So how do I get those 13 units in my first quarter?

Most courses at UCLA are four units, and some are five. Two four-unit courses and one five-unit course will do it, or three four-unit courses plus a Fiat Lux course, which is one unit. For instance, the following courses are all five units, so if you take one of them and two four-unit courses, you’ll be set: Life Sciences 1, English Comp 3, Statistics 13.



I didn’t do a check on hours/week, but as you said, if there’s a lot of time spent outside of class in research, studying in relation to hours per week, then I can see this.
