Would taking minimum amounts of credits for final semester raise an eyebrow?

Hello,

Just wanted to get some opinions on this as I'm registering soon. Right now, I'm lined up to take about 10 credits (still full-time), compared to the ~15/semester my last 3.5 years. I thought it would be good to spend the extra time for people, prepping for apps, volunteering, working, and my other EC responsibilities, instead of adding on 1 or 2 more classes.

Originally I was gonna load it to bring my cGPA to a 3.7, but I've been on an upward trend since freshman year so I'm hoping med schools focus on that more instead of cumulative.

The 10 credits will likely consist of music, anthro, psych, and bio lab

Thanks!
 
Should be fine as long as you do well in those classes and aren't slacking in extracurriculars. I took 9 hours my final semester and it was awesome.
