I am a sophomore english major and I had been planning on applying to medical school...however, after countless hours of working with a physician over the past two summers I am beginning to think that the job is not for me...I had been considering applying to dental school all along, but recently the idea has become increasingly appealing to me...I plan on studying this summer and taking the DATs at the end of the summer or in early fall...my problem is is that ive been working with a physician all this time and have no dental experience...my question is, how much emphasis do dental schools put on experience in the field...will I have enough time to gain experience if I apply next spring/summer...I have an excellent gpa/sci gpa...if I get good scores on the DAT, is a maybe a semesters worth of shadowing long enough to get into a good dental school?...(I also have research experience and volunteer experience)
