oh nm yes they do, the max limit is 9 credits lol.

so how about it bois and gurls, biochem 1 (3 credits), 2 economic elective (6 credits). doable in 6 weeks? should i just go with biochem 1 and microeconomics? which is only 4 credits, thus is only 7 credits in total?

It took me a few seconds more than it should've, but I think I got what you're saying. I think it's quite doable, provided you're able to devote the time it requires. I myself am taking 15 credits over nine weeks, and I've been able to manage it. I have no doubt you can do the same.

My only question would be: what makes the two economic electives preferable to the microeconomics for you? Is it merely the number of credits/classes, or is there something you like about them in particular? That ought to be the basis of your decision.

Don't assume you'll get an A - work for it! It's better to put in too much effort and get a higher grade than to put in "just enough" and end up with a B.

For GPA purposes, this seems good. Are you also attending any workshops or seminars? Those work well for my school, and if they're a week long or shorter they don't count towards the credit cap, even though you get credits for them.

My 15 credit classes are going okay. I had a midterm today and I'm anxiously awaiting the results. I studied well, but the test was different than I expected, and covered different parts of the material. I'm hoping for at least an 85% so I have some leeway on the final if I'm to get an A!

Good luck with your summer courses!

If economics is a joke at your institute than do it : ). Be sure to use pickaprof.com when scheduling those classes to make sure you don't get the completely gung-ho teacher for an economics class..

oh thanks, i tends to use ratemyprofessor.com. it apparently failed me earlier since a bio teacher was rated 3.0ish out of 5, i took him, it was the worst class i have ever sat in. i go to stony brook, i dont think they are tough on social sciences like eco, they are big on psy tho.

I took these exact two courses at the same time last summer. Went to biochem in the morning, work during the day, microecon in the evening. Usually went 8am - 8pm but neither was not all that difficult.

Biochem was the first science class I ever got a solid "A" in during college. It's straight memorization and if you put in your hours to study (which you should 'cause it's summer), you will be fine.

Microecon should be a joke. If you're not working or volunteering much, then consider the other econ course as well, but remember that your time is probably spent better taking the two classes and working on ECs.

yea i am currently volunteering at the school's hospital. its not really clinical, its more of community. altho i can ask my director person to let me do clinical volunteering. i wonder, would med school know the difference if i put it up there as clinical.....
