Haven't taken some required classes...

I haven't taken some of the required classes that most dental schools are looking for yet (i.e. physics and human A&P) so on my application should I enter those classes as a future class to be taken in my senior Spring '15 semesters?

Honestly, what do you think the answer is? Thinking just for a second and you can probably figure this out yourself.

No need to be rude. I came asking for help and here you are without an answer. What my question should have been was: will it hurt my application taking these classes later in my college career since the dental school won't have the grades for these classes until after the acceptance period?

Yes, you can just list those classes as future classes. But, keep in mind that physics is a 2 part class and you usually need pre-reqs for it (at my school, anyway). Not sure if you knew that or not 🙂 It won't hurt you at all. Most applicants have pre-reqs listed in future courses. Good luck.

I have the pre-reqs for them so that shouldn't be any issue. I just didn't know if I should post my future classes since it doesn't appear on the transcript. Thank you!

He wasn't rude. Use the search bar.

You literally just answered your own question.

Idk why everyone's being a jerk to you. But I did some research and as long as you complete the pre reqs before you enter dental school (i.e. your graduation from undergrad) you should be fine. List them as future courses.

I couldn't find info on this elsewhere so where better to turn than here? Since my spring '15 classes that I plan on taking aren't even on my transcript yet because registration for that semester hadn't even happened, I didn't know if it was right for them to go on the application. After reading the two helpful replies here I added the final classes that the colleges are looking for to my spring '15 semester.
