Here's the problem: Last semester (my first) I took 19 credits worth of classes:
Gen. Chem. 1: A
Physics 1: A
College Algebra: A
Gen. Psych: A
English Comp. 1: A
First Aid: A
College Forum: P (Pass of Fail class)
( 😛 to everyone who said I'd flunk back in January)
This summer session I'm taking 2 classes worth 6 credits:
Western Civ. 1
English Comp 2
This fall I plan on taking 18 credits:
Gen. Chem. 2
Gen. Bio. 1
Calc. 1
American Lit.
Developmental Psych.
Firstly, are 6 summer credits during the first half of the summer enough? Should I take another 6 during the second half? Do you think the adcoms will question this? Also, since I plan on startng research and shadowing next year, would they question why I am only doing light volunteering this summer?
Also, should I be taking 19 or more credits next semester, since I did so last semester? If I don't, would the adcoms think that I am slacking off? Maybe I should add another 1 credit class like basketball or something.
The reason I am taking a heavy course load is because I started college in the middle of the year and I don't want to waste a whole year when it comes time for application time. Thanks for any input.
