I'm torn between majoring in Bio or Sociology. if I choose Bio, i could improve my BCPM, but if i choose Sociology, i'd boost my overall GPA since its really easy. what should I do?

Honestly, it's your call. You're the one that has to take the classes, which interest you more. You could always minor in Soc and bring up your GPA.
 
Major in whatever you enjoy. Medical schools have plenty of experience turning humanities majors into excellent physicians. I'm in biomedical engineering not because I want to go into medicine, but because I like solving practical problems creatively. If I had no creativity or hated science, there's no way I'd be in this major. Four years of slaving away at something you don't enjoy isn't worth it.

As a side note somewhat related to choosing a major, I think that for most people, college will be their last chance to take classes in their other random interests. I say that because when it comes time to pick electives, there isn't an overwhelmingly compelling reason to pick an advanced biology course over something you've always been truly interested in. Virology I'm sure will come up in medical school. The influence of Shakespeare on the development of interpretive dance 🙄 probably won't.
 
do both. i did it in bio and psych, and i loved both. if u cant decide, just do both, and you probably wont regret it cuz they'r eboth very good disciplines.
