@goldencub, they really recommend taking it slow the first semester and there’s a reason. It is a transition, plus you want to be able to get to know the campus. My daughter is taking 3 courses and two decals. She said some transfers were being pummeled with overlapping finals and papers. Now, I know you are a whiz in the coursework, so you might be able to manage. But, assuming you can fit it all in conveniently during your two year tenure, I would advise holding off - so you have the very best shot at getting a GPA with distinction, or high distinction.
