I need to take my OChem classes still, and Biochem. I am planning to do that over the next school year.
It's June 2020, there is an "accelerated Dental Assisting" program in my area starting soon.
I'm contemplating if I should do that too?
How much could that help my application?
P.S.: I wouldn't necessarily have a lot of time to actually work after certification unless I can get daycare for the kids (but covid, so unsure when that would happen, or if any office needs someone strictly after 5pm) (of course once covid gets a little less intense, etc I would consider daycare, if this type of exposure helps enough)
P.P.S: I am currently finishing a Computer Information Degree, does that look good at all? Should I just stop?
Any advice or insight would be great.
P.P.P.S: If it helps at all my schools of choice would be any in Texas or DCG (in Georgia) (places I have lived most of my life (I will apply everywhere though))
