Couple of Questions.

1) Are graduate level courses taken for bachelors degree calculated for grad GPA or UGPA?

2) I'm going to be taking 12 semester unit at one school. While I'm on the semester from Jan~ Mid May, I figured I would need to take more classes since I'm a postbac student. So I plan on taking winter quarter (1~2 class, jan ~ march) and spring quarter (1~2, march ~ june) at different institution that is nearby. It came out about 22 semester units or 33 ( 16.5 unit each quarter) unit by the end of june. Do you guys think its doable or overload?😕

3) I have classes only Mond~Wednesday, so I'm debating whether get an apartment nearby the school or commute , which is 4 hour roundtrip. Mond~Wednesday I would have to wake up 4:30 am to catch the bus at 5 and get there by 7 or spend about 800 per month for the next few months.

Thanks for your time.

1) From my personal experience, the graduate courses I took that counted toward my BA, ended up being calculated in my undergrad GPA in AADSAS, makes little sense to me, but that's how they did it. I don't think too many people take graduate courses in lieu of undergrad courses for their BA/BS, but perhaps someone else here can give their experience if they did this too? (Not people who took grad courses post-bacc.)

2) Having trouble understanding what exactly you're doing here (you're using units and quarters, which I'm not familiar with, I tend to think of credits and semesters). Regardless, the ability to handle any set of classes will depend greatly on WHICH classes you're taking. E.g. in my experience, taking 5 social science courses was equal to taking 2-3 science with lab courses. So, could you list the classes you plan to take together?

3) Again, from personal experience, I'd pay for the apartment. Saving on sleep and commuting time is great (time is money after all). If you can afford to do it of course.

1. It depends what your transcript says. If you have separate transcripts for grad or professional school (law or medicine) then you will get a separate gpa for those that will be programs under the Graduate GPA column, and they will be differentiated on your AADSAS.
