<p>Hey guys! I know it's probably wayyy too early to start thinking about stuff like this but I absolutely loveee psyching myself out and distracting myself right before AP season ;)</p>

<p>So I'm still undecided whether I want to go in the sciences or in the humanities (funny...huh...it's the interdisciplinarity that probably got me into Penn) and I was wondering if the following courseload would be impossible first semester with a 3.5+ GPA:</p>

<p>BIOL 121 (5 on the AP exam, 800 SAT Bio)
CHEM 101 (taking right now, shouldn't forget too much over the summer)
MATH 114 (5 on the AB exam..should have actually worked and taken BC)
ECON 001 (not much background)
French 212 Advanced French (non-native, 800 SAT French)</p>

<p>Additional context: 4.0 UW in competitive HS (20+ people to Ivies + SM), Yale interviewer who came from a rival high school told me there wasn't much of a difference in academic atmosphere or difficulty between our high schools and Yale... (I don't mean to sound cocky I just wanted to provide more context :/)</p>

<p>Anyone who's done something similar, please feel free to chime in!</p>

<p>You won’t be able to take all of those courses in the college first semester, your credit limit is 4.5. Both chem and bio have labs so they are 1.5 credits so what you have right now is 6 credits. It you took bio out and just did math, chem, econ, and french that should be fine, although I would recommend taking a writing seminar to get that requirement out of the way.</p>
