<p>How much does course level matter in undergrad for the courses you do not intend to use after undergrad or after school in general? </p>
<p>Is there evidence that taking higher level courses in undergrad matters in graduate school admission?</p>
<p>Generally speaking, it won’t matter that much unless a course is specifically useful for a position or grad school admissions and is highlighted on your resume. Otherwise, according to a DCT of a highly selective school (Director of Clinical Training – the person in Clinical Psych admissions to chairs the selection committee). no one ever really looks that closely at your transcripts. They generally look at it broadly in terms of GPA and, perhaps, for the individual courses they require for admission. Beyond that, there just isn’t time to get to know a student’s transcript so well (statements of purpose, GRE scores, etc. matter far more)</p>
<p>I think in the end course content matters more, since it is that exposure that makes you more well rounded and educated in the end. By the way, you will find out that your intentions and courses that pay off may not match. Things I thought were critical, ended up never being used others, I thought were useless were critical. You never know.</p>
<p>not at all! don’t stress! college is a time where you can take classes that you’re actually interested in!</p>
