I'm currently taking Chem 2OB3 and Math 1LT3, and I'm debating whether or not to drop Math 1LT3. Academically, it's definitely do-able. I originally decided to take Math 1LT3 for pharmacy school, but I've realized that pharmacy is not something that I'm interested in, thus I'm wondering if it's a better idea to just drop math and save time and money.

The only thing I can think of that would keep me in Math 1LT3 is to use it as a GPA-booster. For graduate/professional schools that look at the entire undergrad GPA, how would it calculated if I graduate with more than 120 units?

Any advice is greatly appreciated. : ) Thanks very much.

(I'm not sure what to do after undergrad yet, just not pharmacy or dentistry)

Some professional schools don't include summer courses in the GPA. Each school has their own way of calculating it. Some will include all the units you've taken (even if it's more than required for your degree), some will only take the last 2 years, some will look at all years but weight them differently, etc.
