I am going to start my sophomore year of college this fall. I will be 17 years old (just for reference purposes), and the state pays for me to go to college early given I stay within 18 credits per quarter, but I'm wondering if I'm going to be overloaded? My dad is a veteran electrical engineer; he laughed and said "yeah, good look with that" when I told him what classes I will be taking in the fall. I'm guessing he's probably right. But what do you guys think? ><
Fall Quarter 2009 Schedule:
1. Pre medical biology 1
2. General physics for science and engineering majors 1
3. Calculus II
4. Voice class, ballet, swimming and orchestra (yes, I am a girl).
I play the violin in the orchestra...I also have a job as a reporter/ news writer for the University newspaper. And I'm pretty athletic and am a pretty experienced ballet dancer, so giving that up wouldn't be an option..all of the "silly" classes are only twice a week if that helps.
Please know that I'm not trying to brag or anything, I'm just trying to get my priorities straight, and want to have a good GPA. Currently it's a 3.7 and I want to get it up. Last year I had to get a bunch of grad and pre calc requirements out of the way (unfortunately this program is through a very very liberal artsy university), which forced me to waste my time with a bunch of classes I will never need to use...I plan to major in nuclear engineering once I transfer after next year, and then go to medical school...or I might go to straight into medical school in Germany (which is the most financially friendly option). But I may major in neuroscience? I don't know. I really want to be an engineer, but I also want to be a doctor...what should I do? I am currently taking calculus I, and I'm not having any problems...yet...(which is easy to say given that we have not gotten too far into the course at this point). I've never really had problems with math though (but that certainly doesn't mean that calculus is going to be easy). (:
My dad said that if I want to accomplish this, then I will have be a robot with no life. But that's normal for engineering majors, right? lol.
If any of you were me, what would you do? Any help is very greatly appreciated! I need academic guidance! :P
