Hi guys,
I have room for a science course + lab in my future schedule plannining. I can't decide if I want to take Microbiology + Microbiology lab, or Cell biology + human physiology lab. Biochemistry, genetics, human physiology, human anatomy + human anatomy lab, and exercise physiology will be my other upper div. classes. Which option would help me the most in the future and why? Thanks.

If I were you i'd take both...if you plan on taking only one however I think that the cell bio course would correlate better with the courses that you plan on taking in the future. Cell biology I find is similar to human physiology in certain aspects; and genetics, heck there is even a nice intro to biochemistry in there. I find microbiology a course that is about..... MICROBES, yes you will find a greater amount of biochemistry (metabolic pathways) from this course, but in the long run (for me anyway) I found that cell biology correlates more with your other courses as it covers a larger range of topics (My course was actually Molecular & Cell biology, so maybe yours might differ). The reason I would take both if I were you is because in many dental schools, you will have to take Microbiology and Biochemistry, thereby giving you a slight advantage. The more the better!! OH, and do take an english course (i have yet to do that..... can you tell HAHA)..
