Undergrad Schedule

[DDS_mom]

Hi all,

I am having the most difficult time putting together my undergrad schedule and visualizing this timeline. I have taken Anatomy, Chem 1 & 2, and Trig (to be able to take calc in Fall). I was wondering if someone could post their undergrad schedules for me to compare? I feel like I'm going to be stuck in undergrad classes forever if I don't lock down a mock timeline. SOS!

The UMKC undergrad degree I am working on is Bachelors in Biology with an emphasis on pre-dentistry Class Requirements for Degree

I will be working M-F during this time at a job with free daycare and amazing flexibility so I can leave whenever I need to for classes. I am very hesitant to do a heavier course load each semester because I would be missing more work (I don't get paid when I leave obviously). I think on my application it may be sufficient to show that I worked a full-time job and am a mom taking on these classes, but what do you guys think? I can 100% buckle down and take more credits if I need to, but definitely could use some advice. I made a mock schedule below of the classes that are required for the degree. Edit how you see fit.

Any advice on which classes to take together? With this schedule, when should I take the DAT and apply for dental school? Sorry for a million questions, just trying to be thorough! Edit schedule how you see fit. Open to any and all comments!

Wow. your undergrad offers implant design?

In biomedical engineering yes.
