Hi, I'm interested in becoming a dentist. I'm moving to Florida during winter break this December (I'm going to be a junior in high school), and I am going to apply to the University of Florida. I hear that the University of Florida College of Dentistry has some sort of program that allows you to finish your schooling in 7 years, instead of 8.
This is from their site:
"The University of Florida College of Dentistry has a program for outstanding college freshman who know they are interested in becoming dentists, the Honors Combined BS/DMD Program, that saves one year of college. Students accepted in this program complete a BS degree and a DMD degree in 7 years, instead of 8 years."
Therefore, I'm definitely interested in that.
Also, I just got an email from my mentorship program coordinator (our high school has a mentorship program), and she told me that I would be able to work with an orthodontist! This excites me because I'm thinking about being an orthodontist after finishing dental school and becoming a dentist.
My question is, how should I be prepared both for college and especially my upcoming mentorship? Thank you so much for your time
