Hey, so I am a junior pre med student, and I was a spring admit so I only ended up starting my science classes in my second year, the thing is I have only completed the the bio and inorganic chem series(4 classes) but my first year of science classes, i had so much going on that I didnt study properly which i regret, and ended up with a C,C+, and C+. my science gpa overall though is in the 2.0's which I know is really bad. The reason I am posting this is i have to choose classes for next semester, i am going to take physics. But i was considering on taking it along with physiology becuase i need more science classes to boost up my science gpa and it is recommended for the mcats as well as for med schools, the thing is its a tough tough class and since my science gpa is not so good i was thinking it may not be a benefit but actually work against me if i dont do well. Would it be a good idea to do easy bio/chem classes that are not required for pre med or my major just to boost up my science gpa instead? like a bio 102 for non science majors yet its a bio class so im sure itll count towards my science gpa. or would you recommend to stick to the physio and work it out that way? btw those grades i got were due to a wrong way of studying and a lot of other things which i fixed this semester and my gpa is a bit higher(still in the high 2's though) my non science gpa is good.
thanks!

This has been covered multiple times on this forum, but your grades matter much more than how hard your classes were. If you don't think you can handle physiology, then don't take it. Especially in your situation, you can't afford to get any more poor grades in the sciences.
