Hi all,

I am a 3rd year student planning to apply to U of A for Sept 2018 and I have consistently been taking a full course load (five 3-credit courses per semester). However, this year, I am looking to take a different combination of courses.

Over the entire year, I will be taking eight 3-credit courses adding up to 24 credits PLUS
- experiential learning class (1.5 credits per semester, adding up to 3 credits)
- choral ensemble (1 credit per semester, adding up to 2 credits)
- music lessons (0.5 credit per semester, adding up to 1 credit)
to fill up my full 30-credit course load.

Will filling up my credits in this way affect my chances of getting into dental school?

Thanks so much.
