Partial Course Load and Medical School
Hello,
Since I took 2 second year courses in summer school, I was wondering if I plan to apply to medical school to attend after my third year than would it be possible to take a partial course load during my second year?
Thank you

With less than a full courseload, you would be at a disadvantage - some med schools (i.e. Western) only count the GPA of your two best 'full course load' years. Others, like UofT, only drop your lowest courses from their marking scheme if you took a full course load every semester.
