I wouldn’t advise taking such a hard class in your first semester. Even if you finished first in your high school, you will be working 3x as hard at CMU for a much lower GPA (I was 4th in my high school class and I got a 2.5 my first semester at CMU with the same work ethic) so like it or not you have to take a semester to get adjusted to your new study habits/workload. There’s no reason to rush through your courses unless you want to graduate early.
