3 classes per quarter=bad? Forum

[joetheplumber]

Hi, I've been taking 3 classes per quarter which is the minimum I can take per quarter. Ppl usually like 4 classes(16 units) and 19 is max. So does having only 3 classes per quarter on the transcript for the whole 4 years look really bad to law school admissions?

They won't care.

3 classes per quarter seems normal -- that way you still end up with 9 classes/year, which seems to be average for people at semester schools, no?

In quarter systems I have encountered, 15 units per quarter is considered on track to graduate in 4 years (180 units after 4 years). Since most classes, at least in the humanities, are 4 units, 4 classes is the norm.

because I came in with AP credits, I didn't need to take 4 classes every quarter. So I just took 3 lol

Ah. At my quarter-system school, 3 classes per term was normal. We also did 1 class = 1 credit, so I'm not too familiar with credit or unit systems.
