There was a rumor at my high school that someone graduated from Cornell with 9 majors

<p>Is that true? A guy I know from an AP Stats class claimed that he heard it from his older sister who went to a Cornell info session back in '05 or '06. If it's true, the guy/girl probably graduated after '00 and before '06 .</p>

<p>haha i doubt it</p>

<p>maybe not 9 majors but i could see one graduating with two majors and several minors :O</p>

<p>i will graduate (i hope) with 1 major and 2 minors :O</p>

<p>It was actually 8 majors, 4 of them with departmental honors. I think the dude was in Caltech getting a Ph.D. in Chemistry, last I heard.</p>

<p>Found an article from the Daily Sun; is this the guy?</p>

<p>[C.U</a>. Junior Tackles 60 Credit Semester | The Cornell Daily Sun](<a href=“The Cornell Daily Sun - Independent Since 1880”>The Cornell Daily Sun - Independent Since 1880)</p>

<p>60 credits is ridiculous.</p>

<p>dood takes 60 credits and his schedule is only 9 to 4 30? wth?</p>

<p>wow i cant believe this is actually real</p>

<p>I’m still not sure how this works. I’m not sure 60 credits is mathematically possible, since there’s only so many hours per week that class is held.</p>

<p>someone should try to make a schedulizer with as many credits possible. i think it would be fun to see.</p>

<p>:)</p>

<p>I wonder how that worked out for that guy…</p>

<p>sike. must’ve survived… <a href=“http://www.news.cornell.edu/chronicle/02/4.11.02/Goldwater_scholars.html[/url]”>http://www.news.cornell.edu/chronicle/02/4.11.02/Goldwater_scholars.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>… 15 classes in a semester…?
I’m honestly not sure that’s completely possible…</p>

<p>he must be the ghost of cornellians past</p>

<p>I think it’s possible in the later years, if a lot of your classes are seminars that meet just once a week. After all, he wasn’t getting the 60 credits until Junior year.</p>

<p>meet once a week? wont that be like 1 credit</p>

<p>^there are some higher-level seminars that meet like 2 hrs a week and are 4 credits</p>
