This summer, I'm planning to take Genetics, but I've been thinking about taking an intro Art class as well. This is a notoriously easy class, one that you can get an A+ without attending a single lecture. I was wondering whether any med schools might look at this unfavorably as some kind of GPA booster. The thing is, I'm not taking this just for a small GPA boost. That certainly doesn't hurt, but to use my university's on-campus gym (which is free) in the summer, you have to be registered as a full-time student, which means taking minimum 7 hours (Genetics: 4; Art: 3).
I could register for a more "legitimate" 3-hour class, but I plan to use the summer mainly for research, volunteering, and getting my EMT training done. The genetics class only takes up 90 minutes a day Monday-Friday in the morning, so I still have a lot of time on my hands to do other stuff. If I added a more time-consuming class, I doubt I'd be able to effectively contribute to everything I'm involved with. Is taking this class ok, or should I just stick to Genetics?
