Schedule winter semester schedule (business- ACC/IS)

if reddit could stop removing my posts that'd be awesome
I know a lot of these end up getting posted so I'll delete it once I get some advice, but I'm currently working on setting up my schedule for next semester. Currently have IS 303, ACC 310, CS 110, SPAN 321, REL C 200, and I'm going to do a SWELL class, not sure which one yet. 15 credits total - I'm at 16.5 right now and surviving. I do work, usually somewhere between 13-18 hours a week on campus.

Right now I'm in ACC 200 and IS 201, both are super enjoyable to me - 100% on both first exams we just had so I know I can probably handle the two subjects at the same time. However, I also know IS 303 is a coding-based class and ACC 310 is pretty much the make or break class for those who want in the accounting program. I signed up for CS 110 as well because I wanted to take it (stats minor), but I'm also hoping it'll help with 303. I'm in SPAN 206 right now and struggling a bit because I am not an RM, and just got out of high school. I'm hoping to pull it together but I know SPAN 321 will be a harder class for me than it will for most.

For those who have taken these classes, what does the homework load look like usually? And just general balancing. I'm hoping for ACC with abigal allen and IS with jacob steffen. Religion with Brian Mead. Also, I like knowing when exams will land pretty early on, so if anybody has experience with those classes winter semester, I'd love to know the usual timeframe for how long the exams are open for (in terms of days) and usually when they tend to fall.

Planning to apply for the IS and ACC programs at the end of winter semester and defer until junior year if I get in. I'll have the prereqs for both, just need to get As. IS is what I enjoy more but ACC seems more stable so I'll figure that out once I know if I get in or not.

When in doubt, take less credits. I’m taking ACC and IS 201. Do you study with other people?

IS Jr. here! You don't need to take both CS 110 and IS 303 (you will cover all of the same stuff in 303 plus get into Object Oriented Programming). Take 303 from Steffen, he is the GOAT! (I am also a 303 TA and it was my fav class I have taken here at BYU!)

I'm also a stats minor and 303 will fulfill the programming req, you will that 110 is going very slow by the time you get to the first exam in 303.
