Three/Four Labs?

Just wondering how everyone feels about taking three of four labs in one semester? I am leaning towards three, as I will be completing MCAT prep and working in research ~ 20 hrs/week. Schedule would be:

Physics II + Lab
Genetics and Molecular Biology + Lab
Biochemistry + Lab
Arts/Humanities Elective
Music Elective


Did anyone run into any kind of problems/concerns taking three labs, I know it won't be too bad, just wondering if there any any possible issues I am not for-seeing.

I'm doing four next semester. I'll drop one if I have to.

I don't know how it is at your school but physics labs are pretty easy for me.
I've heard biochem labs are a beast, though. Just do it anyway, you can always take the lab the following semester if you have it.

Labs take a considerable amount of time. There might be a lot of work to be put in (ie., reports, practicals, exams). I once took a semester with 7 credits of labs and I liked how it worked out. If you don't mind spending 10 hours a week just doing experiments and then having post lab work, you will be fine.

A voice of experience: I would never, ever do that again. It was misery. More power to you, though

I agree. More than 2 labs is sick.
