I am trying to figure out my masters schedule and this is what I have right now.
Virology
Advanced Biochem 1
Psychology (drug and behavior)
Gender Studies (Sociology class)

I’m trying to raise my low GPA(3.1) for my masters And I’m scared this schedule is too easy but I can’t get any more bio classes to fit into my schedule

For MD schools your graduate degree will not be counted with your uGPA. There will be two,separate degrees listed. So your grad courses will not help your uGPA. For DO I think they do calculate the courses together but check on that.

Dump the gender studies and take something in the sciences. Have you taken stats? If not, is that doable? How about something else in a Chemistry field?

I have already taken stats and I’m short on the pre recs for a lot of the masters chem classes I’ll keep trying to fit another science class in there
