I just want to see how many hours everyone is working along with their couse load.
19 credit hours/ 10-20 work hours a week.

Do you think dental schools will take this into consideration?

What about the annoying roommate that kept you from sleeping all last year? I think they'd just see you as a complainer. Usually it's the rich kids that get by, b/c they don't need to work, and their parents pay for their luxurious singles and Kaplan classes. Admissions won't know that.

I'm done but when I was in school I took anywhere from 9-15 units while working 40 hours a week.

I always work 40 hours...school has to fit with work. Because of this, I am only taking 11 hours this semester.

On AADSAS, you were supposed to list work experience, no? Maybe they see it there!

I'm guessing he can't list his work hours because he was paid under the table.

I work 40/week and take 2 night classes at a time. I'm getting tired.

I feel your pain bro...but I still don't understand why he can't say he worked even if he was paid under the table. It's dental school, not the IRS????

I worked 50-60 hours a week during my first two years of college...and it shows

Oh yeah, full course loads of 13-18 credits during of course

In the fall, I always worked about 30 hours/week with 15-17 credits. I played softball, so my spring was a little different; same credit load, but in Jan and Feb we had practice so I worked 20 hours, then in March and April (when we had games) I could only work 10-15 hours.

Now, I have gone back to complete pre-reqs while working full-time. I use my vacation time for classes. Not fun, but necessary.

I definitely think that schools will take this into consideration. If you can do well in school while working, it shows good time management. Also, you gain a lot of beneficial skills in the workforce.
