  1. I'm a long ways off from graduate school, but I'm majoring in sociology and am planning on minoring in sustainable food systems and maybe human nutrition. I made up a schedule of what courses I want to take each semester, and I found that I'll barely have enough upper level courses to graduate. (I think I'll end up with like 34 credits that are at or above the 300 level, and the minimum upper level credits to graduate is 30.) And just looking at my schedule, it looks easy. Would this severely hurt my chances of getting into graduate school? I am in the honors program, though. At my school, that doesn't mean that I'll be taking "honors math" or "honors history" - instead, it's a sequence of interdisciplinary humanity classes that get rid of the non-math/science general education requirements. I will end up writing a thesis in my senior year, so I figure that should help. I'm going to end up with so many low level credits because of earning 21 credits before officially starting college - they're all 100-200 level. To save money, I'm only taking 12 (or as close to 12 as I can get) credits per semester, so I don't have a whole lot of wiggle room to rack up "hard" classes outside of my major/minor requirements unless I want to take on more debt. If I want to get into graduate school, is taking a bunch of low-level classes not a big deal as long as I write a good thesis and get good grades, or should I take more "rigorous" classes just for the sake of rigor? Note: I think I may eventually want to go for a Phd, but I'm fine with getting a master's degree first.
