I graduated from college in 2012 with a degree in the humanities. Now I'm interested in becoming a dentist but am obviously not ready to apply for dental school. I've been researching post-bacc dental programs but it looks like many of them are geared toward people who need to boost their GPA's or have already tried applying to dental school, or are economically disadvantaged (none of those apply to me). So I'm wondering
-if there were any programs you could recommend that suit my situation
-whether it makes much difference if I complete a program, or just take the classes I need at a local college
-whether/how much dental schools care how/where you get those credits (i.e. taking the courses i need at a more prestigious school, whether certain pre-dental programs are better regarded than others, etc.) Aside from not having science, my undergrad record is solid (good GPA from a good school).
-if anyone is or has been in a similar situation and could share their experiences.
thanks in advance!
