Undergraduate Hours

[lord_codfish]

Does anybody have any clue what "undergraduate hours" means? How does this relate to credits, classes completed, etc.? How many would somebody have who took the standard four classes per semester?

Danke sehr!

4 credits per class per semester, IIRC.

This is how my classes were entered on my med school application, regardless of actual amount of class time for each.

At MIT, most classes are 12 credits, so if you want a really high incompatible number instead of a really low incompatible number, I'd say that's the one to go for. It has the added bonus of being divisible by both the number if each class counts for 3 and the number if each class counts for 4, so when people are confused you can have a handy explanation that will confuse them further.
