Graduate College a Semester Early?

[purplepassion25]

I am A Biological Science major and I can potentially graduate in December, which would give me Jan-March to prepare for the MCAT & shadow with no distractions and apply for med school (doing a gap year).

My only issue is I would have to take Orgo 1, Phys 2, Genetics, +1 upper level bio next semester, orgo 2 over the summer, and biochem with microbio in the fall (with 3 additional upper electives).

That leaves me with having to do 17 hours my last semester. My gpa is hanging on to a 3.5 as it is now and i go to a large D1 school

Is this do-able or should I just space it out and graduate in May?

Your GPA is slightly on the low side for MD. Spread out your classes and graduate a little later just to help hopefully raise that and give you a better peace of mind. 17 credits can be hard to take on and you don't want to damage your GPA in the process.
