Is it alright if I take 12 credits (4 classes) per sem for my final year if it will suffice to finish my degree? Just want to make sure it wouldn’t get an A revoked

As long as you a. graduate b. don't fail any major courses and c. don't do anything really stupid (common examples: Academic dishonesty, posting something dumb on social media, or get charged with a crime i.e. DUI) you'll be okay.

No, you won't get an A revoked, chill.

I even dropped my chemistry minor because I didn't feel like taking quantitative analysis.
Thank you! Sorry I should’ve given a bit more background - I go to school in canafa, and for Canadian med schools they require 15 credits per sem with max 1 sem of 14 so I was wondering if it was the same in the US!

Ah.

In that case, you may need to go find a Canadian. It sounds like they have actual requirements for you to follow. American med schools don't care as long as you graduate.

Ignore my advice

I have 4 interviews right now, but the reason I ask is because add drop ends soon and I wanted to make sure this wouldn’t bite me in the butt a few months down the line!
Without any additional information, I concur with everyone else. On the medical school side (in the US), how heavy your last semester is won't matter. I'm guessing Canadian medical schools care if you finished your degree before matriculating (as I'm sure most schools would). Do whatever you must do to graduate and satisfy your university requirements.
