Coursework: Which looks better?

Reproductive Biology
Pharmacology & Toxicology
(Easy Prof for both)

Animal Behavior
Neuroanatomy
(First Prof Easy, Second Prof Hard)

All are graduate level courses. I will be taking about 12 other graduate semester units on top of these. Which two courses would you take if you were me?


The top option is taught by the same prof, so it should be easier to get a letter of recommendation from her if this cycle does not go well! Plus, I don't know if I want to risk a difficult course to knock down my planned GPA increases :\

On the other hand, Neuroanatomy is a very important dental school class, yes? So, it definitely helps to take it and do well in it.

i finished up my masters and would say that neuroanatomy is very important for dental school....not simply for admissions but for your knowledge. Pharmacology is essential.....do well in both.....have confidence!! 🙂

Reproductive Biology and Animal Behavior are just classes to give me credits to graduate this semester.

The biggest problem is that pharmacology and neuroanatomy classes have a time conflict so I cannot take both 🙁

That is my dilemma.

I am leaning towards neuroanatomy though, since it is very very relevant to d-school, can give adcom a good impression, and can prepare me.

you are correct.....neuroanatomy is a great course to take...it will help you when in dental school for sure.....pharmacology will be taken in dschool too....so..
It sounds like you know what you need 2 do 😉
