<p>So I'm a Psychology major, doing pre-dent. I screwed up big time during my freshman year (I'm a sophomore now). I'm currently retaking the courses I didn't pass. I'm trying to lay out my plan for the upcoming semesters. I asked my advisor already, and she said it's doable. But I want to know from your experiences how it was like taking these classes together. </p>

<p>I will also be taking psychology courses along with these. </p>

<p>Summer A 2010
CHM2210</p>

<p>Summer B 2010
CHM2211</p>

<p>*I will also be taking BSC2010 during Summer C, which is Summer A+B.</p>

<p>Fall 2010
BSC2011 + lab
PHY2053
CHM2211 lab</p>

<p>Spring 2011
Genetics
Microbiology</p>

<p>Summer 2011
Biochemistry</p>

<p>Fall 2011
PHY2054 + lab
Physiology</p>

<p>Spring 2012</p>

<p>*I currently don't have anything planned for Spring 2012. Any suggestions on what courses I could push back? Also, I will be taking the DAT the summer after my junior year. What pre-reqs should I finish prior to taking the exam? Thanks, guys!</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure the DAT doesn’t include Physics so you might want to wait until your senior year to take it.</p>

<p>I would move the orgo 2 lab to the summer you take orgo 1 and 2. And bump bio 1 and lab to fall 2010 and bio 2 and lab to the spring. From what I hear the DAT is a lot more fact based…unlike the MCAT where the information is in the passages for the most part. If you have room, maybe you could take Eukaryotic Cell Structure. Genetics is a good class, esp with Wayne.</p>

<p>Thanks, FloridaGator3! </p>

<p>ASMAJ, do you know if you’re allowed to take Orgo 2 Lab over the summer the same time you’re taking Orgo 1 and Orgo 2?</p>

<p>I just revised my schedule. How does it look now?</p>

<p>Summer A 2010
CHM2210</p>

<p>Summer B 2010
CHM2211</p>

<p>*taking Orgo 2 lab during Summer C, which is Summer A+B (if possible).</p>

<p>Fall 2010
BSC2010
Eukaryotic Cell Structure or Physiology</p>

<p>Spring 2011
BSC2011 + Lab
Microbiology</p>

<p>Summer 2011
Biochemistry</p>

<p>Fall 2011
PHY2053
Genetics</p>

<p>Spring 2012
PHY2054 + lab</p>

<p>Do you guys recommend taking any additional sciences that will help me on the DAT, or make me a better candidate for dental school?</p>

<p>Yes, to the orgo question. </p>

<p>Which physio were you planning on taking. The 5 credit one for bio majors or the 3(?) credit health sciences one?</p>

<p>I would switch micro and genetics. I dont think micro will be that helpful with prep, but I would have to read more about the content in the bio section.</p>

<p>Since you are a psych major, I would consider behavioral neuroscience or physiological psychology. More for neuro prep for when you get to dental school.</p>

<p>Scratch that, I’m just going to take Eukaryotic Cell Structure. No Physio.</p>

<p>Unfortunately, I cannot switch Micro and Genetics because BSC 2011 is a prereq for Genetics. </p>

<p>Hmm</p>
