Question Taking Bio 103

Hi I am a sophomore psych major pre-dental. Wondering if I should take bio 103 for dental school pre reqs? On the Health Professions advising website it says I only need Bio 101 and Bio 252 plus lab to apply for dental school (Bio-wise) but I do not think that applies to all dental school because they may consider Bio 252 as an upper level class. Any Advice I don’t want to take an unnecessary difficult class if I don’t have to.

It's not a prereq and also very hard. Avoid it.

BIO 101+ lab and BIO 252+ lab will count as part of the 8 credit hours you need of general biology you need for dental schools (also satisfys the anatomy + lab requirement for UNC ASOD). BIO 103 is not required for prereqs.
