Hi,
I have a question:
1) How would admissions committees at MBA schools view an undergraduate semester where I took less than a part time course load?
There was one semester during my undergraduate studies where I took only one three-credit class, considered less than part time, due to mental-health related reasons. I bounced back quickly that same semester and was able to land and take on 2 internships. Does this make me a weak applicant?
If asked about it, could I spin the situation and say that I took a lighter course load in order to take on 2 internships that gave me real world experience?
What's your take?
Thank You!

Hey there,
I wouldn't worry about it. It's not even something that warrants an explanation in the essays. Usually the AdComs won't dig into such a close analysis of your courseload as a significant factor.
Best,
Jon

Hi there,
I agree with Jon above! This is not a significant factor in your undergraduate track record. Just focus on getting high grades in the classes you do take and graduating with a strong GPA. That will be much more important in an MBA application. Best of luck to you!
Kindly,
Melody
