Hi all,

I'm planning taking:
Organic Chem (4hr) + Lab (2hr)
Anatomy & Physiology (4hr) + Lab (0hr)
And some fun class to make it 12hrs total (full time)

"Assuming" I'll do well in these two science courses.... Do you guys think the course load is too "light"?

Thanks all!!!

The only numbers that you should worry about during this whole process are your GPA, DAT score, and shadowing hours.

Ochem=6
A&P=4
so one other class equals two credits....I would take more than 3 courses

Thank DoeAdeer! Good GPA and a light load does not look very impressive, I know 🙂. But then again, I dont want to kill myself over a heavy load. Walking a fine line and trying to have a balanced life 🙂

No that course load is fine.

I would take a heavier load if your schedule permits it. Dental schools like to see you can hack it

Light load with 4.0 gpa is better than a super heavy load with a 3.5 gpa... just make sure to have some extra curriculars or job experience in case they ask you what else you did with your time. but you should be fine
