take a bunch of random classes like history and humanity, to boost your overall GPA?
Do you even lift?
Come at me bro
It's a very good idea to boost your GPA. Adcoms read so many applications so GPA trumps courseload and UG institution. But remember on your AMCAS application your GPA is broken down into overall, BCPM, and non-BCPM so acing American History isn't going to make up for your C+ in O-chem (but acing a class like P-chem or biochem will since it's BCPM).
Thanks brah, would rep you on misc.
My GPA is currently a 3.6
Trying to get it higher, since there's so many damn competition to get accepted. (I really want to stay in uni)

in on secret rep trade
Please respond.
humanity is a great class.
Keep in mind that the school will have access to your complete transcript. They could easily look at the classes you took and likely see that you took a few freebies in an attempt to boost your GPA. They aren't *****s.
Good luck brah....I have almost the same GPA as you (*SoClose*) and only have 3 interview invites so far. Competition will only increase as long as the economy sucks so be sure maximize your GPA and MCAT at all costs.
yo flatearth where are your interviews at?
If they count towards your major go right ahead. If money is a issue don't take classes that will prolong your college career.
Oh yeah, now that you've met nadaba earlier, this is chronicidal, nadaba's counterpart for this cycle.and your mdapps:
I think a 3.6 fine as long as the other aspects of your application are strong, unless you are applying in California. I think you have a shot at interviews at some of your state schools.
I don't think taking a few random humanities courses is going to significantly improve your chances.
