Does anyone have any idea about how many undergrad courses per semester it takes to meet full course load requirement for most dental school entry?
Thanks!

Seems like most schools it's around 22 credits a semester, but it's not like you can part time dental school. You take all the same classes with your classmates all four years. You don't need to worry about being full time or not.

Thanks for the response but I meant undegrad courses before dental school, not dental school itself!

Course load doesn't matter much. I took 12 credits for 3-4 semesters and 1-2 semesters worth of 4-8 credits still got in just fine

What matters more is your grades.

I averaged 13-14 credits per semester.

I agree that course load doesn't matter too much. I took 15-18 units per semester just so I could finish in four years, but your grades matter far more than course load. Don't do more than you think you can do well in.
