do dental schools care if you are not taking a full 13 unit load your last semester before graduating and entering dental school? I am contemplating dropping down to 7.5 units for my last semester. Do you think dental school's adcoms will care?

As long as you graduate like you said you will, you should be coool!
However if you said that you will take something like anatomy/histo/biochem, in your aadsas application that very well might become an issue! call the school to find out, more often than not they don't care.

They might question you for that, cuz D-school work load is way beyond 20 units of coursework for each semester. This might pose a concern to them whether you're able to handle well under heavy stress.

I have an acceptance letter that says . . .it is being made on the condition that you continue to perform at a level commensurate with your record which we now have on file in our office, complete all required hours and courses, and earn your degree as planned.
