So I am planning to study for mcat during spring and would like to keep my schedule light. I was wondering if taking only 9 credits would be looked down upon even with mcat prep. This is also my last semester of college.

microbio lab 1 credit
Theory and practices in biological science 2 credits
communication studies class for my minor 3 credits
virology or principles of nematology (haven't decided which one to take yet) 3 credits

total 9 credits

thanks!

Is your UG ok with it? Why not add in an easy social science/history course and raise it to 12?

oh oops looks like the minimum for full time is 12. I guess I'll just find one more easy class. but would suddenly taking 12 credits be ok? I have always taken 15 or 16 credits every semester so I am just wondering.

12 is fine

Taking 12 credits of easy coursework while studying for the MCAT is perfect.

Schools won't be concerned at all. No worries.

Take 12 credits so you can keep your financial aid package. Schools won't care about your decrease in credits during your last semester.

What if I take a 1000 level communication studies course? would that look bad? Would I be seen as slacking off?
