<p>Hello, I am a freshmen at GWU. The school requires you to take 200 credits over the course of four years. Due to time constraints and problems, I am only taking 13 credits (4 courses) first semester. I plan on taking at least 16 next semester. I also already have close to 20 credits from AP credit and college courses. how much will only taking 13 credits first semester hurt?</p>
<p>None at all.</p>
<p>200? That’s 25 credits a semester (assuming 4 years). That’s insane.</p>
<p>What am I missing here?</p>
<p>The fact that the OP misread his school’s requirements.</p>
<p>It’s also possible they are quarter hours, in which case 200 over 4 years would be about right.</p>
<p>^Probably the case. Also, some schools have weird credit to hours conversions.</p>
