Hi,
I'm currently planning to be a Comp Sci major and am taking the basic pre med classes. I just finished my freshman year with a 3.8 taking the basic Bio/Chem/Calc/Comp Sci. I'm planning on taking Orgo and Physics next year as well as some upper level Comp Sci classes. However I did the math and I'll have around 12-14 credits to spare towards my degree after completing the Comp Sci, Pre med, and general requirements for my school. My question is should I take some upper level life science classes such as (Physio, Molbio, Biochem) in order to prep for the MCAT or stick to the barebones pre reqs and study on my own?
The reason I'm so hesitant is that Comp Sci classes are hard even though I enjoy them and I worry that if I take two upper level comp sci classes a semester with upper level bio classes it might hurt my GPA?
Basically do you think upper level science classes are worth taking if it risks lowering my GPA?
