Whoah, Young Grasshoppa. Slow down. Your first year looks nice, assuming you have already taken your Bio's. I like that you have some thrown in upper levels in your upperclassmen years. I'm assuming you are an unorthodox applicant (not really biomedical science major) but it appears nice. Are you by chance becoming a speech pathologist and then going the dental route?

haha, I'm technically a senior credit-wise. I do have my Bio done. My major is speech pathology like you guessed but no, I will not become a speech language pathologist before dental school. I'd have to get my master's degree and then apply..so I don't think it's worth it, especially if that's not the route I'm going...
My school has this cool little program called Grad Planner. I used it to create this schedule. So hopefully everything works out as planned!

Pardon me, old timer. I see you are getting your BCP's done which is good: Chemistry 1 Chemistry 2 O-Chem 1 O-Chem 2 O-Chem Lab Physics 1
Physics 2.
Once you finish these classes, you can start studying for your DAT which you can start the summer before junior year since most applicants apply the summer before senior year being that it takes a year to get in. Or you can take it that summer as well.
I also see that you have a pretty nice amount of upper levels which is good: Anatomy and Anatomy Lab, Biochem, Microbiology, Human Phys. It might be a little overboard but maybe a couple (2 or 3 additional upper levels) would make you super awesome. On par with cheesecake.

haha why thank you 🙂
I think I'll add Genetics in there at some point.
Thanks for the feedback! I'm obviously stressing too early!
Looks like I'll be taking the DAT & applying Summer of 2012

im not seeing more than two BCP sciences per semester. dont schools wanna see 3-4 BCP sciences per semester? i posted a similar thread, and was told this. i already have a 4 yr degree so i was not including any electives only sciences, but I guess i could. they suggested I should take like ochem II + lab, biochem,microbiology all in one semester. id rather do two sciences + 1-2 electives. but whatever is best i guess.

Schools would love to see as many BCP classes a semester you can handle. But they don't want to see 4 BCP classes a semester with a 2.7 GPA. Start off by taking a semester with 2 BCP classes and some electives, if you get a good GPA and can handle it you can step it up to 3-4 BCP classes from there.

Just keep the grades up, schools love the numbers (GPA/DAT) more than they do how many hard classes you have taken a quarter or semester.
