So I'm looking at post-bacc programs to apply to because I want to be a dentist. I know that the requirements are generally the same whether you want to be a doctor or dentist, so I have some questions

Temple - is this competitive? Do they have stats anywhere? do a lot of people stay in the program?
Drexel - do they have good retention rate for their students?
Bryn Mawr - application says "physicians" -- does that include dentists?
UPenn - is it worth it?

Thanks....

I'm wondering if these schools have links to dental schools. I have some other questions that I don't know if anyone can answer....

Temple - is this competitive? Do they have stats anywhere? do a lot of people stay in the program?
Drexel - anybody know percent of pre-dental vs. pre-med students? do they have good retention rate for their students?
Bryn Mawr - application says "physicians" -- does that include dentists?
UPenn - is it worth it?

Thanks....
