As title states, I’ve heard from advisors and other places that going under 15 really isn’t that great. I’ve had semesters in the past where I’ve taken 14 +3 research credits for 17 but since COVID there isn’t really research going on.
I’m realizing my classes are insane. I’m doing cell bio, genetics, physics, and lab, and a public health class, so it’s a lot of work. I’m thinking about dropping my class for my classics major (I have four semesters to do two more classes for it so I’m not worried) to better focus on physics and cell. Additionally, I’m studying for the MCAT and dropping will give me more time.
One thing to note: I took 15 creds my first semester, then 14 creds + 3 research every other semester (my college doesn't let you go over 17 without special consideration). I don't know if that has any bearing on anything.
What are your thoughts and experiences? Is GPA more important than # of credits taken? Because I think so and I want some validation on this decision.
