is this schedule too much?

For me personally, how heavy a schedule is depends on how spaced out the classes are. In the past, I’ve tried to aim for no more than two classes every day, but I had to give that up last semester when I realized I needed to meet my requirements. I know exactly what you mean about needing to take a class in the fall so you can meet the pre-req in the spring; two of the five classes I’m taking next semester are for the same reason.

But, next semester I have four classes on Tuesday/Thursday (and one on Monday/Wednesday), and ultimately I’ll be in class from 9:30 to 12:30, and 2:00 to 5:00. But even that’s preferable to last semester, when my Tuesdays and Thursdays went from 9:30 to 2:00. Trying to find a way to eat between classes is very stressful.

Anyway, what I’m saying is I think the first thing you should do is consider what time all these classes are held (and, if they’re back to back, how close geographically they are). That may help you decide.
