Is Gen Chem considered equivalent to Inorganic Chem?

[TODDS2BE]

Hi guys
I was just wondering if General Chem(I and II) considered equivalent to Inorganic Chem(I and II) as a prerequisite to dental schools? I talked to almost every school that I applied to. Everyone gave me a mixed response. Is there anyone who applied with General Chem but not Inorganic Chem? In my school, Inorganic Chem is a third year courses so I am a bit confused 😕 .
Thanks for all replies.

For my school, inorganic chem is an upper class chemistry course which is not equivalent to general chem I and II. You might want to talk to a science advisor at your school to make sure.

Hope this helps

inorganic chemistry is inorganic dealing with bonding of metals, and any type of chemical that doesn't have carbon... general chemistry is a little of everything in the chemistry field, most schools want general chemistry.

Yep. I applied with a year of General Chem (as well as a year of Organic Chem, of course) as my chemistry prerequisite. No problems encountered in the schools I applied to: Columbia, Tufts, NYU, Nova, UMaryland, etc.

Yes, they are simply two ways of describing the same course.

Thanks guy! I was thinking about taking Inorganic Chem I(2nd year course) and then Inorganic Chem II(3rd year course) or may be take the course at a community college. But I dont think there is a point, rather take some higher level biology courses.
