<p>I am transferring from CC to University this coming Fall 2011, and to major in Business there I need a cumulative GPA of 3.0. When I was younger in HS I would take dual enrollment programs and summer classes but I was not focused then and was into drugs, so I failed a good amount of those classes. I have gotten myself together and very focused on my goal now, but my cumulative GPA even with all those As is only 2.74. To reach my goal I was thinking I could take 3 summer classes Summer I and 3 summer classes Summer II. I have never gone beyond taking 2 summer classes a summer session and then I had trouble because it was in my high school years. </p>

<p>The classes I am planning to take for Summer I are Business Calculus, Financial Accounting, and Micro Economics. The classes I am planning to take for Summer II are Calculus I, Managerial Accounting, and Macroeconomics.</p>

<p>How tough do you think this would be? I am rather good at absorbing information, and since I've set my mind on my goal I've got nothing but As in classes. I still don't know what to expect though. Is taking this many classes completely crazy? Should I cut it down to 2 each summer session, and hope to get my GPA higher? Or should I just go for the 3 and if I feel I can't do well drop 1 in the 1st week?</p>

<p>idk cause i want to take 2 summer classes myself this summer, but i heard summer classes can be very difficult because theres only like 6 weeks so im guessing the classes are everyday for a longer period and im guessing the course is pretty fast since your trying to fit a while semester into only 6 weeks, alot of ppl will probably tell you 3 classes is alot of the summer but its all up to you if u think you can handle it and manage your time</p>

<p>The classes you mentioned sound incredibly difficult to cram into an accelerated summer session. If you’re a hard worker and don’t mind giving up your social life for six or so weeks, then I say go for it. If you don’t feel like you can do it, then you always have the option to drop one.</p>
