Answer 1

NICE QUESTION.
THERE IS A REQUIRED COURSE IN BIOCHEMISTRY WHICH WILL ONLY MAKE SENSE TO YOU IF YOU'VE STUDIED ORGANIC CHEM. FIRST. THIS IS WHY A CURRICULUM OF PRE-DENTAL COURSEWORK NEEDS TO BE DONE FIST.
I CLEPPED OUT OF THE REQUIRED BIO CHEM STUDIES IN DENTAL SCHOOL BECAUSE I TOOK A YEAR OF BC FIRST IN UNDERGRAD. OUT OF MY WHOLE CLASS THERE WERE ONLY 2 PEOPLE THAT QUALIFIED TO CLEP OUT OF BC AND YOU ARE READING THIS FROM ONE OF THESE. IT'S HARDER THAN MEDICINE BECAUSE NOT ONLY IS ALL THE SAME ANATOMY LABWORK, BUT ALSO ALL THE WORK PERTAINING TO DENTISTRY NEEDED.
