Required predental courses for Indiana Interview

[pinkpari27]

I got an email from Indiana saying they will give me an interview if I send them a letter telling them when I will be taking the following predental courses (anatomy). Is anatomy required for this school? I wasn't planning on taking it, and I'm not sure if it's worth it for just this one school. Also, all of their pre dec. 1st dates are full..so I'm not sure if I should take this course or not. Anyone else get a similar email? THanks!!


We need letter from you stating when you plan to complete the following
required predental course(s). You will not be granted an interview until
we receive a letter from you stating WHEN you will complete the
course(s).
