I have quite of few easy "gpa booster" classes in my schedule. How bad does this look for my application? My cGPA is at 3.63 right now and sGPA at 3.5, but I have taken 8-10 units of "guaranteed A".

I took a military science class last quarter and am planning to take another one next quarter. They are classes devoted to leadership development and its personally just a lot of fun and we hear cool stories. Everyone gets an A and there are no tests. Would it be okay to continue taking these kinds of courses? I can definitely explain that I thoroughly enjoy this chill and different class, but someone looking at just my stat might think I'm trying to play the system.

My schedule for the fall is something like:
1. Organic Chem lab 2 (hard class)
2. Psychology statistics (easy, major)
3. Intro psych (easy, major class)
4. Military science (guaranteed A).

Is this okay? Or should I try to take a little bit more rigorous of a schedule while trying to add in science classes to raise my sGPA?

How do classes like dance or music look if I take them for multiple quarters? Not a big deal?

As I understand it, taking classes like these can be fairly beneficial in that it creates the sense of the well rounded individual that med schools are looking for.
