So my program (M.Sc.) requires 36 credit hours to complete. I am taking 9 credits a semester (3 courses) for 4 semesters as opposed to 4 classes for 3 semesters because I was going to commit my extra time into research.
Now that i decided to become a pre-dent, Does taking 3 as opposed to 4 courses a semester of post-bacc matter to the admission committee? I will have completed 18/36 credits by the time i turn in my application. I am trying to use these courses to bring up my undergrad gpa of 3.1, so far i can say that i will get 4.0 5/6 of them.
I also noticed that some schools list their courses as 4 credit hours each? So doesn't it seem like i am doing very little if i am simply committing 9 credit hours a semester instead of 4x4 (16) or 3coursesx4hourseach (12 credits) credit hours a semester or do different schools do their credit hours differently?
thanks ahead of time.
