Are there any downsides to take a lower division bio class the last quarter to boost BCP GPA?

[Kouneko]

I never thought about this before, but it just crossed my mind. It's just one class "Human Nutrition" that I can add to my last quarter and get an easy A without much studying. Up until now I've been taking hard courses like Cancer, Immunology, Medical Microbiology, etc. because I was interested in them. So one easy class last quarter wouldn't hurt right? Along with that I will also be taking Cell Biology, Medicinal Chemistry, Cancer Therapeutics/Diagnostics.

Thank you all!

Take whatever you can before you walk that stage because after that its game over. Learn from the lesson of others who wish they would have taken a little longer

Do you think the "lower division course" will full anyone?

It will get your foot in the door if they see someone with a higher sGPA versus someone who tried to impress schools with 18 hard credits / semester end up with a 3.4

If it weren't for those "filler" classes my BCP would have been below a 3.0

Shamelessly load up on general education science courses like nutrition, geology, astronomy, etc. to balance out those tough upper divs.

Nutrition won't affect your BCP, but will go towards sGPA.
