Hi everyone,
1) I appreciate whoever reads this and responds to me. I am almost 24 years old, and will have a BS in Health Sciences by this December. I have only taken anatomy, physiology, microbiology, and 1 year of general chemistry. I still have to take physics, Ochem, and General Bio, which is a lot. Is it worth going for dental school? By the time I will apply I will be like 26 years old, plus another 4 years is 30 years old, in debt 200k+.
2) How hard is dental school? I know that everybody asks this, but I mean, is it the material or volume? Do you need a strong background in Ochem in order to do well in dental school for example?
3) Lastly, how can I study for the DAT? To be completely honest, my gen chem teachers SUCKED, and I know I do not have a good foundation. Is it better to read the book and teach myself, do a Kaplan course, or re-take the entire sequence, or just get a private tutor?
4) I really wanna go to USC, so bad! That is my dream school, IS ANYONE IN MY SHOES??
OPINIONS PLEASE, OPINIONS FROM DENTAL STUDENTS & DENTISTS
