weird thing was all the times i took around 18 and above i got av. 3.5gpa...the times when i took a min 12creds i got like 2.6gpa.

Yea, we have a limit of 20.5 units. I see all teh quarter people running around with crap worth discussions, but math is a 6hrs/week thing.. 3 hrs lecture, 3 hrs discussion, and chem is 7 hrs (3 hr lecture + 4 hr lab)... so I don't see how you can cram 5 of these classes together.

8 classes for 16 credits wow... I'm taking 4 classes this fall and they equal 15 credits and two classes are only half of the semester each.

seems like it'll be easy.. wait until it's 16 units of core engineering courses... but that load seems easy.. 16 units is about standard.. a majority of classes i've taken are 3 units, so 5 of those are going to be 15 units.. standard load is 15-17 units.. and that's easily doable.. good luck

yea but with any berkeley class.... even econ 1, lower division comp sci, lower div ee... lol its all hard. im getting this from like SUPER NERD ppl i know who study all day long and get 4.0s still and tell me they pull massive hrs.

16 is nothing.

16 is definitely very doable. Try 19 credits of EE classes for 2 semesters back-to-back (Fall/Spring)
Granted, I don't remember much of my life that year
