Hello

I was wondering if anyone might have some insight as to which extra required courses might benefit me the most in Dental school and be the most manageable.

Here's the list in case you forgot.
Biochemistry 3 semester-hours
Cell or Molecular Biology 3 semester-hours
Genetics 3 semester-hours
Histology 3 semester-hours
Human or Comparative Anatomy 3 semester-hours
Microbiology 3 semester-hours
Physiology 3 semester-hours

And is it me or does it seem weird that college math is not at all required? Or is it and I'm missing something? Please advise I'd like to get this show on the road and would like to make the right choices.

Thanks!

I would say: biochem, anatomy, and physiology. Many schools require those. The others would help, but many schools don't require them.

Also, for the math you will probably need to take at least through Calculus I. You will need trig in order to take the required two semesters of physics (unless you take calculus based physics in which case you will need through calculus II).

All... would benefit. If I had to choose 1 it would be anatomy because there are soo many structures for you too learn. It would be a pain in dental school if you didnt already know 90% of them from undergrad.
