I do not understand how they can guarantee your admission into dental school. 3.33 is not a very competitive gpa with an 18 DAT. I am sure this is a misunderstanding because I am certain no school program can guarantee admissions into a dental program or else 95.639% of the people on here who are truly serious about dentistry would attempt it. Maybe you know some secret road no one else does.

I recommend looking at the pre-reqs required at the schools you want to apply. Go to a university and finish those courses (which may take more that 12 months). Try to get a 4.0 on them and study your butt off and get a 20+ on the DAT while gaining practical clinical experience along the way.

Basically, if this is what you want to do then work your butt off to achieve it.

Isn't it nice to be so well informed.

yes, there are programs that can guarantee admissions to D-school as long as you keep the required GPA usually 3.4 and 18 DAT. But you have to be inthe program since freshman year college. They dont take transfer students nor sophomore.

Wow I am impressed. Sorry I ever doubted. That's very cool.

Woah, I had no idea about that program either.

most schools have these posbac programs but usually you have to be invited to do it

But why limit yourself to one school? And such an expensive school for that matter.

this program is only for people who have no experience in the science field, you have to have taken less than 2 science classes be aware.
