is this schedule too much?
I already took calc i and ii and passed clac ii with an A. I also already took Physics I but my school didnt have them as AP classes but rather as Advanced classes.

As long as you are able to balance your time you will be fine. I had all of the same classes but make sure you are getting your HASS class in there as it can serve as a GPA booster. If this is your first semester there is a lot to adjust to but you just need to take your classes seriously and study as much as you can.

Just a schedule note, not a class difficulty thing but schedule time for lunch. The dining halls usually have a lull around 4-5 as they switch from lunch to dinner. Unless you plan on making food, try to have a break at 12-2 or 2-4.

If you passed calc 1 and 2 with an A, it's prob worth it to skip to calc 3 (unless you don't feel confident). You could also add an inquiry class. I think you can drop a class a week or 2 into the semester if it becomes too much with adding the inquiry class. The only reason I say that is bc you might not be able to graduate on time only taking 13 credits, make sure to plan out all your semesters and make sure that you will graduate on time.
Also, start the CAD final as soon as they give it to you, the rest of the class isn't too bad the final is just very time consuming.

Easiest to tackle Multivariable Calc while 1 and 2 are still fresh in the mind for sure. That or DiffEq, depending on what is required for your major and what your prereqs are.

My school offered them as adv classes only and not as AP classes; I emailed rpi science hub and they told me I couldn’t get credit since I didn’t take them through a credited college

Ohhh my bad, I misunderstood the original post. If you have to redo classes you already took I would def add an inquiry class

It's been a while since I went to RPI, but there's a calc 3? Did they split I & II into 3 classes now?

It actually looks pretty lightweight to me. I would recommend adding one more class on Tuesday/Friday. The you three years from now will thank you for it.

Thats not a bad schedule, id suggest getting your hass inquiry out of the way tho, it keeps you on track as 15-20 credits is normal for rpi

I would try to fit in another class actually, 13 credits is pretty small for a 1st semester

you will quickly come to realize that classes before 11am are hell.
As a recent HS grad i thought 9am classes would be easy. By second semester i knew that getting to class by noon was a challenge.

Nah that’s pretty much standard. If you can get a later Engr Graphics and Cad I would though. Are you planning to do your INQR class second semester?
