<p>There’s a lot of factors when it comes to how hard a schedule is, so it’s really hard to judge over the internet. Different schools require different levels of involvement, have different workloads, and some are simply more challenging than others.</p>
<p>Things to consider:
- How does it compare to your schedule last semester? If last semester you had 4 classes worth 12 credits or something, jumping straight up to 6 classes and 18 credits might be a bad idea. If you were doing 16-17 last semester, it’s a lot more feasible.</p>
<ul>
<li><p>Background knowledge, what do you already know? Are these classes familiar territory, and are they subjects you enjoy? If any of the subjects are way out of your comfort zone or areas you struggle with, it’s better to go light.</p></li>
<li><p>Your school’s workload, what do classes like this usually assign? How much reading/writing did your first english class assign? The second class is probably comparable. How were other humanities/criminal classes you took? Try to guess how much work each kind of class will assign, and gauge how do-able it is from that.</p></li>
<li><p>Any other time commitments. If you’re working or involved in a lot of ECs/clubs, you might want to save some time for those.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>I’ve been at schools where a schedule like this would be relatively normal, and I’ve been at others where it would’ve been a death wish. It really depends a lot on you, your strengths, and your school.</p>
<p>You could also just try it and see, if you’re still unsure about your schedule. Make sure you know the drop deadlines and policies, and if it turns out you’ve taken on too much then you can adjust it later.</p>
