Seeing as my chances for this cycle are bleak Ive signed up for 20 credits /6 classes for next semester. My problem is because I signed up so late all the good classes (read: upper level science) are all filled up.
I need to take as many sci classes as possible to boost my GPAs as much as possible for next cycle. As a result Im forced to take two bio intro courses, one intro geology, 2 mid-level bios and only one upper level chem course that has little to nothing to do with dental school (its about ways to determine a molecules structure).
Will admissions look down on me for taking easy classes and think I only did for the gpa boost? Because thats not true at all. I dont need easy courses to get straight As, as demonstrated in a previous semester of mine with all upper lv sci classes and a resulting 4.0 semester.
EDIT: Adding this (below) so you guys can better see where Im coming from and why I posted about it.
In my current school when they say intro what they really mean is the class is a level below the basic science prereqs needed for D school, it is in a way remedial. The "intro" science courses (at least in my school) are usually for non-science majors, so they can learn some science in a way thats not overwhelming for them.
