About how many classes do you take each semester?

I’m trying to get an idea of what classes I’d like to take at Cornell this fall. Can someone comment on the number of credits that students usually take in a semester? Also, are there any advice about what kind of classes to take? For example, is it a bad idea to take 2 or more science classes at the same time? What is the best time to schedule my class? How many courses should I take, not including PE and FWS? I’m in CAS, but I may switch into engineering. I also plan to go on the pre-med track.

Also, do you recommend using AP scores? I think I can skip out of Chem 207 and Phys 207, as well as the Bio G courses. Finally (for now), would you recommend me taking chem 208 or the 215-216 series?
