Hello, I'm currently in a Masters in Medical Sciences program, and I am trying to concurrently study for the MCAT at the same time. Trying to keep my grades up while studying MCAT has been a huge challenge, especially since I have been dealing with medical issues. I was wondering if I should drop one or two classes to dedicate more time on the MCAT, or should I stay enrolled in the courses and take the MCAT at a later time if needed. If I stay in the classes, I will only end up with a B+/A- at best, which will drop my grad GPA to 3.6/3.7. However, I am on track to get an A in the other courses I will not be dropping. How bad would it look to drop a graduate level class? Thanks!
