pre dental

I have read through a few prior threads but I believe I may be having what one would call a "coming to Jesus" moment. I have graduated college with all my pre-med classes taken, and have I believe around a 3.75 GPA, 33 old MCAT. I have been working as a scribe in a hospital for almost a year...

Hey SDN, I'm a 3rd year pre-dental student and was just thinking about some options for when I graduate. My GPA at the moment isn't too hot but I don't think its low enough/will be low enough by the time I graduate for a Post-Bacc. I was looking at the Global Medicine program at USC and it...

Hey guys, I'm only a Sophomore in high school, yet unlike many people in my grade, I already planned my future out. I want to become a dentist because of good pay, good hours, and making people happy. I always loved making others feel better about themselves, and a good smile needs a dentist to...
