<p>what if a school has like sample 4-yr plans for your major, and they have like 3-course quarters/semesters (which i think would be minimum for full-time)? should someone just take some "fluff" courses?</p>
<p>Don't necessarily take fluff courses (courses that are easy A's where you won't learn anything or have to do anything), but add a course or two that you know you can get an A in with a moderate amount of work. I would suggest sticking to 4 courses a semester, maybe 5 if they are relatively easy.</p>

<p>They can see through that. So its not likely to make any difference.</p>

<p>There has to be general ed requirements or something. Most students only devote 1/2-3/4 of their credits to their majors and the others to gen ed requirements and other courses. So, even if your major only demands 3 courses/quarter, you should be taking 1-2 other courses on top of that.</p>
