Underload Semester

Hey all,

So i recently found out I was accepted. And in my Senior year I had always determined to basically get a semi-underload so I'd have time to study for the GRE, raise a little more money working, and be more involved with the presidential transition in my club. So this semester I am taking 10 credit hours (one of them being a "skills" one-hour research course which is essentially a lab with all of the non-class time research and work we have to do). The acceptance is really only based on "satifactory completion of all undergraduate coursework" which I will do with only 2 hours needed to fulfill graduation requirements. Just curious if this has an implications in the acceptance department?

TL/DR: I only need 2 hours to graduate undergrad, but am taking 10 as an "underload" (since 12 is normal). Any rescind implications?

Should be fine...based on what I know....

Just make sure to pass everything...👍

Do you really think a school will revoke an acceptance because you did not take enough credits? (I will give you a hint, the answer is no).

Unless you listed a lot of future classes on your AMCAS that you've now decided not to take, it's a non-issue. The issue is if you drop classes that you've said you are going to take. You CAN do it, but it's generally discouraged, and you should most definitely contact the school beforehand to make sure it won't affect your decision. Dropping or switching around one or two classes probably won't, but dropping several could potentially affect things (depending on the school). Just double-check to be safe.

And congratulations on the acceptance!
