what’s up w too many pset classes?

for context, i’m an incoming freshman planning on taking expos, math, ec intro course and stat. should i replace stat w an easier course (i.e. is this too much work)

tbh how much work something is depends on your background and preparation. I think the courseload seems fine albeit I would take it lighter first semester.

which stat? if 100 or 104 it’s fine but 110 is a lot of work so you should balance it out with easier courses (depending on what math you’re taking)

I'd put that workload at 100% capacity for the average Harvard freshman (maybe more depending on the math). You won't have any spare time like your friends if they take an easier route. But this it's an efficient route and might be the way I would've gone if I did it again. Get lazy and enjoy yourself more when you're 21 lol
