...Im a freshman undergrad in community college. Im planning on transferring to one of the U of California.

My question is, Im not good at math; at all. But i have a deep desire for dentistry. I want to major in biology, but it requires calculus. Im thinking of doing psychology. Is there a way to avoid the calculus since i dont believe its a dental school requirement?

Whats all of your opinions on this. If you werent great at math, what would you do?


Thanks so much!

I think you should still try to improve your math skills by taking those classes. Although most dental school dont require math, there is math on the DAT.
 
Thanks! If you dont mind me asking, what did you major in? What best prepares a student?

Wow! very impressive. I too play piano! Which keeps making me want to become a music major. Ha, it would be odd to go to your dentists office and see that he has his BM in Piano! Id prob walk out.

I am really not all that. There are plenty more people on this forum that are way better applicants than me. Its just that you came on the wrong date because most of them are pbb busy celebrating right now.
