Best way to find out would be to get a major of your choice and see what else you’d have to fulfill. I majored in psychology and took additional courses for a widespread of dental schools which includes genetics, comparative anatomy, biochemistry, biological nutrition, microbiology, precalculus, statistics. (I think as a psychology major, taking additional biology courses definitely helped me stand out when I was able to achieve an A in all additional biology courses as well).Prerequisites I have:
Gen Bio 1 semester
Large number of bio courses (Bio major--no microbiology or biochem or anatomy, though but have genetics ecology physiology)
Gen Chem + lab, 1 year
1 semester orgo with lab (planning to take orgo 2)
Calculus 1 year
No psychology
No stats
Thank you
I did it this way because every school requires different pre-requisites. The only other classes I can think of to fulfill most dental schools for myself would be taking calculus and physiology.
You should definitely take anatomy, microbiology, and biochemistry. Many schools require these classes (when you apply, you’ll already have had them completed).
Note: You don’t have to take all those biology courses you claimed missing BUT it will definitely be worth it when you apply so you won’t have any missing courses for different schools you wish to apply to.

Ive already graduated and have 1 more semester left to take what i am missing. I was planning to take orgo 2, microbiology, and biochem. What about gen bio part 2? Will my upper level bios cover that or is that absolutely required for everywhere?

Oh no that’s absolutely required everywhere.Ive already graduated and have 1 more semester left to take what i am missing. I was planning to take orgo 2, microbiology, and biochem. What about gen bio part 2? Will my upper level bios cover that or is that absolutely required for everywhere?

Some will require Gen Bio others just ask that you take a Certain amount of Bio Credits. If Im Honest you could probably get away without taking it.

Majority of schools want the class though. So it's better to take it.Some will require Gen Bio others just ask that you take a Certain amount of Bio Credits. If Im Honest you could probably get away without taking it.
Can i apply before having finished all my prerequisites? I have 9 left and i can take 6 during the spring semester.Majority of schools want the class though. So it's better to take it.
