Hey ,
I am currently deciding between going into dentristy or optometry. I probably will plan on applying for both and see what my choices when the time comes. As far as applying to dental schools I had a few questions. I have basically finished all my pre reqs except for 4 credits of Organic Chem 2. I was just wondering do most dental schools require that you have all the pre reqs completed before even sending in the application. The reason I ask is that I might not have a organic lab completed by the time i submit my application. I plan on taking O chem 2 as well as the DAT right around when i submit my applications, however I am planning to take the lab for it later on. I know for most optometry schools as long as you have the majority of the pre-reqs completed at the time of the submitted application that is ok. Also I have ~3.1 GPA with a 3.3 Sci GPA. I plan on applying to all the schools here in texas but just wanted suggestions as to which I might have the best shot to get into out of Texas. Thanks.
