Coure load

[paper]

Do dental schools consider course load? It is not explicitly said on school websites, and I assume it is different for every school. I was considering taking an extra year in my undergraduate degree but after hearing that course load is considered by dental schools, I am not sure if I should do so. Regardless of whether course load is considered or not, is it recommended to take at least 5 courses per semester? If you guys think so, why? I am curious about this and would really appreciate if someone could give some information.

I'm not sure if this helps, but I took a 5th year to finish my degree with an Honours thesis. In my last year I only took 3 courses. I got in and I'm graduating this year! I think if your grades are good and your DAT scores are good+ good references, you should be ok. Good luck!
