Change from Art to Dentistery! Helllllpppp

[Nilson]

Hi Friends, I studied design(BA )in foreign middle east country, now I am permanent resident of USA and want to continue my studies to dentistry. Is it better to pass another bachelor like biology in us college or get post bacc? I mean do they have any preference for accepting between post bacc or bachelor ? Do you know about which university in New york is better for post bacc? I really need your help. Thanks

Suny for undergrad because it's a state school.

No need to get another bachelors degree. Just take the pre-requisite courses needed at a 4 year college/university, and then you can apply.

Take pre requisites, get a 4.0, then get 21+ DAT... different schools have different class requirements (6 hours of english vs 3 etc) so look out for that.

I was a business major, I’m currently in a post-bacc program and love it.

It doesn't really matter what college. You just need a 4.0. Unless someone is paying for your school, go for the cheaper one.

you don't need 4.0.
Just do the best you can, but 4.0 is definitely not required. 3.5+ and 20+ on DAT is pretty good number. Of course, higher the better.
They will be interested in your art studies because dentistry is science + art. You will be a good dentist!

Doesnt matter that much, but there is a post bacc program and commitee letter at CCNY & Stony Brook. <--cheapest options

 

[Nilson]

guys,
do you exactly know which universities accept Post Bacc? Colombia, NYU, Stony and maybe if there is more option?

They're all fine with post baccs. Just do well in the program. The only issue would be if you took CC or Juco prereqs, where a few dental schools may not take your credits.

Community College or Junior College - 2 year colleges. Some dental schools won't accept these. Take at a four year school.
