I plan on transferring to University of Southern California for a degree in Economics. USC states that if you have 30 or more college credits they will put less emphasis on your high school grades and test scores. Also, I would like to transfer there in my sophomore year if possible. To achieve 30 credits I intend on taking summer classes and a a heavy fall and winter course load so I can achieve 30 credits by their transfer deadline of Feb 11.

How many summer classes/credits is a good amount?
Is this achievable to get 30 credits by the Feb 11 of my freshmen year?
Will my GPA suffer from the large amount of course load?
Feel free to provide any other info or important details that I may have forgotten to ask.
