Hi everyone, this is my first post on here and hope I can get some insight from everyone on here!
I’m about to graduate (in about a year) with a degree in Sociology and Spanish. Early last year I reflected upon what I really wanted to do and came to terms that I really wanted to pursue a dental career. Right now, I feel like it’s too late to try and finish my two bachelor’s degrees and also try to finish my pre-requisits needed to apply to a dental school. I feel like it’s too late for me to try to finish the pre-reqs, I honestly wouldn’t mind if it took me longer to graduate but I want to make sure that I’m a competitive applicant and for that, I don’t know if trying to finish off 2 majors and the pre-reqs would be a good choice.
I wanted to know if it’s possible to graduate and then go back to school to do my pre-reqs?
Because of my given situation I feel like it would be better for me to graduate and then go back to school afterwards but I was wondering if I could go back just to a Community College instead?
After I graduate, can I go to a CC and get my pre-reqs done there? Would I just have to do the pre-reqs or would I have to finish another major/minor (have to transfer to a 4 year uni)? I can’t seem to find much info online about this. I just wanted to know if it’s possible to do my pre-reqs after I graduate or if I should just take longer to graduate and try to finish them now?
Personally, I feel like I would be a better candidate if I “started over” instead of trying to cram everything right now. However, I don’t know if it’s possible for me to do so and how would I go about applying to school after I already graduated, I’m not really interested in a Master’s program, I’d rather do undergraduate school again or just take the pre-reqs (if it’s possible).
Does anyone have any input/advice on this? Has anyone ever gone through something similar? Does it seem unrealistic? Any input or advice would be greatly appreciated because I want to see if it is possible for me to accomplish it.
Thank you so much in advanced!
