Hey guys, I was going to take Nutrition next semester, but ADEA says it is a non-science...so although it will count toward my scienceGPA, it won't count toward my BCP GPA...which sucks because don't dental schools look more at BCP than scienceGPA?

The thing is: I'm already going to be taking

Anatomy and Physiology with lab
Physiology with lab

...and I didn't know if it would be smart to take a 3rd advanced science course...I was thinking maybe Developmental Biology. What do you guys think...would this be fairly difficult to do? I'm just trying to get my science and BCP GPA up...

Im kind of in the same situation as you. I called a few dental schools and they said the more upper level science classes, the better. I should be graduating this December, but I pulled my graduation app. to stay an extra semester and get my minor in chem, along with taking a neurobiology lecture only offered every 2 years (Im in the process of deciding wether I want to take graduate level). If you cant/dont feel comfortable taking all those classes together, I would just take two and try to get involved in some type of research.

I think it depends on the school. I know UNC looks at the sGPA. Just take whatever you are interested by and fits into your schedule and degree.
