Taking only 4 credits my last semester?

[bme94]

Hello,

I'm a senior and I plan on applying for this upcoming cycle. This is my last semester. I have completed all my graduation requirements. I plan on studying for a retake for the MCAT, and working a day or two a week as a medical scribe. Does it look bad to take 4 credits (which is technically 2 classes)? Thanks

Not in particular. Get high marks in your classes and beastmode the MCAT. If they insist on asking why you only took 4 credits, you'll explain that your requirements were fulfilled and you wanted to use that extra time to improve on other aspects of your profile, i.e. MCAT and clinical experience.
