So, I talked to a doctor yesterday and she suggested that I not take a heavy science load my senior year so that I can get a high GPA. My problem is that my GPA is low as a result of taking heavy science loads but I also feel like I did not study as well as I should.
My science GPA is 2.57 and cGPA is 2.65. This year I planned on taking
Physics- which I need for dental school
Cell biology- required for my biochemistry major
Molecular medicine
I plan on taking these three classes first term since my school is on trimester and we have 3 classes every ten weeks.
Second term
Anatomy
Physics 120
Math
Third Term
Immunology
Senior Research
Physics
See, I really need these science courses to boost my sGPA. I could take some "easy" class like art in place of these electives but I want to make sure dental schools see that I can handle heavy science course loads. So, should I take "easier" classes in place on advanced science electives or change my study habits and work my ass off to get A's and B;s in these courses?
Thanks
