<p>I know that taking a heavier course load in high school, while maintaining good grades, is looked upon favorably by college admission committees. Does the same hold true in college? I know that the normal course load at Princeton is 4 courses, but would graduate school admission committees look A LOT more favorably on someone who took 5 or 6 courses per term, assuming all other things are equal (ie. same grades, same extracurriculars, etc. as someone with the normal 4 courses per term)?</p>
<p>Great question. I'd like to find out myself.</p>
