Taking less units or easier classes?

<p>My goal is to get a ~3.5 in the CoC so I’m approved for the advance research path, so far I have a 3.3 and I’m doing okay in my spring classes (so far).</p>

<p>Next semester I plan on either taking 13 unit minimum or bumping up to 16/17 so I could take an ‘easy A’ course.</p>

<p>My schedule looks something like this:
Chem 112A
Math 54
Persian A
Either blank or gpa boost (already at 14 units with those above) </p>

<p>Then spring would be:</p>

<p>Chem 112A
Bio 1A/L
Persian B
GPA boost?</p>

<p>And with the GPA boost I could further dilute my science GPA with stuff like ‘physics and music’ or ‘drugs and the brain’.</p>

<p>Which approach would most likely lead to a better GPA? More units or more time?</p>
