Taking Physics 2 and Biochem after applying?

The way things are going it looks like I might end up with taking Physics 2 and Biochem (If I have to take it for a school) the Fall after applying. Is this okay or frowned upon? I can complete it before but it will probably push my app back a year.

Yeah, that's fine. The pre-requisites to enter a school have to be completed before you start dental school, not before you apply. And those two courses aren't the make it or break it courses either. You just want to demonstrate that you can handle the science courses before you apply, so that's why people tend to try to finish as many sciences as they can before applying.

Exactly what RU1992 said 🙂 You're fine taking it after applications are in!

I'm taking physics, english, orgo and gen chem lol, and I was still able to get 2 interviews so far, I would not be worried, if anything, you would get an conditional offer.

You mean you haven't take those classes or are you currently taking them?

To the OP, I think it's better to have the most common prereqs done, but I guess it's still possible to land interviews without them.

Wowwww.... How did you get interviews without having virtually ANY science courses completed? All you finished was General Biology? How on earth did you take your DAT... Hahaha so confused right now.

^ Same haha.

@ OP: I already applied and I'm finishing up physics 1 and biochem next week, so those classes weren't on my application. I'm taking physics 2 in the fall along with micro AND genetics (which are requirements for some schools but not all).
