Hi guys, I need some advice here. I am planning to pursue dentistry as a non-traditional student. I plan to finish the prerequisite courses currently. Since I want to catch up as quickly as possible. Therefore, I plan to enroll in classes starting from the summer session. However, I heard dental schools don't like students to take classes during the summer session. They prefer the student to take classes during regular sessions (spring/fall). Is that true?
Another question is when dental schools choose candidates. If one traditional student and one non-traditional student have the same stats, does the school prefer the traditional student? Any advice to make a non-traditional student stand out in a short time (maybe 1.5 - 2 yrs), other than trying to get higher stats? Thanks in advance.
