Re posting it here. Didn't get any replies in DDS forums:

I'm definitely attending dental school this Fall and I was wondering which classes I should take this semester. I have already finished my biology major. I have a few options:

Option 1: Finish my second major (psychology) (10 hours)

Option 2: Take additional biology courses to prepare for dental school. (currently signed up for Vertebrate embryology, Comparative Physiology, and Behavioral Neuroscience; also have option of Cancer Biology and Infectious Diseases - all 400+ courses) (which of these will be useful?)

Option 3: Take an easy semester of fun/interesting classes.

Additionally, I can also take the 4th level of Spanish. However, I haven't taken spanish for the last 4 semesters so I'm a little behind to say the least. How useful is spanish in the dental profession and is it worth working my ass off and taking it?

Any help appreciated.

Personally, I would go with either option 2 or 3.

Maybe lean towards a combo of 2 and 3 such as take only 1 or 2 science courses that will benefit you in dschool...

Give yourself a break! Option 3 like me!

I AM exactly in your shoes. I have one semester left and I decided not to finish my second major (psychology) and instead take high level bio classes. Everyone here who replied to my thread encouraged me to do that and after talking to my adviser, he advised the same thing.

Ahhh nvm- you already got in. Take option 3! all the way!

Here is one of my polls in which I asked people about their last semesters.... might help you decide if you see what others are planning.

I am taking 11 credits of upper level biology (to finish my major and prepare for DS) and a gym class. Tough classes but low credit load. I figure I can just relax the summer before DS.

Thx for the advise. If anyone's wondering, I went with option 2 (4 science classes + 1 general ed requirement) 😀
