emblem101,

Don’t assume that because you had similar courses in community college, that you will be guaranteed a higher GPA than your fellow Wharton peers. Not everyone can get A’s and they are probably every bit as smart and grade hungry as you are.

As an aside, I have a son who dropped a 7th course this term when he saw his midterm and final schedule. Poeme gave good advice when he added that you should’t take all hard classes. Test the waters your first term. My guess is you will not feel the same way when you look back at your post in December. By the way, the Writing Seminar is notorious for chopping egos (as well as GPA’s) down to size.

If you absolutely must feed your addiction for overloading classes, use the pass/fail option wisely.
