Should I minor???

I was an engineering student and recently changed my major to Biology.
So, I have completed a lot of math classes and I just need to take one more math class to minor in Math.
But.. that class is one of the hardest math courses in school.
And I also heard that AADSAS or Dental school don't even consider Minors.. and AADSAS application doesn't have a place to mention about Minors..
So.. should I minor in math? or should I not take it since minor doesn't matter?
If it doesn't matter then I would prefer not to take an extra Math class...

While I don't think there's any place in particular to write in that you have a minor on the application, I'm sure you could note it somewhere in your personal statement. Whenever I hear that someone has minored in math, I'm usually pretty impressed.

Thanks!

What happens if I decided to minor in math and mention that in my personal statement but I ended up not minoring in math ??
Like.. I will have 1 more semester after I apply so.. what if I mention that I am minoring in math but.. didn't actually end up minoring..
would this be like... rly bad?

Just in case dental school does not work out the very first year you apply; you can put that minor on your resume and attract employers during your glide year.

Wouldn't be... horrible, they'd probably never find out anyways. But you might as well finish it up if it's just one more class.

Wouldn't my transcript say something about my minor though??
I really don't feel like to take another math class... i will have to so much effort.. in my last semester..
So.. I actually don't want to minor..
But, if Minoring HELPS me for getting into the dental schools.. then I would like to mention that in my app!!
I don't know what to do..

Eh, it's up to you, I don't think it would make a big difference, but it would probably make you stand out a bit more.

Would that explain the change of heart?
