Hi !

I am a senior now and luckily I have many interviews nowadays.
So I have to miss many classes and worry about maintaining high GPA.
If I take less and easy classes this semester compared to what I took so far
does it look bad in final decisions of medical schools ?

Thanks

no
 
They won't know what you're taking unless you tell them. A final transcript is sent only to the school you decide to attend, to prove you graduated, that you manintained a decent GPA, and/or that you completed all the requirements.

A way that an easy year might bite you would be if you end up reapplying.

I think it's pretty expected that seniors will take few and easy classes if at all possible.
 
as long as the course isn't titled "intro to basket weaving 101," you can get away with taking classes that are notoriously easy among your classmates but have a respectable name.

What's considered decent? Would something like 3.5-3.7 in the final year be acceptable?
