<p>Don’t do more than 15 credits first semester. You’ll cry. Even first semester e-schoolers take 15 credits, and that’s to get situated with college. It’s the second semester’s 17 cr load that weeds the weak links out (jk).</p>
<p>My suggestion:
Drop either DiffEq or the survey class. Take a non math/science class. Dropping DiffEq and having a 3 cr elective will leave you with 15 credits, which is perfect. Take STS or ECE 200 or something cool like that if you want to stay in the science-y area. But your schedule looks ridiculous, and I know you want to be “oh I can handle it i’m smart”. Yes, you may be brilliant. But you only have one first year, so spend it wisely. Loading up 16 credits, with two 300 level math classes and Physics III, is just dumb. You’re not slacking by carrying 14 credits when you are placed into diffeq and physics III.</p>
