The 4.0 Challenge - Fall 2012 (Pre-dental Version)

[Mr. Thirsty]

Hey SDN, saw this topic in the pre-med forums and thought it was interesting! Basically you just list your courses, number of credits and what challenges you are planning to conquer to manage your time and get that 4.0 GPA. I thought it would be interesting to see how much variation there is in a pre-dent's schedule and how we all manage our grades in undergrad!

I guess I'll start off:

17 credits - Nutritional Sciences - Senior
Physics 1(3)
Physics lab (1)
Molecular Biology TA (2)
Architecture (3)
Organic Chem Lab (2)
Nutrition 451 -Throughout Life Cycle (3)
Nutrition 456 - Community (3)

Challenges
Airsoft Club Pres. (Events every other sunday, 6 hours)
Pre-dental Society Secretary (Meetings twice a month, 1-2 hours)
TA Office Hours (1 day a week)
Exercise (4-5 days a week)
All of my friends are now 21 (7 days a week)
Senioritis (5 -6 days a week), but applying to DS after next year so I can't mess this up! haha


I don't think this will be to bad to handle... 17 credits and about ~10 hrs a week of EC's/exercise. I think I can maybe manage friday nights out and at least watch Breaking Bad on saturday/sunday. Expectation - 4.0.

So how about the rest of you? Let's see them schedules!
