Is it really that hard to dental school?

[xerxes106]

I have the chance to go to Africa and volunteers/intern at a dental clinic in Kenya the summer of my senior year in high school. I'm hoping to apply to an accelerated dental program (to which you apply after your first semester of college) and I'm really hoping my parents agree and I hope this really stands me out from other applicants! Cause I have good high school stats as of right now and volunteer work and research but as others have said, that's something everyone has.

Go go go! Never turn down the chance to travel!

Baylor Hospital has a research program for teens. Nothing huge like those available to college students but yah...
