Reduced Course Load?

I was wondering how do the admission committee look at candidates who are taking a reduced course load for undergrad (then making up for it with summer school) so they would have more time to do research in mathematical finance? Is course load in general a factor for MFE admissions or do they focus more on which courses you have taken?

It's more about what you can do as opposed to how quickly you crammed in coursework. That said, a good MFE is fairly intense, so one has to consider whether one would be able to handle it.
 
I could take the regular load but then I wouldn't have time to do research so which is the better choice?
