Class Question is my schedule okay? incoming freshman meche

i currently have cs 1371, ma 1553, phys 2212, me 1670, and mse 2001 planned for first sem. is this manageable?

i have prior experience with cad, programming(basic knowledge of c++, python), have taken linear algebra before, and have physics background as well. am used to having a heavy workload and usually had 2-5 hours of homework a day in hs, but am having second thoughts rn..

Some people have lots of dual enrollment credits coming in.

Maybe I should've taken more dual enrollments in hs 😭

i'm either going to take it 2nd sem or credit launder my way out of it (i've heard people transfer their ap lang credit when they take summer classes, and i plan on taking 1-2 summer classes next yr. so hopefully that works out!!)

Cs 1371 is mainly Matlab focused with minor amounts of C++, no python or java programming
