I've been looking up on the pledging experience at cornell and it looks like 2nd semester it's a good idea to ease up on the work load lol. Originally my first semester was going to be my transition period (4 classes +PE) and second semester I was going to take 5 classes, assuming I got used to college. Now this is clearly not a good idea from what I've read. Now, I have 2 options, but I'm not sure what to do.
1) Take 5 classes first semester, to get some CAS req out of the way. Then take 4 classes 2nd semester. 31 credits for the year
2) Stay with my original 4 classes first semester, forget about making up for the 2nd semester. 5 classes is too much. Take 4 classes for 2nd semester. 28 credits for the year.
I'm placing in w/ 16 AP credits, so I only need 104 credits to graduate. I figure if I even went with 4 classes each semester I would still graduate with enough credits, so it won't be a big deal. But I don't know.
If any of you have gone through the pledging process, advice on this topic would be great!
