<p>I took 21 credits last semester (5 pass/fail but attendance/lab time was required), and it could be a bit of time crunch. I was going to take 16 credits, but decided at the last minute to add anoither random 3-credit course to fulfill an honors requirement.</p>
<p>Chem 1 5 credits (3 hours of lectures and 5 hours of lab) major req.
Bio II/Honors Lab 4 credits (3 hours of lecture and 2 hours of lab) major req.
Business Law Honors 3 credits
Intro to Fiction Writing 3 credits GE
Applied Calc 4 credits major req.</p>
<p>It’s going to be tough, but if you prioritize you should make it. But at what cost? Is it going to stress you out the whole semester? Is it going to adversely affect your GPA?</p>
<p>Taking two sciences at the same time plus calculus is hard, but it’s doable if you make studying your priority. Bio II (if it’s cell bio) will take a lot of energy out of you itself, but all you need to do is have a goal in mind for grades in each of your classes and work towards that goal.</p>
<p>If you don’t mind science/math, you should be ok, thats a common type of a schedule for a life sciences/pre-pharmacy major. I’m going to guess you aren’t expecting your writing class to be too hard, and business law should be a nice break from labs…is it harder because it’s honors?</p>
<p>since you’re worried about time, as a creative writing minor, I will warn you that writing classes, while not the toughest subject to all, take a lot of time. So I completely think it’s a great course to take, but if you were counting on it being your lighter class, you counted wrong.</p>
<p>I dunno. Try it. It doesn’t look that bad but everyone has their different limits and capabilities. If it starts feeling like it won’t work, get out of there fast. Happiness above all.</p>
<p>Actually, I’m probably the MOST nervous about the creative writing course. I’ve done a lot of writing (fiction and non-fiction) in past, and while it has been generally very well received, I’m nervous that this particular professor won’t like my particular style, and I’ll be screwed. Yes, I know writing takes time (I always tell people reviewing my work, “Don’t worry; I can guarantee you it’ll take you far less time to read it than it did for me to write it.” ), so I’m not taking the class lightly. However, I really enjoy writing fiction generally, so I’m hoping the class won’t FEEL like that much work.</p>
<p>Yeah, I’m just taking Business Law to fulfill one of required honors courses for my scholarship, so I can have time in upcoming semsters to take fun, non-honors courses (like “Network Programming”) to balance out Ochem instead of jamming in honors requisites, </p>
<p>I’m nervous about Calc and Chem, as math isn’t my strongest point (I like science but not pure math. Odd, I know). I could have AP’ed out of Bio, but chose not to, so I’m hoping that’ll help just a bit</p>
<p>I’d hold off a class if I were you, probably business law. Universities generally structure their major/minor curriculum so you can complete it all doing hte standard 15 credits at a time. Unless you’re trying to rush things and graduate early there’s no need to stress yourself.</p>
