Drop physio. Take later if need be.
The semester you take Orgo should have 14 credits (because a 3-4 Orgo class really is more like 6) so ideally you’d drop physio and another class. You need high grades to have a shot at med school and that means knowing how to balance your schedule.
What’s your current GPA? Your science GPA?
Have you taken Sociology? Cognitive science?
I’d suggest taking one advanced science class each semester in addition to your Psychology requirements, then make sure you have classes in bioethics, neuroscience, biochemistry, a diversity-docused class. If the clinic or health center or hospital where you volunteer caters to specific populations, see if you can reinforce that orientation with a class (about rural challenges, the elderly, immigration history, Spanish…)
