Paranoid - Am I Just Worrying Too Much?

So, I’m a bit confused because some core courses are 1.5 credits, and because my son will come in with a pile of math and some physics.
If he ends up needing only:
CS 42, engineering, all the chemistry, only the prob&stat math, and probably mostly the higher level core physics, what sort of schedule would he end up with in terms of 3 credit and 1.5 credit courses? Are there many courses that are 1.5 credits and NOT core courses?

Short answer - no, other courses are primarily full courses (3 units). With the exception of seminars like Putnam seminar (work through math problems, P/F). I took a 14.5 load the first semester, so don’t worry about not having ‘enough’ classes. </p>

<p>Working off your provided information, here’s a suggested course schedule. </p>

<p>Fall 1 - 15.5:
CS 42 (3)
Chemistry (3)
Writing 1 (1.5)
Physics or Chemistry Lab (1)
Elective (3)
Physics 51 (3) - suggested
PE (1)</p>

<p>Spring 1 - 17:
Biology (3)
Chemistry (1.5)
Physics or Chemistry Lab (1)
Prob Stat (1.5)
Critical Inquiry (3)
Hum elective - suggested (3)
Major course - suggested (3)
PE - suggested (1)</p>

<p>Fall 2:
Engineering 59 (3)
Choice Lab (1)
Rest of Core Math?
whatever he wants</p>
