I will be able to graduate in three years, if I take summer courses. I've got three general grad requirements that haven't been handled by previous transcripts, IB, or my current classes/major/minor. SWEET. What's even better is I can surpass one of them with a Math Placement exam. So next trip back to MN I'm picking up my old Math Studies ( Read more... )

That's terrific!

However, be a little wary of putting yourself on a time limit. A lot can change in a semester, and things won't always work out the way you want them to.

What you should do is have a plan for how many credits you NEED to pass per semester to graduate in that time, and leave some room to play around in - and also adjust your summers to how many credits you think you can manage during your summers to make it up if you end up having to drop some classes.

Don't take too many classes per semester that you absolutely cannot drop or switch - about half your course load should be graduate requirements, unless your required classes for your major considerably outweigh your electives and general education requirements. In that case, let's say you're taking six classes - four of them should be required classes for graduation. Also try to balance the difficulty of your classes - always take a couple that you know you will have an easy time with (things like lit courses or history).

I believe in you, and I think you can do it!

Sweetie, my gen eds are done. I have two classes left that I can take during the summer. :)

All my classes left are in my major and minor. I'm averaging 2 or 3 classes a semester.
