Oh wise SDF gurus,
I spoke to my pre-med adviser several moons ago, and he gave my transcript two thumbs up, but a thumbs down for workload. On average, I have taken only 12 units (average) worth of classes for about 3 years now. I am a senior now, and plan to up that to 16 units for winter quarter.
In my defense, I am loaded with ECs- I am a founder/president of a growing service-based club, clothing designer (profits go to combating sex slavery, etc.), amateur advertisement designer (rock-climbing company; hopefully they will like what they see this winter ), shadowing, internship, volunteer bio/chem/biochem tutor, among others.
I don't think I can ratchet up my units w/o either compromising my grades or losing an EC (NOOOO!!!). Should I heed his warning and enroll for 4-5 classes, or do what makes me happy and stay loaded on ECs?
Any input (*cough*Mobius?*cough*) from any member would be awesome possum.
Thanks,
Mipp0
