I'm a current Senior, I'm applying this June and I will be graduating December 2015. Right now I have 32 credits left for my major + 6 credits to finish my minor. I'm taking 15 this spring along with MCAT studying. Over the summer I'm taking 5 credits, then next fall I'm either taking an easy 12 credits to finish my major or 18 harder credits to finish my major + minor. I don't think I want a difficult last semester since I should also be dealing with secondaries and interviews next fall. If I space out my credits and take 2 full semesters next year, I will become a part time student and lose my financial aid and I would only have a 2 month break between graduation and med school, both of which I do not want.
I just added my minor last summer, but does dropping it this late in my college career look bad to med schools? If it matters, my major is in sports medicine and my minor is in biomedical sciences, the two tracks also have very similar coursework.
