Hey guys quick question. My planned courses for next semester are Biochem and Physics 2, my last pre reqs. Everything else is just gonna be electives to get to 120 credits. Is it a big deal if I leave the planned/in progress section blank apart from Biochem and Physics 2? Or do the schools want to know which electives I am taking. I have not decided on these electives yet but I would like to esubmit ASAP
 
List everything, schools want to know everything.

Even the underwear you wore today. Jk about the least part but serious about the first.
 
Are the courses the only thing you can change? Can you add/change ECs?
 
After talking to other dental students and dental schools this is what I understood.. Is it a big deal if you do what you said? Absolutely not. Could you add all of the courses? Yes. Should you do it? It depends on what the courses are. If they are really just easy electives that have no relevance to dentistry or health or any critical thinking then it is probably not a big deal if you include it or not. Everything you put on the academic update is optional but obviously the better you did on your courses and the more challenging your final semester's courses are, the better. So use your judgement. I would personally wait to choose my electives and then put everything on the update. But if you don't find that out for another month then I would just submit what you have and not worry about it. Hope that helps.
