I was just wondering whether not finishing prereqs (physics 2 and biochem) before I apply would be a bad idea? I will plan to finish them before matriculation though. I also was wondering how schools weigh prereq class vs upperdivs. I didn't do so well on my prereqs but did well in upper division classes.

Thanks in advance for the help

That's fine if u haven't taken physics yet but plan to.

They care more about classes that you'll see in dental school: gross, phys, micro, stats maybe, biochem...

I think those are gonna be the main classes that they actually scan over your grades looking for.
 
I didn't have anatomy or physio before applying (Taking them now) and I'm doing fine on my interviews. As long as you have your core requirements, it's fine.
