I'm currently a senior physiology major with a 3.9 at a UC school. I took both summer sessions this past summer while doing a medical internship and research. Got a 4.0 both sessions. Im considering only taking 1 upper div science course this quarter because I sort of wanted a break from the jam packed summer.

I will be taking 2-3 upper divs in the winter and in spring so that I can graduate by spring 2016. Will this look bad?

Yes. You will be auto-rejected if you have even one semester with less than 18 units. Don't forget that while you are taking a break, some other pre-med is taking 20 units, doing cancer research, feeding orphans, and working full time.

Whatever man, you're just jealous of all my likes.

I don't know what's more cliche on SDN, the sarcastic responses or the people who hate the sarcasm and get pissed :rofl:
 
Alright I'll chill out lmao. Sorry it's just I'm worried they might look at my schedule and think it's too "light"

They don't look at your schedule in the detail that pre-meds think.

That might look at some general trends and what not, but they aren't breaking down every semester in that way.
