Im wondering if you can get into a dental school with an associate degree. Does it always have to be bachelors degree? Sorry I am really new to these.

The chances of an applicant getting into dental school without a bachelors is EXTREMELY small.
Some schools only require 90 credit hours with the pre-reqs but even then most students that matriculate have at least a bachelors.

@irishmom should know more about this than the average SDNer

Less than 1% of current d1's only have an associates degree.

Yeah I know, but @irishmom went from RDH to dental school so even if she did have to get a bachelor's in addition to her associates she would make a great mentor/sounding board to OP.

Just trying to help people out the best that I can, despite what that person in the thread asking about constants and equations seems to think. 😉

Heh gotcha 😀
