I'm trying to come up with a plan of classes and stuff to graduate on time and well I have two options. I came into college with 17 credits so that helps me out in taking less classes or graduating early.
1) Take an interim class for 3-4 semesters (in between fall/spring semesters and right after spring semester), they are 3 week classes but you get the full credit but 3 hours a day 5 times a week for 3 weeks would sucks. Plus I would have to go up to 15 credits for the actual semester(not including the interim). I would have a heavier course load, some semesters with 15-16 credits while taking 3 science classes but would graduate in 3.5 years with about 8 months off before starting dental school if I get in.
2) Graduate in 4 years, take 4 semesters with just 12 credits, two semesters with 13 credits, one semester with 14. So I would obviously have a lot of semesters with not as many credits even though some of the semesters include 3 science classes. But my concern about this, is would dental schools view this as bad because I am not taking heavy course load semesters, like they're not even 15 credits.
