Classes to take in final semester before med school?

Looking for a bit of advice here on which courses to take during my last semester.

I'm headed to med school semester after next (different timeline as I'm not American 🙂). I have completed the prerequisite subjects with a few extras: biochem 1, microbio 1, anatomy 1, physiology 1, and molecular biology. I have absolutely no interest in advancing further in the field of my ugrad studies (chemistry), so I can basically pick 2-3 courses from the entire course catalogue, provided they are not introductory.

Considering this information, which courses would you recommend I take? My options are to take courses that will make my first year in med school easier/less time consuming (e.g. phys 2, genetics, microbio 2) or to take the slacker courses such as literature and sociology (we don't have compulsory gen eds). I think the later would give me a lot of time to enjoy my last few months of freedom for a long time. Also, GPA isn't a problem, I just have to pass, which is easier said than done considering my motivation levels at the moment 😳.

Thanks

Take classes that interest you. I'm going to take neural computation and molecular pharmacology.

I highly recommend wine tasting and horseback riding. One of my friends took a beekeeping class.

Realistically take a light load with courses that sound interesting. Relax and have fun.
