Im going to apply this cycle, but there's no way to finish physics pre-req before I apply.
Thank is the only class that i need to finish. Do I need to finish that before i apply? or by the time i graduate from undergraduate (by the time i enter dental school)

You only have to finish them by the time you matriculate, so basically by the end of the first summer semester usually. Just make sure you put down any missing prereqs in the Planned/In Progress courses on your AADSAS app, so the schools are clear on the fact that you intend to complete your prereqs in a timely manner.

ie. I have 2-3 missing pre-reqs depending on the school; they did not affect my ability to get interviews or acceptances. I've called schools about this specifically.
