Hey guys, I am applying this cycle, and for my planned courses for my last year, I was wondering if I should take some 300 level classes, just so dental schools don't think I'm being lazy. I don't need any of them to graduate or pre-requisites-wise, so I would rather not take them and risk my GPA, but idk.
 
Take some upper level classes that you think you would like or could possibly be useful for dental school. I have heard that if you have the room for it schools like to see classes like histology and pharmacology.

+1 on histology (physiology/embryology is good too). Really helps if you've seen the material once before you see it in dental school, where you'll be taking a crazy heavy course load each term.
 
Personally, I'm not taking anymore upper division courses than I need to graduate. I'm going to drop my microbiology major and just stick with biology so I have the time to do the things I want like teach a couple labs and take an EMT course. This also drastically lightens the course load this upcoming fall semester so I can attend interviews and not freak out about missing quizzes, tests, and assignments!
