I am just curious about the benefits of each career path. I am interested in both, and my father is a rather successful GP.

Hi everyone, It is known that dental schools prefer it when students take their pre reqs at a 4 year institution over a cc. But how would for instance a bio or chem major transfer, since most of the pre reqs are actually classes you have to take to even transfer to a university? This is really...
