Key Questions to Answer
How does equivalency of MC/ credit exchange work?
Example
For Peking University, 15 credits= 20 MC so therefore if you read 17 credits= 23 MCs.
You can read more credits if you want, you get to bring back more MCs.
If you read less, you will also bring back less MC – no ifs and buts about this rule. If you end up with 1 MC less and you need to graduate, then you will need to do special term or another semester for 1 MC to graduate.

Reality Check Here
