Taking 100 Level Courses Sophomore Year?

[wykwang]

I'm considering taking one or two 100 level science electives to raise my sGPA this upcoming second semester of my sophomore year. I was just wondering at what point does this look suspicious to adcoms, since I did the same thing first semester this year. Obviously, I don't want to be taking easy 100 level courses my junior and senior year, but I know plenty of premeds who wait until their last two years to take prereq physics (100 level course), so would it really look bad if I took some easier 100 level biology electives my sophomore year?

I am a senior right now taking a 100 level course. Took another 100 level course junior year, and I have been accepted to 4 medical schools. Its fine, as long as you take difficult classes along with them

So long as you take higher and higher level courses in your major discipline and excel, including some easier classes won't hurt you.
