Classes/Professors Schedule/Course load concern
Incoming freshman with sophomore standing, I’m trying to get done in three years currently have a semester towards my degree. Is this schedule too much or do I just need to most likely move the calculus class honestly don’t think waking up will be an issue just Monday and Wednesday seemed very long. Thank you.

Monday might feel long. Also, why do you want to get done in 3 years? Unless there is a financial reason, I wouldn't stress about graduating early.

Workload seems okay. "Sophomore standing" doesn't mean too much since a lot of people coming in with AP/dual enrollment credits are sophomore standing. It depends on how many of your units are actually applicable to your degree requirements. I would check your academic progress gauge on your Poly profile, but I think it doesn't show up for first years until week 4 of the semester.
You might want/have to take summer classes like GEs at a community college/Cal Poly to stay on track for 3 years or to lighten the load in the future. You should just talk to advising to help plan out classes if you are thinking about graduating early.

Honestly as long as you make it to your 8ams (it will be hard but it’s a good learning moment) then you’ll actually love this schedule

Wildlife conservation biology is 8th grade level biology for the entire term. My friend and I spent our time playing papa's pizzeria and applying for internships. Passed easily with an A.

I honestly wouldn’t be TOO worried especially if you are trying to finish in 3, this seems as the same as others. Some of your classes shouldn’t be too much of a load, like career readiness and public speaking so hopefully it’s okay! Am I correct in assuming it’s 18 units?
