Hi, I am a freshman who want to go to dental school. I just want to ask everyone about my class schedule. I think other pre-dental students would find it is helpful as well.
4 classes x 4 credits = 16 credits every semester
My freshman year (rightnow):
Fall: Physic1/ Cal1/ Chem1/ FirstYearSenimar (manage to get 4.0)
Spring: Physic 2/ Bio1/ Chem2/ Chinese Culture
Plan for sophomore year:
Fall: OChem1/ Bio2/ Economic/ no idea
Spring: OChem 2/ Upper Bio/ Computer Science/ no idea
In my junior year, I will take 4 upper biology course (2 for each semester):
Fall: genetic/ microbiology/ no idea/ no idea
Spring: immunology/ biochemistry or marine biology/no idea/ no idea
I know that my senior grade (fall) will not matter because I will apply really early in summer.
MY QUESTIONS ARE:
I cannot put anatomy(fall) or physiology (spring) in my first 3 years. These course are 200 levels (lower divison) but contain too many materials. Do you guys think I should take them in my senior year (no summer by the way)? I know that some dental schools highly recommend them.
NO IDEA: I really have no idea for these blanks. I'm afraid of choosing non-science classes (i'm not good, prefer science) because they can lower my GPA. I saw many students just picked whatever class that sounded interesting but then regret taking it. Would you recommend any easy courses you already took in your undergrad studies?
HOPE YOU GUYS GIVE ME SOME ADVICES.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
