<p>I don’t know much about what classes you should and should not take in terms of what medical schools are looking for for. However, if you’re worried about the amount of credits, 14 credits is an average load. The only pro to having a full course load of 17-18 credits is that you free up a lot of time in your future schedule (which is nice because your future classes tend to become more difficult and its nice to have more time to focus on them).</p>
