Okay, so I am asking this because I am genuinely concerned. I am currently a senior in high school and I will be making decisions on where I will go very soon.
I have BU, Brandeis, Northeastern, or MCPHS in mind. Only MCPHS offers me a generous amount of money, but it is NOT a well known school AT ALL (note that all these schools are private). I got accepted to their Bachelor of Science Pre-medical and Health Studies program, so I would be fulfilling my pre-dental requirements if I do go there. None of the other schools are giving me much money. I'd be paying 55+ thous. a year... I just can't really afford that, and plus 4 years of dental school. I guess I can get loans...but is it worth it? I want to be able to do well and maintain a high science GPA as well. So...yea.
(Plus...MCPHS claims on their website that 74% of the students in their premed program got accepted into med/dental school. So why are they still so unknown/underrated?)
So my question is, if I maintain a 3.6+ GPA at MCPHS, a DAT score of 20+, and some nice internship/E.C's, will I have a good shot for dental admissions? I'm only looking at BU dental school or Tufts dental school. And of course....I will be studying like crazy in college. No doubt.
Please help me out. This means a lot to me. Thanks!
