Since when is anatomy a required course?

I always thought that anatomy was a recommended course, not a required one. I've taken physiology, but that's about it. Anyone have experience with applying to Midwestern without taking anatomy?

I guess my university is behind then, because under the pre-med/pre-dent study of courses, anatomy is just a recommended class. Even at the couple of dental schools I've visited in the past year it was recommended. Maybe it's been a change in the past couple of years? Sucks

Pretty sure Midwestern has always required it. They required it in 2012 when I applied...

It was required when I was applying last year. I just didn't apply there when I found out and added another school.

Anatomy is a tough course. In dental school it is very demanding, so they want to see people succeed. Prior exposure will help with the adjustment period. It's the same reason many schools now require biochem IMO.

If it helps they take the Anatomy offered by the EXS department too. Which is defiantly way easier.
