Hello everyone,

Does it really matter where you complete your dental pre-reqs for dental school so long as they are completed at a 4-year institution?

For example: If I'm interested in attending Tufts School of Dental Medicine, would I be a more enticing applicant if I completed their post-bacc program?

I just finished undergrad and am currently trying to decide whether or not I should apply to post-bacc programs of schools I would like to attend (which aren't pay-out-of-pocket cheap) versus, for example, an in-state rated public state (not as well-known) 4-year institution, that IS affordable without taking out a loan/loans.

I am in the very beginning stages of the pre-dental process.

Thanks everyone.
