[Kiara08]

will med schools look down on only taking 13 credits my last semester of college if i've averaged around 17 credits every other semester?

I doubt they would..

I averaged 16 and am only taking 12. They don't care.

I'm at 9 hours and one of those is a Freshman level Comm class. Who cares? More classes would just cost me more money.

I'm at 13 as a senior, but I was never below 18 for the rest of college. I can't imagine that it matters.

I'm taking way too many really hard classes (19 credits) right now as a graduating senior...stupid mistake.

I took only 6 credits each semester during my senior year and nobody cared. Just so long as you are doing something with your free time you can talk about in your secondaries/interviews: job, research, volunteering...

I plan on taking 12 hours, with most of them being easy filler classes.

I only took 12 hours spring my senior year and pass/failed 4 of them (which means they don't get factored into GPA). Of course, when I bombed (I mean BOMBED) one test, it dropped one of my grades to a C. So when you get a C in one of only two classes in a semester, it results in a pretty sh*tty GPA. So just keep in mind the lack of buffer if you get a less than satisfactory grade.
