I was supposed to take environmental biology next semester because it's required for my major. However, because I need to take another class in order to graduate that conflicts with environmental, environmental was waived by my adviser.
I'm now down to 13 credits for next semester. I could just take 13 credits and have an easier semester, or I could take an additional online immunology class. The person who teaches it has relatively tough exams, so it would be a fair amount of additional work. I work full-time hours outside of school, so I would end up having a schedule similar to this semester if I took immunology, which means absolutely no free time throughout the entire semester.
My question is would it be better to take immunology (which is not a required course), or would it be better to just have an easier semester?
Context: I'm currently a senior in college, so next semester will be my last. I've already applied to medical school and have interviewed. This class will not be needed to boost my GPA nor will it show up on transcripts sent to medical schools I applied to. The only benefit of taking it would be to better prepare for medical school.
I'd appreciate any advice!
