I'm in the mist of my 7th and 8th classes in the program. I'm attempting to finish this program in 5 sessions. What I've realized is that because of when I started (Fall AP2), I've forced myself down a much harder road than if I started during Fall AP1. The reason I say that is that my Spring AP1 and Summer AP1 have been MADM 701, ACCT 701, MKT 701, and FIN 701. I have no choice but to pair those up because they are AP1 classes. If I'd have started during Fall AP1, I would have attended 3 AP1 sessions and could spread those out.

I just wanted to put this out there so that it may help some poor soul not to do what I have done.

I did the same thing as you and started in Fall AP2 last year. I decided to go with 6 sessions and make it one full year.
- Fall AP2 - ECON 705, ISDS 705
- Spring AP1 - MADM 701, ACCT 701
- Spring AP2 - MADM 760
- Summer AP1 - ISDS710
- Summer AP2 - FIN 710, ISDS 702
- Fall AP1 - MKT 701, FIN 701

The timing works out much better when you start in AP1 based on the core course rotation. However, if you are too late for AP1, might as well start in AP2, you will finish at the same time as if you had started in AP1, but you will get 2 terms with a single class instead of having to double up every term. I had planned to take FIN701 in Summer AP1, but it was full and then have MKT 701 by itself at the end. No dice. After all of the writing in MADM 760, I had really hoped ISDS 710 would be a break from that, should have just crammed MKT 701 into this first summer session. However, on top of school, have 3 kids, new job, and into year 2 of a high conflict divorce. A guy can only take so much!
