[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Which schools allow freshman to take 5 classes Fall semester. That seems very unusual. Can your kid drop one? There is no prize for taking the heaviest course load as a freshman. This isn't a public high school. Seriously. There isn't. The prize is a bad GPA.[/quote] Is that a thing? My daughter is a theater production manager at Fordham and had 5 classes (18 credits) plus a non-credit bearing practicum that she has to do 40 hours a semester (for 5 semesters). She pulled a 3.85 her fall semester. Spring she had the same course load and gpa was more around a 3.4. This semester, again with the 5 classes and 18 credits. (The theater classes often are 4 credits because of the amount of outside class work required.). She says it is normal there so that she can go abroad one semester and work internships her senior year. [/quote]
