Do you have to take all science classes?

I dont have very many 100 level classes, and I need about 20 credits for a 3.11 so I was thinking 10 credits 100 level courses, and 10 credits upper level bio?

Any advice/suggestions?

Thanks in advance

No, you don't have to take all science classes, but ideally, you would want to make the majority of your classes UPPER-DIVISION undergrad science classes because doing well in them will raise your cumulative and bcpm gpa. Most of the time, people doing postbac want to raise both, especially their bcpm. Make sure the science classes are upper division and count towards your science gpa. I've heard advisors telling students to take classes in a science they don't have much background in (i.e. taking more microbio if you weren't a microbio major) to show that you can do well in more than one science...but I just found classes that fit my schedule. Whatever you do, make sure you can handle the load. It doesn't make any sense to have 4-5 science classes if you do mediocre in all of them when you can take 3 and do outstanding. Hope this helps.
