<p>I'm probably going to have to do this next semester. What are your thoughts on doing that, is it just going to be way too hard or even possible.</p>
<p>i've taken 22, with good time management you can be fine.</p>
<p>it's pretty annoying though because you will almost always have class conflicts with office hours.</p>
<p>Could you please tell me how your schedule looked, and why did you take so many credits</p>
<p>Way too little information to comment. Labs? Upper level courses? My school doesn't calculate credit hours the way yours does but I have taken large class load more than a few times and had little problems. More appropriate would be to mention the classes or their relative difficulty to you personally. Is this to get done for graduation or what?</p>
<p>No I'm a freshman, so it's just going to be Bio,Chem with labs, english, and then I don't know 2 more general classes. The reason why I need 20 credits next semester is because I need 30 by the end of the year. I was taking 15 this semester but I dropped chem which was worth 5 credits.</p>
<p>not sure which school you go to, but i am currently taking bio with chem and its not easy. you may think that you have a head start cause your high school was hard or because you took the AP tests but college is way more in depth. plus taking two classes in addition will KILL you unless they are complete blow-off classes. I recommend you take bio, chem, and english first semester</p>
<p>So you took 15 and found Chem the black hole for time? Got behind? Too hard? If you took 15 and couldn't make it a go then what are your reasons for thinking that taking more hours and the same course type will work now? Just explain your logic?</p>
<p>NOTE: What is your school's PF policy? I'd investigate that first of all.</p>
<p>My roomate is Taking 28 credits</p>
<p>English
History
Psycology
Chem 2
Physics 1
Calc 2
Anotomy
Physiology</p>
<p>He takes around 24 now and never studies, does hw doesnt even go to class and gets A's. If you re this kind of person, then you will be fine.</p>
<p>I was taking 15; chem+lab, bio + lab, english, and history but I had some issues the first month and half of school and I really fell behind. Luckily I was able to catch up in all of my classes, that is except for chemistry. With out chemistry I'll have near a 4.0 by the end of the semester. I don't really think taking both chem and bio together is that hard, I would've had no problem at if I didn't fall behind in the beginning of school.</p>
<p>EDIT: My school doesn't allow freshman to take a class P/F</p>
<p>20 would be too much for me, and I doubt there are too many people out there like Engineer was talking about. You could do a summer session or take classes at your local community college to keep from having to more than the average 15.</p>

<p>Took them because i had accidentally bumped down to 9 hours after dropping a class, even though i also had 9 hours from the summer, i just felt like taking a heavier course load to raise the GPA...</p>
<p>my schedule looked something like this</p>
<p>MWF -
introduction to medical terminology 9-10
sociology 11-12
psychology of advertising 1-2
calculus 2-3
government 4:30-6 (mondays and wednesdays only)</p>
<p>TTH-
10-11:30 Chemistry
1:30-3 Astronomy</p>
<p>The worst part of the schedule was that I when i would have exams coming up i'd have an exam every day of the week with some on top of each other</p>
<hr>
<p>if i can get an internship i'll probably do 22 hours again but 3 hours will be from the internship which is basically a free 4.0 for 3 hours</p>
<p>I would think your real concern would be prereq for third semester. As to PF it is more an issue of how to plan your 8 semesters and use the advantage to bump up the hours w/o risk of lowering GPA.</p>
