Post baccalaureate programs for Dental School?

[dut99002]

Does anyone know or have any experience with post baccalaureate programs for dental schools? I'm considering doing a major career change from business and have to do all of the prereq science classes (hence applying for a post bac. program). There are post bacclaureate programs at lots of major universities like Penn, Columbia, Harvard, Northwestern, etc., but they're mainly geared towards pre med students I'm thinking. I'm just looking to see if anyone has used one of these programs for pre dentistry instead. Any insights would be great!

I take it by the info under your screen name, you're from Dallas. Have you checked Baylor's summer enrichment program?

or their post bac program?

From what I hear, a majority of the people who participate in those programs and apply to Baylor, get accepted. 🙂

^^^ plus Baylor's tution for instate is like 6500/year. I think this is the cheapest dental school out there.
