Do you think taking 15 credits of just sciences is too much/little/good amount?
I'm thinking of upping it to 18 bc i need to raise my science gpa. However i will also be studying for my DAT this term as well. So, i know i will need to work hard to achieve the grades i need, so would a 5th class be over kill? Obviously it varies per student as we all have diff work ethics, but what would u do?
 
Personally, extra semester of extra grades is better than graduating faster with lower grades. Learned that the hard way. I took 11 credits of science last semester, taking 7 this semester which I think is too little. Wish I took another science course looking back at my schedule.

Id say between 9-12 is a good amount, anything more starts to get much tougher and anything lower looks like not a large enough course load IMO
