There isn’t a linear inverse correlation between GPA attained and number of classes per semester. For some people 5 classes is the most that they can handle while some can take 7 or 8 classes per semester not no substantial impact to their GPA. It also depends on what classes you are taking, some like organic chemistry and biochemistry take a lot more time and effort than others.

Your advice is sound. I am planning on taking the bio and chem placement exams. Also, I have already placed out of physics (2 5s on AP Physics C) and I will take the three mathematics placement exams (114, 240, 241) since I have already taken the equivalent of those courses in high school (calc 1-3, dif eq., lin. alg., and partial diff. eq.). Are you allowed to take all of the above placement exams in the orientation session?
