I got this crippling attitude about always maxing out my credit hours since I want to make the most of my tuition (19 is the max here; anything after that they will charge you $200 / credit hour). First quarter I took 19, second I took 18, and now I have 20. I'm not doing too hot grade-wise, 2.9 GPA cumulative. But that's in engineering so it's decent GPA, but not good enough for med school where I'll be competing against people with 3.8s majoring in Bio. And people have been telling me I'm taking too many credit hours, but that's what my engineering curriculum demands (actually, it's 17, 18, and 17). And I'm worried if I take less, med school admission officers might think I'm not taking as demanding a course load as other people. But I don't know what other people are taking.
So I would like to get an idea of how many credit hours everyone else is taking for this year, and please include your major.
