Hey y'all, I am about to enter my last semester of college (graduating a semester early), and was planning on taking 13-14 credits. However, a friend told me that I need to take 15 or dental schools will frown on me. I have taken 15-18 every semester prior, should I continue to take 15+ or is 14 "permitted" for me to take this semester? Thanks!

Anything that is “full time” is usually fine. They probably would prefer 14 or above, but I took only 8 credits one sememster and nobody said anything to me. I also took 23 credits my last semester and still nobody said anything about that to me. They are looking for trends, not the one semester you didn’t take over 15 credits, especially if you are graduating early. Obviously that means you aren’t exactly slacking.
