According to Penn Dental's site, "All prerequisite courses should be completed by the spring term, prior to matriculation to dental school."

The only prerequisites I am missing are the organic lab courses. I was planning to take the first section in the spring semester before graduating and the second during the summer (ending in early July). Of course, it looks like Penn wants everything done before the spring semester after you apply.

The reason I do not want to start the lab in the fall is because it does not fit into my schedule well, and it would put me over 17 credits (also taking physics and biochem). Since this is the time for interviews, I do not want to fall behind in all of these courses in my last year if I am missing school. I am only applying to five schools though..

Note-I am graduating a year early, so that's why I have these courses left.

Do you think Penn and would accept my circumstances?

Call them. I would assume they just want to make sure you get them done and do well.
