So I have only 2 more classes to take before I graduate. I was planning to take them both next semester. However, they just made one of the classes a prereq for the other, which means I must take them separately: one winter semester and the final class spring semester. I asked if i could be an exception and take both together, seeing i am about to graduate, and they said no. I know med school admissions want to see students that always have consistently normal/heavy course loads. So....
Do I take a bunch of extra classes that don't mean anything to make it look like Im busy at school next semester, or do I simply take the one class I can take that actually counts towards my graduation to free up my time for more important stuff like mcat prep and strengthening my extra curriculars? Do you think the latter option would be acceptable to admissions as long as I explained my situation in my personal statement?
Thanks in advance!
