<p>Med schools do NOT like seeing light-load semesters…unless it’s your last semester. They will think that you can’t handle a full load. They want to see that you can handle 15+ credits per semester because when you’re in med school info will be coming at you like a fire hose. </p>
<p>It’s one thing to have one light semester, but your schedule is light every semester. Bad idea.</p>
<p>As for graduating in 3 years, while that’s do-able credits-wise, med schools may likely feel that you’re too young to accept. When this question comes up on the premed forums, the advice is usually to go all four years, or at least 3 1/2. (the 7th semester would be fall of senior year when you’d be interviewing, and that can be a lightish semester.)</p>
<p>Your goal shouldn’t be “just enough” credits to graduate. Your goal should be to show med schools that you can handle full semesters. </p>
<p>Since you have a lot of credits by exam, you really need to show more classes with GRADES. All those AP or other exam credits won’t have GRADES. </p>
<p>So, figure out what other classes you can take. Add a minor or two if you like. If your major doesn’t require a minor (some do, some don’t), and you don’t want to do a minor, then just take other classes for interest. </p>
<p>And move your PChem to semesters when you’re not taking OChem classes.</p>
