Well guys and girls, this is the low down.


I did not do very well in high school at all. I am not a genius by any means. I happen to acquire a high GPA and rack up some ECs' in college but I have done so by being pretty conservative with my course load. 12,14,12,16,15 is the trend in semester hours I have taken since my freshmen year. This upcoming spring semester I am going to take 17 hours.

The classes being:

Honors Organic Chemistry II w. Lab
Cell Biology w. Lab
Honors Seminar *writing intensive
Political Science
Spanish III

In addition to this course load I will be spending at least 10 hours in the lab and giving tours of the university (takes an hour for one tour).


Is this doable???? Advice, Suggestions ETC I REALLY NEED IT

doesnt look too hard.. if the teachers are good and dont give out alot of work.. you should be fine.

That's easy compared to all the engineers I know (including myself). Only you can decide what you can handle.

Don't engineers have notoriously low GPAs?

No. (3.95 here. My buddy has a 3.97. Another, 3.87. That's just in my eng major.)

Oh, well at my school the engineering majors have pretty low GPAs. Mainly due to how difficult the classes are... You and your friends must be pretty smart.



Well anybody who is of average intelligence care to chime in?

 

[Contrarian]

that schedule should be of average difficulty. nothing too easy, nothing too difficult. you'll manage.

I think I really concerned with the amount of time that cell biology will take. I have gotten into the habit of rewriting my notes..which takes a great deal of time. I tried a different approach with Genetics this semester. It did not go well.. I ended up with an A by salvaging my grade with the final.

Anybody rewrite notes at one point and have found a better way?
