Hey Guys,

I am an international student and already have a Bachelor Degree. Presently I am taking courses( pre-requisites and other advanced courses) at my local university. I am working towards getting atleast 90 credit hours before next fall and for this I had to sign up as a Degree-seeking student ( as I had some transfer courses). My question is should I imply in my application that I am a Degree-seeking student or just a non-degree student. All I am concerned now is how the ADCOMS will see me as a candidate because I may not complete my degree by time I get into a dental school. Will they consider me a prospective candidate because I will 90 credit hours or will they view that as a negative point in my application as I may not complete my degree.What are the pros and cons of specifying as a degree-seeking or a non-degree student? Please help me out guys......some advice for your fellow SDNer.....

Thanks in advance....

If you are enrolled as a "degree seeking" student I think you should put that on your application.

You could make a note somewhere else in your application that you will not be finished with your degree by matriculation.
