Thanks for the responses thus far. I had a feeling that would be the answer… For most people, I would say that the above advice is good and I heared the reasons for the College course load limit from the Dean of the College but my statement that I would be bored with 5.5 units didn’t come from no where. The reason I say that is because I have already taken all but 2 of the Wharton core courses at a local university. I compared the syllabi and the content is indeed the same. Unfortunately, Wharton is practically the only school that does not accept credits from previous college work so I am essentially repeating the same courses but with many less courses per semester. I guess the bright side is that it should be fairly easy to get a high GPA that first year or so. Does anybody have any suggestion on how to challenge myself academically, aside from participating in clubs and sports? Also what is the highest number of courses that you can take in a semester, after the first semester of freshmen year.
