<p>Will taking anly 13 credits this semester make me look like I am "taking the semester off" when I apply to NYU? I would still have 5 other courses on my schedule, it's just that two of them are 2 credits instead of the usual three.</p>
<p>Just wanted to know if anyone had any thoughts on this.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>I only have thirteen credits too this semester, not by choice though, all classes were filled - I believe if you have the minimum credit requirement to be considered a fulltime student, then it doesn't look as if you're just slacking. </p>
<p>It would look a lot a worse if you had 17 credits, and then dropped a class or two in the middle of the semester and got 13.</p>
