Poll: Was dent school plan B?

[USUaggie]

This has come up in a few threads and I'm just wondering if there's much truth to it - so, here are the options

Never mind, post on the real one I just made. 😳

here we go again. let the trolling begin.

for me, yep. dentistry was the alternate option. i couldnt get into med school, PA school, pharmacy, barber school, a job at wal mart, etc etc. i just couldnt do it. those were all too challenging for me so i picked dentisry.

I started off pre-dental, went in a different direction and then decided that it wasn't what I wanted, did some careful research/career planning and went back to dentistry. I don't know if I would call it plan B for me because I didn't fallback onto dentistry - I simply returned to my original goal. In regards to the whole 'dental school is filled with med-school dropouts' argument I have met a lot more students that came from backgrounds in engineering, the military, business and finance than from a pre-med one.

No no no no, I want these posts on the other one I started 5 minutes later that has the real poll on it. this one should be closed because it's a goof up. Oh, wait, I can close my own thread now that I'm a donor. Closing.
