So, i think its safe to say that the majority of dental school applicants have their bio degrees. And i think, for the most part (dont flame me about this! lol), this is because the bio degree also completes all the pre reqs to dental school, so your killing two birds with one stone, basically.
Anyways, i'd say that getting your bio degree is the smarter route if your trying to get to dental school as quick as possible.
But i think i would say that getting a Business Degree before going to dental school, might possibly be the better idea. I have a few reasons for this.
One of which, is: its always nice to have a backup plan. if everything goes wrong, you dont get into d school, or your plans change (they do a lot of the time), i think that having a Business Degree is a nice thing to have. Another reason i think having a Business degree is a , is because, a lot of being a dentist, has to do with the business side of things, and i think it would put you at an advantage to have a business degree behind your DDS, and would make running your own office/etc easier, and you would be more knowledgable etc ofcourse.
I was thinking of going along with the Bio degree, but i think i've decided im going to go with the Business degree, and then, i guess, id have to stay an extra two years after i get my degree? thats the only con, id say, but id also say, that its worth it, for me atleast.
Any input on this? Im completely changing my whole plan around because of these thoughts, and this way, i could get my business degree, then take a year of sciences, take the DAT that summer (with everything fresh in my head), and then do another year of sciences. This way, i would have all of my pre-reqs done in 2 years/dat done/business degree behind me, and be ready to apply!
any light-shedding would be
