Do you just drop out?

I was just wondering what people do when they are doing a masters program (MHA or MS) and find that they are accepted at a dental school? Do you drop out of your masters and join d.school? Earlier you cd defer admission for a year. Now, I dont think a lot of universities allow deferring admission. Anyone with experience regarding this, pls share your input. thanks...

do you have the option of deferring the program you are in? I did an MBA and there were people who left and came back years later. Or, can they let you do it online? Dds programs are getting so competitive every year, I don't think you should risk not going

Question is why would you even apply for dental school while being on a unfinished masters program... In my point of view it comes down to a matter of priority.

I know people that was accepted to an international dentist program right after finishing a masters, perfect timing.

If you are in this kind os situation you should ask directly to the head of admissions of the school, because even though someone here might have been on this situation things tend to change from year to another.

Good luck. 😉

Ultimately, masters are a business and if you are a self pay they will not want to lose the money. Look through the school handbook and see what rules are for deferring. Sometimes they give time period for how long you can be out. Doesn't hurt to try, find an academic advisor and ask.
Also talk to the dds school you were accepted in to and see what they say about deferring.
