Hi everyone,

I need advice as to what I should do.

I graduated May2010 with Bio degree, been working for the last year in a dental office as an assistant but decided to pursue dentistry. This semester I am planning on taking some classes to up my GPA along with studying for the DATs.
I am taking an upper level Bio class, Neuropharmacology, for a challenging class, and plan on getting an A. And now here is where my dilemma is at. I was thinking of retaking an intro bio class that I got a C in (about 6 years ago when I took it as a sophomore) to get an A. The only reason I'm doing this is because an advisor from admissions at a dental school suggested it. I know both the C and A will be calculated for my GPA on my application.

Do you guys think this is a good idea to retake this intro class and get an A or should I just take a completely different Bio class?

Thanks in advance 🙂

Let's see.. your advice came from an advisor from a ds but you believe you can get better advice on SDN.
 
Yes because that was just one advisor from one dental school, on here there are tons of you 🙂
