So I am in the process of finishing up my senior year, and I have not taken anatomy yet. My second semester will be part time, and it would cost roughly an extra $2500 to include my school's anatomy course. However, most dental students I talk to say it would be a good idea to at least have a base in anatomy to make the gross anatomy class easier. Does anybody know of a free, online anatomy course? I'm interested in learning the material but honestly could care less if I have a grade on my transcript.
 
I would say A&P is great to have on your transcript. It's a very common "highly recommended" class.

I've already gotten 4 interviews so I'm not worried about boosting my application, and I'd like to save $2500 if I can.

I am taking anatomy now and its definitely not a course you want to take online IMO there are a lot of details and it is much better to have them explained to you versus read them in a textbook and try to make sense of it all. I doubt there will be anything free the closest thing I can think of cost effectively would be to buy or rent a textbook and read through it if you really want. I can tell you mine is Principles of Anatomy and Physiology 14th Edition by Tortora and Derrickson
