Hi! I graduated from UCSD with a B.A in political science. My G.P.A was 3.456. The only dental prerequisites I took in college were English and psychology. I want to become a dentist, but don't know how to go about it. I know I need to take the other prerequisites, but I really don't have money, so taking them at a community college sounds really good to me! I live in Rancho Palos Verdes, and to be honest, it's in the boonies (getting to a freeway takes 30 minutes!). It's very isolated, and getting to even UCLA will take over an hour. Even getting to the closest community college, would take 35 minutes. I guess I could go to CSUDH, CSULB, or UCLA, if it's not advisable for me to take the prereqs at a cc. Should I enroll in a postbacc program, or just take the prereqs at a cc? Again, I have NO MONEY. I was thinking about doing UCLA extension, but I took a look at their schedule, and the classes only meet once a week, so I honestly think it would be too fast paced, and I won't learn too much. I've always wanted to become a dentist, but just don't know where to start, and am scared that I'll waste money, time, blood, sweat, and tears, and not even get into dental school. I'm already 25. HELP!
