Hi guys. Quick question since I have seen pepole posting about this. I have decided to go to dental school my senior year in college. Since I basically had all the reqs I needed to graduate I am only taking Orgo I and Orgo II in fall and sping semsters respectively while working. I did not graduat because by having the most credits tright now I hav ean ealry registration date so I can get the best professors. Do you guys think that this wil llook suspicious or I will have trouble getting in becaues of this?

Makes sense to me. As long as you do get your bachelors before you enter dental school I don't see any problem. If anyone asks just explain it like you did. But do get your bachelors. If I was on an admissions committee I'd never let any applicant who hadn't completed a bachelors degree matriculate no matter how high his/her GPA or DAT was.

I would do what you are doing if I could do it over again. I agree with the last post in that you should explain why you did it this way, and also that you should finish up your bachelors.

The one thing that I wouldn't like, would be the self inflicted pressure to have to get A's on the two courses that I was taking...even if I was working full time. Hopefully you're not as neurotic as I can be.

thanks guys. So basically you are saying it's okay right? And I should explain it if asked at the interview right not on my personal statement or something?

And yeah man I feel the pressure like crazy since I am taking very few courses I have to get an A!!! And of course I am going to def. get my BBA. Thanks evreyone for your time, and info.
