I was wondering if anyone was currently looking or is majoring in one or the other. I would like to hear what you guys have to say about it.
Unless it is required for your major, Physics is pre-med since it is a tested category on the MCAT. Plus, if you can't do well in physics it may drag your BCP GPA down. Anything other than gen, orgo, or biochem would likely be overkill for dental school, I would recommend upper level bio- physio, histo, anatomy, etc.
dont most dental schools require physics? therefore, you need to take physics regardless?
i heard physics is also important for dental school.
I envy physics majors. If my college offered physics major, I woul have been majoring in it. I would definitly recommed physics major. Why? It is one of the toughest major. That is not to discourage you. But the skills that you develop as a physics major are essential for sucess in every type of science. Physics is about the world around you, you will come to learn every bit and piece of this world in way that your fellow business majors will never think of. Yes, your life will be hell. The courses are very difficult and sometimes the concepts are very abstract (Quantum mechanics?). But I would still do it if Had the opportunity to do so. By the way, I am not a physics major. (But would love to be one).
And there are very few people who go down this path. So you will definity be a unique one if you do choose physics major.
Physics (and math) majors rule!!!
Definity do it, if you have the ability, talent, and the COURAGE to do so.
If you value your 4.0 GPA, than yes go for business or communcation. But I personally value a physics major with a 2.7 more than a busines, english ...major with a 3.5.
Do Chemistry better yet biochem. Your major will be in one of the tougher classes you will have in dental school, requirements for the class are molecular, cell, and micro, two very useful classes, as well as physical chemistry which can satisfy your physics craving.
