<p>The most I have taken in a single semester was 10 classes, but two were labs for quantum physics and thermo/fluid physics. The classes were all core type classes, diff eq, thermodynamics, dynamics, etc…. I ended with 6 A’s, an A-, and a B+ in dynamics. </p>
<p>I HIGHLY recommend NOT scheduling such an insane load. I spent the entire semester reacting to homework assignments, quizzes, and tests. Afterwards, I was totally exhausted and depressed. </p>
<p>I completed four final exams in one day. I went into the finals confident of my abilities to successfully complete the semester. However, after working for about 10 hours straight on the four finals(in a single day), during the start of the last one, I gave up mentally. I entered the final with a 99 average, and bombed the final due to mental exhaustion and got an A-.</p>
<p>I successfully completed 17 courses for 34 credit hours in my final semester of undergraduate study. It was tough, but I did it. Anyone else even close?</p>
<p>I took 20 quarter units (Senior year – all upper division courses). I also had a 20 hr/wk part time internship. AND I owned my own business on the side.</p>
<p>I did 31 at my community college in Mississippi. I’m a music ed major, so there are a lot of 1, 2, and 3 credit classes. Doing 27 this semester. On track to graduate with a 4.0, 57 classes and 100+ credits in the two years at this particular school. </p>
<p>I took 24 semester units I got a 4.0 gpa and it was easy, well for me because I don’t find it difficult to read the material and remember it. Now Im no genius just good at memorizing. </p>
<p>Eng 1b-4 units
ACC1b-3 units
Calc 2-4 units
Ant-2-3 units
Stats-11-4 units
The-Intro-3 units
Bus-18b bus las 2-3 units </p>
The most college credits I took in a single college term was 40 credits and earned a 3.39 GPA for that quarter. The term prior to that, I took 30 hours at 3 separate colleges and still maintained academic honors. I also worked part time. I would not recommend doing this as you loose touch with reality and takes years of recovery to reintegrate into the normal life of socialization, Otherwise you retain a mechanical, robot type of mentality where every statement made by others is interpreted as a test question and you answer appropriate to the (?) question, but inappropriate to the situation (like at a Party). Others view you as narcissistic and claim you need to relax and enjoy the party. So I suggest that is not the amount of credit you take, but the quality time you place on the subject(s) and allow time for proper integration so that you are not overwhelmed and loose touch with reality of time, place, and socialization skills. Validation of this claim is available via the Oregonian News Paper 3 Dec 1973, reprint apparent 1977. Found this on Ebay by accident (funny what you will find about yourself on the internet… so watch what you say and do on social networks!)… http://www.ebay.com/itm/1977-Press-Photo-Norbert-Johnson-Jr-Mulinoo-Resident-Portland-State-Univeristy-/391137957406?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5b11a3961e.
My first year and second semester as a music education major (Spring of '13) I took 22 credit hours between two gen ed courses, an introductory education course, and three or four music classes. It killed my GPA because I was always exhausted, and I failed Music Theory. I ended up taking a year off to work and recover, changing my major during that time to just music. I went part time last year too so I could take the classes I failed again and catch up on others. I will never take anything over 16-18 again and don’t recommend it either.
