I just wanted your guys' opinion on taking another year to raise GPA.
My GPA is already decently high (3.78), but I wanted to take an extra year to push it up over 3.8 because I'm considering applying to MSTP programs which are pretty competitive.
That said, I already have all my prereqs done so the classes I'd be taking would be relatively easy ones I know I can get a good grade in.
How will schools feel about me taking "easy" science and math classes after taking stuff like molecular bio and advanced genetics the semester before? Will this hurt me more than help?
