<p>Would it be hard to manage an on campus work-study with these classes: ch 301, ugs 302, soc 308, m 408n, ugs 018, and bio 311c?</p>
<p>Why do you have 6 classes…</p>
<p>Ofc it would be hard to manage your time. What’s with the extra UGS course? And you’re taking Calc, Chemistry, and Biology. At the same time. </p>
<p>You must be coo coo for cocoa puffs or something.</p>
<p>the extra ugs is just a seminar program for longhorn scholars and I have to take biology because I’m a bio major and ther pre-req for bio is chem and the pre-req for chem is calculus.</p>
<p>Oh and I technically just have 5 classes that other ugs only meets one day a week for an hour.</p>
<p>Oh. But still it’s going to be hard to manage Bio, Chem, Calc, and a job at the same time.</p>
<p>Well thanks after considering it, I don’t think I’ll get a job. I was just worried that after accepting financial aid for a work study the they would be hesitant to give me a work study in the future if I don’t get a job.</p>
<p>Hopefully it’s not that hard to manage your time as I have a similar schedule to you and I’m also an Longhorn Scholar. However, I won’t have a job.</p>

Work Study is a form of financial aid with very limited resources (federal funding) so if you are awarded WS you’d better cherish it.
If you decide not to work you’d better contact financial aid office immediately (best by email) and tell them about it. OFSF can give your WS to somebody else. Then you might have a chance in the future to have WS again. If you just don’t apply for any positions because you don’t feel like it without informing OFSF you’ll never get WS again.</p>
<p>Please remember, you accepted certain responsibilities when you accepted Work Study. So try to be responsible. ;)</p>
<p>Well I accepted the work study award a while back so I guess I just might have to stick with it since it’s limited and an upperclassmen told me it’s hard to get after freshmen year. Thanks for the info!</p>
<p>16 hrs + work-study is a hefty schedule in general but even more so for an entering freshman. If you have a strong background in GChem and intro bio, and your UGS is easy, this might be manageable though not necessarily fun. Otherwise, I would consider dropping the sociology class. If you push the sociology class off until later, you’ll have 13 hrs + work-study, a perfectly normal freshman schedule.</p>
<p>I’ve actually already taken AP Chem, bio, and calculus so I hope it makes it easier.</p>
<p>Ohhh, you already took them? Why didn’t you say so? Go ahead. Do whatever you want. Make some As =D</p>
<p>it all depends on your teacher…</p>
<p>I had AP chem,bio, and calc</p>
<p>my ap bio teacher has a masters in cellular biology and according to him he almost had a phd before he had children so he had to give that up for them. He covered cell biology and genetics and evolution in gruesome detail.</p>
<p>so I did GREAT in cellular/molecular bio(bio 1) and genetics( i believe at ut it’s an upper division course)
NO problems whatsoever I even studied last minute and made A’s</p>
<p>it was pretty much the same situation for gen chem 1 and 2
(although I dont attribute this so much to my teacher…more to the fact that gen chem is NOT hard AT ALL)</p>
<p>calc…i feel like my ap calculus teacher…taught us the bare minumum</p>
<p>we knew derivatives, integrals, and sequences and series</p>
<p>but not well</p>
<p>he taught us to where we could go ace the AP test and nothing more</p>
<p>when I had calc in college it kicked my butt for this reason
don’t get me wrong I still made A’s in both calc 1 and 2 but it was ALOT of studying</p>
<p>just thought that piece of information about my experience might help you put things into perspective =]</p>
