Hey there,
I, as everyone in this forum, want to get into dental school. In the end I decided to try Canada over the UK, and I'm trying to wrap my head around the whole undergraduate system. From what I gather, to get into dental school, you need to both: have a very good GPA and write the DAT well.
I'm currently deciding on which degree to do. A general BSc with a biological sciences major (seems far too general imo) and some simple minor (to bump up the GPA); or a BSc with specialization/honors - here we can choose between interesting stuff like pharmacology, molecular genetics, cell biology, immunology, physiology, bioinformatics etc.
Which one is more useful for dental school? I'm drifting towards the second since the knowledge might be useful (not sure if for the DAT itself), but the general BSc might be better since I'm guessing it's easier and would bump up my GPA.
Could someone share their opinions on the subject?
