Ba Or Bs

😳I WAS WONDERING IF SOME ONE CAN TELL ME WHICH ONE IS BETTER BA OR BS? OR IT DOES NOT MATTER. JUST HAVING A BA WOULD BE ENOUGH.

Degree does not matter, but make sure you take the prereqs (courses) that dental schools require.

Choose the one that you are most comfortable with. Don't go with a biology degree just because of 80%+ students out there do it to get to dental school. Work on something that you like, college is the time that you should choose what to do... no the other way around.
Good luck

My advisor told me that students who have a BS tend pursue a PhD and do research. BA is enough for med/denal school as long as you have all the prereqs.

I don't know how much truth there is to that

I think they meant to say that a BS is more indepth and a BA is sufficient for professional school.

I don't think this is true at all.
I went to a small liberal arts college and my college only offers BA.
I was a double major in Biology and Mathematics but all I received was BA.

I don't think graduate schools would have looked at my degree and said it was any less than another applicant who got his/her BS degree from majoing in Biology or something.

I don't think dental schools and other schools distinguish BS from BA or the other way around. 🙂😀😎

At my school I would've had to take additional stuff to get a BA. Like I think you had to take like a year of foreign language or something. I didn't want a BA so I didn't really care. I would always think "who would want a BA in a hard science?" It doesn't make sense.

I was a BS in Chemistry until my senior year I changed to a BA...a BS is waaaay harder to obtain and everyone knows that...but whether or not it makes a big difference I am not sure b/c I got in with a BA. 😀

Tell your advisor he/she need to lay off the pipe.

Basically they were just saying don't waste your time with a BS when all you need is a BA. I'm not complaining since my school has 100% placement for dental school...heh watch me be the exception 🙄
