Hello guys,
I have Master's degree in electrical engineering and after researching a lot and asking so many questions in different forums finally I decided to change my career to dentistry. My GPA in BS is 3.7 and my GPA in MS is 3.73. I am taking the prerequisite courses now. Because of my background I have already had the prerequisite courses in Physics. I took one course in English and one course in Biology. I have to take 14 credits in Chemistry and 5 more credits in Biology to have all the prerequisite courses. I am planning to take these courses in Summer 2014, Fall 2014 and probably in Spring 2014. Because I work full time I can't take the courses faster than this. I live in California and one of the schools which I have plan to apply to is UCLA. According to their deadline the application time starts June 1st.
There are my questions:
1. Which year is better for me to apply for? Should I apply June 2014?
2. When is the best time for me to take the DAT exam?
3. Should I send all the transcripts of my prerequisite courses at the time of applying?
Thanks,
