Course load in 4th year
Some grad schools require that 60% of your courses must be from the year you are in, right? Does this apply to fourth year too like 6/10 should be level 4 courses? or could 6/10 courses comprise of year 3 and 4?

When I looked up grad schools, most, if not all, said that 6/10 need to be level III or IV in 4th year, so not all 6 need to be level IV courses. But I would check with the specific school(s) you're interested in just to make sure.

I don't think so, but it might depend on your program. For example, when I was in 4th year Political Science, we were only allowed to take two fourth year Pol Sci classes. Everything else had to be from other years.

What program are you in? You can check the "Programs" section of the undergrad calendar and see how many fourth year courses you're allowed to take.
