<p>I'm thinking about taking a couple of college courses over the summer, but I am not sure if it would be a good idea. The classes are intro to psychology and medical vocabulary. They're both three hour courses. I think they'd be pretty easy classes, but in the summer? What would you suggest?</p>
<p>ewww medical vocabulary? what do they do, make you memorize a bunch of words?</p>
<p>I’m guessing you’re interested in the medical profession? I would say that it’s not worth it. There are tons of cooler things that you could do in the summer. For example, you could apply to TASP, or you could do some research, volunteer, start an organization, go to mathcamp, self-study some APs…</p>
<p>If it’s something you want to do for yourself, and not for your college application, then do it. But colleges won’t really care if you’re taking college classes. Unless it’s like Linear Algebra or discrete mathematics or Calc 4.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I’m assuming your question is whether they’ll be too hard. If you’re on CC they shouldn’t be.</p>
<p>Anyway, our question is about why you want to take the courses.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I hate when it’s called Calculus IV.</p>
<p>Anyway, I’ll shut up.</p>
<p>What about organic chemistry?
calc 3?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Are you suggesting courses are asking if they are courses colleges would care about?</p>
<p>both…</p>
<p>I want to take the two summer courses to get them out of the way. My plan is to start college as a sophomore. It’s free in my state to take college classes while concurrently enrolled in high school, so I want to take advantage of that. With AP/CLEP and concurrent enrollment, I should have enough credits to knock out an entire year’s worth of college before graduating. </p>
<p>So, long answer short, I want the classes to save money and cut my college time down from six to five years.</p>
<p>That makes more sense. Otherwise, those classes would not add much to anything beyond your personal knowledge.</p>
