Undergrad Workload Forum

[phill55]

I have a question on workload during undergrad. I currently have a 3.815 gpa and am a first semester sophomore. I am double majoring and I have two more semesters in which I can take 12 credit hours instead of 15. I haven't technically taken any 15 or more credit hour semesters since starting undergrad. First semester I ended up dropping a course (13), second semester I took a fifth course online(13), and this semester I am only taking four classes (12). My concern is that law schools will think that I didn't have large enough workload freshman-junior year. I was planning on doing another 12 credit hour semester, a 14 credit hour semester, and a 15 credit hour semester. Does the credit hour ammount matter? Or will they see my good grades and double major and not care? Thanks!

they won't care just earn as high of a gpa as you can

you gotta be careful about the size of the load you're willing to take. If it's too big, you may get overwhelmed and drown, causing your gpa to suffer. But if it's not big enough, some people may doubt your commitment/enthusiasm. Will it matter to law schools? No. Will it matter to your bf? Probably.
