Undergraduate Course Load

[letsgogogostudy]

Would taking easy science electives (they fulfill biology major requirement at my school) looked down upon? Does course load matter? I admit that I plan to take easy science electives to boost my science GPA. Should I take more difficult courses to impress dental schools?

I would focus on your GPA however, it is still important to take challenging coursework. In my personal opinion, taking challenging coursework should not be detrimental to your GPA. I know dental schools like to see that you tried and took challenging coursework but it is not the end all be all as far as your entire application. Find the right balance between rigorous courses and easier science electives.
