How much BioChem is in your curriculum? If I didnt take BioChem in undergrad, would I be disadvantaged either in DSchool or for Board Exam?

(I would like to know generally, but also specifically for Case Western)

The amount of biochem you need to know in dental school or for the boards is minimal to what is taught at most undergrads. Every little bit helps, but I wouldn't worry about it if you didn't get a chance to take it before dental school.

I'm not sure I totally agree with this...at least not based on my experience. Biochemistry is ridiculously hard here. Apparently, there was a guy with a masters in biochem (from last years class) that received a B. It probably varies from school to school.
