<p>I'm a bio major, taking 17 units, and feel like I'm failing while actually TRYING to get good grades. -.-</p>
<p>hee hee, I got a 3.425 my freshman fall quarter with 16 units as a bio major. 3.737 by end of first year</p>
<p>to the OP </p>
<p>welcome to the UC system. </p>
<p>Im a 3rd year and yea it will take a lot out of you. If you want A’s you will have to perform better than the rest and that is not easy since everyone in your class took AP’s everyone got good grades in high school. You are now competing with some of the brightest kids around.</p>
<p>My worst quarter was my first quarter. And I only had 12 units! Just hang in there and do your best.</p>
<p>don’t put too much on your plate freshman year</p>
<p>give yourself time to be social as well as concentrate on your classes.</p>
<p>i got around 3.93 or something.</p>
<p>I need a strong GPA so that I can get into the Business Admin major next year. =/</p>
