I am planning on taking 2 summer classes (anatomy and statistic), but i am worried it will be too much for me since i am also taking the PCAT this summer in addition to volunteering. Should i just wait to take classes fall semester? If i do well this summer, it could boost my GPA before i apply in August, but i am scared i won't have enough time to study well for the PCAT. What should i do?
 
I am doing the same thing. I am taking Physics I and Physics II during the summer so I can graduate in the Fall. I will be taking the PCAT on July 17th. I plan to just try and study as much as I can in May after the Spring semester and then just fit as much as I can during the summer.

I took the PCAT in the summer last year, while also taking Anatomy/Physiology I and Chem II.

Worked out fine. Just make sure you study PCAT hard for a solid month, few hours a day.
