I'm currently scheduled to take a course load of 10 units. Physiology and Calc II. But I can save money by dropping calc and falling into less than full time status. Question: Should I drop it or take what I've taken in the past..ie 13-14 units by adding one more class.

I'm a non-trad student, have taken 13-14 units a semester...all science/math and have a 4.0 BPCM. I've taken this general load while working at a hospital as an ER scribe for 18-26 hours a week and tutoring on the side for about 10 hours a week. Does this show enough ability to handle load? It averages about to 18 hours/week lecture/lab time, 28-36 hours week work, and 10-15 hours study time...total about 55-65 hours week.

Generally, I'm not the neurotic pre-med student. But I realize I may have miscalculated in not taking my course load into account and need some feedback.

Doing research this semester now and currently average around 45-60 hours total time spent work/school. Is this reasonable? Or do I need to do at least one 17 unit semester?

Thanks for any feedback.
