This is my first year at a university and I am majoring in Biochemistry. I just got my grades back from last semester.

Biochemistry: C+
Appreciation of Biological Sciences: C+
English: B+
Computer: B+

I have already taken many courses while I was in community college. I completed around 40 or 50 credits there with around a 3.8 GPA, and I transferred 31 credits over to my university which leaves me 59 more credits to graduate. Because of this, I will be able to graduate after my third year.
Should I take more than enough credits to improve my GPA?
Are there any other suggestions to raise my GPA?

Are you sure you only need 59 more credits to graduate? Most places have a 120 credit hour minimum requirement including transferred credits. So, if your new university recognized and gave 31 credits for the 40 or so credits you had done then you'd need another 89 credits at that institute to fulfill the 120 hour requirement.

59 credits after the last semester, and I am studying in a foreign university with a three year program for undergrad.

I have to ask, what is "appreciation of biological sciences"?

How can you be a doctor if you don't appreciate the biological sciences?

To raise your GPA, take as many easy classes as you can fit in your schedule. Find out what classes the athletes take. Take those.

You must be an athlete to take the classes that athletes take.

I don't think so...

Inability to take "Rocks for Jocks" may be true in some universities with big athletic department, de facto.

NCAA Athletes have first dibs on any classes during registrations and such notoriously easy classes may be filled, maybe even overfilled, thus denying, our op, anesthetic from taking the class.

It's funny cuz it's true. Although technically I'm an athlete.
