am i supposed to list my planned coursework for spring 2011 even though i have NO idea what i'll be taking? should i just make it up?
 
u guys need to put in some time and figure out what you want to take in the spring. i dont think it'd look good if you put 4 random classes, and when all's said and done, didnt take any of them. that might look like you were being dishonest when filling out your applications

Can you offer more info, as in, what year are you in college? Have you taken ALL prerequisite courses yet (i.e. biology, gchem, ochem, physics, etc.)? Then, someone may be able to offer insight.

Surely you can sit down and find out what you have to take to fulfill your school's requirements (if you are still an undergrad trying to finish your bachelor degree) and plan out your semester.
 
yeah, i can sit down and do that... i guess i just wanted to make sure i was supposed to include "planned" classes for the rest of my semesters and not just the one coming up.
 
i see what u mean. i dont think theres a need to put down all your future classes, what's important is that if there are any dental school prereq classes you havent gotten to yet but plan to take down the line, you want to indicate that on your application so that schools know ur aware of the admissions requirements

but its important to avoid listing a bunch of hardcore science classes if theres a possibilty you wont end up taking them. if u put something down, make sure its a class you'll definitely take

thats my advice to u from the best of my understanding, but of course i could be wrong. (maybe the academic update will let u change your planned courses if you change your decision later on)
