I just had a few questions about my science GPA. I am taking 11 credits. I will be finishing my psych major and my bio minor. I am also taking basic human anatomy. I was taking anatomy to boost my science GPA and add a science course to my transcript. However, after doing some math, I figured that if I dropped anatomy, my science GPA would increase from 3.3 to 3.36 if I got all A's which would be pretty easy. However, if I kept anatomy, my science GPA could increase from 3.3 to 3.42 if I got all A's. So I am wondering if i should keep anatomy? I dont really need it. Is 3.42 going to look a lot better than 3.36? If I kept anatomy my semester would be a little harder so getting all A's would be a little more difficult but I could probably do it. I was just wondering what I should do.

I'd keep it. It's not just the GPA bump, 15 credit hours looks better than 11. On top of that, Anatomy is usually a recommended class. If you have the time/money and you think you can ace it, why not?
