Hi guys
I'm writing this because I really need your advice for my 2008-2009 course schedule...
well, first of all, the following are the course loads that I have taken so far.
(each course is worth 3 credits)
1st yr: 1st term: 4 courses + 2nd term: 3 courses (total: 21credits with one withdrawal)
2nd yr: 4 + 3 (21 credits with one withdrawal)
3rd yr: 4 + 4 (I have straight As in this year, two of them are A+) (24credits)
4th yr: 4 + 6 (31 credits)
Total GPA: 83~84%
So now I only need 6 more credits to graduate. But I'm afraid that the admission committee would think that I'm not capable of handling rigorous dental school curriculum because I have only one year (my 4th year) of 30 credits.
So I have two options now.
1. I may take 30 credits the upcoming year but I will end up wasting my money on the courses that I don't really need. And there is also a risk of lowering my GPA because I can't find any more easy courses to boost my GPA. And I won't have enough time to study DAT.
2. I may just take 6 more credits( 2 more courses), and use the rest of my time and energy to study DAT.
If you were me, what would you do? I'm really desperate right now..Honestly I don't know what to do anymore.
Thanks guys
