So I am in a bit of a bind.
I am missing all english, physics and half (maybe) of my inorganic chem requiremtns. I have a semester of introduction to inorganic chemistry in my 2nd year(5 years ago).
Anyways, I am trying desparately to get into this upcoming cycle. I am in a Master's program so I will have 9 credits to do each semester. Plus english and physics lab (3 and 4 credits respectively). Latch on inrganic chemistry and i will have 3 graduate and 3 undergraduate coruses, 2 being labs.
I imagine adcom allows fall/spring/summer before matriculation for you to complete these courses, correct?
I guess I am wondering, does missing such a giant chunk of courses give adcom a bad impression? Or does it not matter as long as you get it done before entering. I would really not like to take another year to get into dental
As well, I have the option of staying in my US school (international student) during this summer to finish my english and physics requirements. However, I would not be able to obtain as much shadowing experience or have as much time to study for the DAT. Which would you all suggest to be better, DAT/shadowing during the summer and finish a giant course load in the following year as a conditional application or to lower the amount of prereqs i have this summer while neglecting the DAT and shadowing slightly?
Thanks ahead of time.
TLDR: missing all eng, physics and 1/2 inorganic chem as well as shadowing and DAT. What to do first this summer, eng/phys with some shadowing and DAT or shadowing/DAT all the way.
