I already have a degree and it turns out everything except sciences are taken care of. So Im left with chem, ochem, phys and bio. Lectures are 3 credits labs are 1. Last semester i tried taking 3 of these with labs, but it was impossible. Ended up dropping one of them and its lab so I had 8 credits. The labs may be worth only 1 credit but they take more time a week than the 3 credit lectures. Labs where I go are nearly 4 hours once a week lectures are 1.25 hours a twice week.

It's not a problem as long as you're doing something else. Do you have a part-time job? If not, get one, so you can say you were being productive.

You could also add a non-lab class, like statistics (if you haven't already taken it) or bioethics or some other science-related elective. Three labs at once is hard, I don't blame you for dropping one.

Taking 3 science classes is pretty much the equivalent of 6 non-science classes due to some of the more labor intensive labs....so if you already had a degree and have shown that you can handle a full course load then you're fine IMO. It's smarter to take 2 science classes and get two A's then take 4 science classes and get 4 B's (or even a C or two).
