Rosiglitazone Posted December 25, 2019 Report Share Posted December 25, 2019 UBC Med considers 10 courses/30 credits to be a full course load. I was wondering if having 29 credits in my second year will have a negative impact on my application? Should I be worried? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One semester of 29 is fine, don’t worry about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be worried about it negatively impacting your application by it seeming like you weren't taking a full course load. It could prevent you from being considered for adjusted GPA if you don't make up the units eventually though so keep that in mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought if you had over 90 credits they apply aGPA regardless of the number of credits you took in a particular year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as you have 90 credits or more remaining when your worst year is dropped. I just meant that if OP didn't somehow make up those units they wouldn't have 90 credits. Assuming they are applying in their 4th year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
