for those who are tkaing summer classes or multiple fall/spring classes are you working fulltime? And for those who are working are your clsses in the evening, or do you have a flexible job that allows you to take UG classes during the day (I can't find schools in the area w/ night classes in the sciences)...
Well, I am taking summer classes this year and I am working fulltime. I am a med tech and work 3 12 hour shifts (Friday, Saturday and Sunday). However, I am taking only one class since they're only 5 weeks long so I imagine it must be tough. After all, that's 16 weeks of class time being jammed packed into 5 weeks. I'm sure it's doable but challenging.
When I first started this pre-med route, I had to re-take classes since they were pretty old. I only took one gen. chem class just to get my feet wet, and I worked 40 hours a week then. Also, I wasn't sure how I was going to do at first because I had been out of school for quite awhile. I made an A. In the following semester, I decided to take 2 classes, and worked 38-40 hours. I still maintained my 4.0 GPA.
This coming fall semester, I am taking two science courses, physics and biology, and maybe calculus 3. I am praying that I will do well. My classes will be on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I will work every weekend and pick up a few hours over the week.
I will pretty much echo what most of here are saying. Do whatever floats your boat. If you can work fulltime and go to school fulltime, great! But for some, like me, can only do school part time and work full time. And that's okay too. In my case, I would rather just take my time so I can secure my GPA.
Good luck!
