Guest M20012002 Posted May 5, 2001 Report Share Posted May 5, 2001 I'm considering taking a fifth year for my undergrad because there are several courses I wanted to take but didn't have any space for. Does the admission committee look down upon this? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ian Wong Posted May 9, 2001 Report Share Posted May 9, 2001 Best course of action would be to ask them. As long as you weren't chronically taking a lighter workload throughout the four years of undergrad, you should be fine. I believe there are a number of med schools that check to see if students are taking a regular courseload each year, and take that into account. If you haven't been attending class full-time, the med school may start to think that you can't handle the time pressures of a med school curriculum. If you haven't there should be a good reason why (eg. sickness, jobs, taking care of dependants), rather than "well, I wanted to do well in my pre-reqs, so I'm only taking 3 courses a year..."
