Hi all. I'm a junior pre-dental student planning on applying to dental school this summer. However, I recently found out that all but one of my prospective schools require Physics 2, which I was going to take during the fall semester of my senior year. Because of this, I would have to apply to dental school a year later and have to take a gap year before enrolling. Is there anything I can do about not having this one prereq class completed? I attend Ohio State and their dental school only requires 1 semester of physics so I naively assumed that most dental schools were the same way. Thanks!

It's fine, just state in your aadsas that you're planning to take phys 2, no problemo. You need to have all your pre-reqs compeleted by the time you matriculate, not when you apply.

Agree with everybody else. Just put it under future coursework and you'll be fine. I'm a senior and in the middle of applying and I'm just taking physics now. No biggie.
