Any non-traditional majors (non-natural sciences) here?

[Mykani]

Hi all!

I was just curious how many non-traditional (not biology/chemistry/etc.) pre-dents are on this forum. What sort of classes/course load do you guys have? Any upper bios/ interesting courses you would recommend ?

Me: Psychology.

Take Biochem, Anatomy, Physiology, and Microbiology.

Philosophy and History of Math and Science for me. I am only taking Biochem myself, it is all I have time for (hopefully).

I'm fine arts major with emphasis on graffiti. 4 interviews so far. But honestly being unique and non traditional didn't help me at all I think. If anything impretty sure it affected me negatively. I woud recommend taking sculpture. Because dentistry is sculpture art. You can have all the dental knowledge but if you lack manual dex you can't be a good dentist sry I talk alot

I'm a Finance major.

I'm taking A&P courses, along with Genetics, Biochem, Microbio, etc. Just take as many as you can and I think you will be OK.

[Barking Lamb]

Anthropology major; in my final year I just tried to knock out all the pre-requisites. I had a late application and I'm still getting interviews.

 

[DrFelt]

I did a Spanish degree

 

[SeattleRDH]

Bachelor of Music in percussion performance.
Associates in dental hygiene.
I just took the required prereqs (which included biochem and micro).
I'm hoping my 4 years experience in restorative hygiene makes up for the lack of upper level sciences.

Cool! Oh I've heard about biochemistry and microbiology as super useful.

In my school there's actually a lot of restrictions on taking upper bio courses.. basically I have to go through two semesters of molecular cell biology to get to microbiology, genetics, etc...

Do you think taking a nursing class's microbiology will suffice? I know it won't count onto my science gpa but it's still some supplementary knowledge for dental school right? (And hopefully can satisfy requirements? I'm in a process of emailing schools my syllabus actually)

there's a reason you have to take lots of pre-req science before taking microbio and some of the other upper-divs..

they assume you know a lot and dont tend to go slow

B.A. History

 

[corymartin2012]

How is it take a History major? Is it difficult adding in the pre-reqs and upper level? Also what concentration are you? World, American, European? Sorry for so many questions

 

[FLOSS UR TEETH]

fyi chemistry majors have hardly any time to take upper level bios except for biochem so i can add sum info..

Im trying to squeeze in microbiology, physiology, anatomy, and an immunology/virology/or histology class.. these are basically after I graduate tho lol.. i know at my school they make sure u stay busy with chemistry so i dont know about other schools, but i wish i had more chances to take bio classes..

History major over here. I didn't take any other upper level science courses, but I did take a lot of health policy/stats/epidemiology courses. I thought that if you have a good DAT science score you didn't need to prove anything else by taking more science classes.
