Hello,
I am currently in the 2nd semester of my informal post bac and by the end of this fall, I will have taken all of the necessary upper level bios that are geared towards dental school. Since I am reapplying for entry 2017, do you think dental schools will mind if I take other upper division bio classes that aren't really geared towards dental school like Ecology, conservation biology, botany, zoology (if offered), toxicology, etc for GPA boosters?

Thank you!

It wouldn't make a difference to them as long as you have your pre-reqs done (which you do), and other "recommended upper-levels" completed. Since it's an informal post-bac I don't see the need in taking those other sciences if you have an average or strong sgpa. If your sgpa needs improvement, then go for it. If not, then save the money.

Yes, my sgpa needs some improvement. Thank you!

Def take it. I did. I pretty much took every upper lvl bio class my school offered and I also took a bunch of low and mid lvl bio classes for the easy GPA boost.
