Hi there!
I was wondering when Pre-Dents normally take upper division science courses during their undergrad years.
I am currently a junior, looking to apply this summer, and I am actually majoring in Sociology, because I have an interest in those classes. Along with that, of course, I am taking all of my Dental School Pre-Reqs, and am almost finished; all I have left is Orgo 2 and Physics 2, which I am taking this semester. However, all schools do recommend certain upper division science classes be taken, and that's a little difficult for me, considering I am a Sociology major. I have taken Anatomy and Physiology I, but that's pretty much it for the upper divisions. I am also hoping to knock out A&P II this summer, and I will be taking Bio Chem, along with the rest of my sociology classes for my major, in the Fall. My question is, is that a sufficient number of upper divisions? Especially considering I am applying this summer, but will be taking the classes so late! I have no problem with taking these classes, it has just been hard getting all of my pre-reqs, and my major classes done. And I've also had to transfer undergrad schools, where I've had some trouble getting credits transferred. That also cause a bump in the road because I had to take additional GER classes, in order to graduate. If anybody has been in a similar situation or can offer advice, I would REALLY appreciate it. I really don't want my lack of upper division classes, or the fact that I will take them really late, be the reason I don't get accepted. 🙁
