i think for this semester my coursework is too light

i have

BIO
Psych
World religions
Issues in sports


i had to drop orgo 2 b/c i made stupid mistakes on the first exam and no chance of getting an A b/c the final grade is avg. of 4 exams, i can get a B but that would hurt my gpa and i could've had a chance for an A had i not made bonehead mistakes


so next semester i plan on taking

Orgo 2 w/ lab
Microbio w/lab
Bio 2 w/ lab
maybe a Elective thrown in


Is that fair or did i make a mistake by making my coursework for this semester too light or do the admission committee not care as long as I get my pre reqs done and get good gpa?
 
yeh thats 1 low semester. Your chances of ever being accepted are shot down the drain. The only way to be a competitive dental school applicant is by going 100% full-throttle with 18-20 credits per term (minimum of 3 sciences at once) and you start this early in freshman year

*laying sarcasm pretty heavy here*, your fine dude, I always advice people to load up their semester to the maximum that they can handle (handle = maintaining that 3.5GPA or higher).
