Taking science courses vs. focusing on MCAT

I plan on taking 3-4 science courses this upcoming semester (some are upper level electives)
My current cgpa is ~3.5, but my science GPA is poor at around 3.1. However, taking these courses would help raise my sGPA to around a 3.3

However, my MCAT date is also in April. Do you think it's possible to juggle both classes + MCAT? Or do you think I should sacrifice the GPA to do well on the MCAT?

I would ideally like to be in an MD program, but am definitely planning to apply DO as well.

Personally I'd focus on the classes and postpone the MCAT. I wouldn't sacrifice my gpa. This is the exact reason I plan on taking the MCAT in September. It causes another gap year, but I'd rather do well on the MCAT and keep my A's.
