in?

<p>Chem-I 6units
Calc-2 5units
Physics-1 4units
Intro statistics 4 units
Linear Algebra 3units
Total: 22 units in 16 weeks </p>

<p>I just removed a Honors MacroEcon class and will earn honors credit through another class with some simple project I can set up with the professor.</p>

<p>I am currently attending a CCC. I know the Chem, Calc, and Statistics professors are very fair in grading (meaning they are easy professors). I had a 3 week break where I reviewed most if not all of Calc-2 (concepts are straightforward just need practice) so I almost consider it a 3 unit class. I definitely have the work ethic to sit down 65 hours a week and study the hell out of these classes (yes I did the math). But I must know, can I still get all A's in these classes? I have a 4.0 with 62+ units my freshmen year at the college. </p>

<p>Since they are all so math related I figured it would be alot of overlap and I genuinely take an interest in each class. Everyone I know discourages me but these are CC students whose parents make them go to college. I think I am just looking for words of encouragement and personal stories of people getting As in a semester just as mine. Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>I totally agree with your statement about CC students whose “parents make them go to college.” That is my exact thought as I see some of the people at my CC. Don’t listen to those people. I wish there were more focused people at CC, but anyway, it’s certainly possible. If you ever want encouragement, something I did when I had to cope with the whole “going to a community college” thing was googled this website for “community college success stories” and they should make you feel much more motivated. Good luck!</p>

<p>That, to me, looks like a completely insane load. Math and science classes usually have fairly large homework sets which require lots of time. I mean, if you’re very mathematically inclined and won’t be working at all it might be possible, but I’d suggest if do go this route to pay very close attention to how you’re handling the load in the first week or two and don’t be afraid to drop if you need to.</p>

<p>I agree with essited, you could always take a couple classes during the summer.</p>
