HOLY JEEBUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS


That is a heck of a course load you've got there haha. If I may ask, why have you been taking such heavy course loads? Are you a double major?

That is a heck of a courseload you've got there haha.

I look back at freshman year and wondered how I survived. There should be an extra hour in there because our language had an extra 50 minute speaking class once a week that is not included in our credits. Last semester was my easiest and that was still 18 hours. Go figure. I am hoping that although my GPA is not the greatest I think I handled that course load pretty well and schools will see that.

Why? Those are all my required classes! I just had electives available my junior year. And nope, I am just a good ol' biology major.

13 and 14 but I never take "fluff" classes like everyone else. All tough science prereqs.

 

[Blarelli]

I try to have 12 credits worth of real science classes a semester, and 3-4 other credits each semester to keep things sort of balanced.

Came in with 3 hrs AP
Freshman: Fall- 15 Spring- 15 Summer - 7
Sophomore: Fall: 14 Spring: 14 Summer- 6
Junior: Fall- 14 Spring - 12 THIS Summer- 10
Senior: THIS Fall-14 GRADUATION!!!!

Yes, I have worked a minimum of 20 hours a week since starting school in the fall of 2005. I have worked near 40 depending on the week and on my monetary needs. It can be done while keeping good grades. It has only gotten more difficult the last year and a half since I have had a girlfriend.....

 

[murff05]

I volunteer as a team manager. That takes up about 15 hours a week and even more when we travel on the weekends.
