Should I take more science classes?

During the Spring 2012 semester, I was studying for the MCAT, and as a result, I fell behind in 2 upper division biology courses (1 on programming systems biology and 1 on the physics and chemistry of oceans). I decided taking it p/np was the best choice for me. They were 4 units each, so I ended up with 10 p/np units that semester (the extra 2 p/p units came from an internship).

I recently graduated on May 2013, and between the Spring 2012 semester and my graduation, I have only taken 1 other upper division biology course (got a B in biochemistry). I was wondering if I should take 2 other upper division biology courses (maybe 1 on genetics and 1 on physiology) at my (former) school in the summer as a way to make up for those p/np classes??

These are some of my stats.

I personally think you're solid. Take them if you cannot contain your love for the sciences.

Those are good stats. You should be fine.

This is competitive for both MD and DO
