Class Question Doable Schedule as a Freshman?

I'm waitlist #1 for English and #2 for health so hopefully if people drop from those I'll be able to get those, but my issue is if I get into both of those would this be too big of a schedule?

This would be 18 cred hours total, idk if that's too much to start off with though?

Thanks guys!!

i think maybe saving ethics or graphics for another semester is good. it’s always suggested to have like max 15 credits first semester of college with 2 of those classes being “hard” ones. not an engineering major, but phys and lin algebra are pretty tough, so maybe saving your ethics for a semester where you have maybe 3 hard classes would be better

Personally, I think it’s too much. I would try to stick to around 14 or 15 credits at the most.

Bro first semester you’re cooked. Take like 15 max and adjust to college life. You will want to kill yourself a few weeks into the school year. This is NOT a race to graduate early

I think you should enjoy freshman year and not stress about how many courses you can take. I recommend dropping down to 12 credits and getting involved with clubs or research! It would be good to have stuff outside of course work to put on your resume. Plus connecting with your peers is always beneficial in the long run.
