Hello everyone, my name is henry. I am currently a RN with an associate's of science nursing degree. I started to have interest in becoming a doctor in dentistry recently because I love what dentist do and second, I dont like working under a doctor so I figured why not be a doctor? doctor of dentistry. I originally wanted to get my master's degree in nurse anesthesia. I'm not completely blowing off becoming a CRNA (nurse anethetist) yet...my plan is to get my BSN (bachelor's of science, major in nursing) and complete all the remaining pre-reqs needed to the DMD or DDS program..But i have a few questions that I wish you guys can help me out with.
1) I want to get my bachelors degree in nursing since I already have my asn degree, is the bsn degree acceptable? Would someone with a bachelors degree in science (chem, biology and etc.) have a better chance of getting into your program than someone with a bsn?
2) 8 years ago, I got 2 F's in eng and anthro 101 and a few W's in some classes (not science or math classes). I went back to college with a better and more focused attitude in fall 2007 and raised my overall gpa to 3.75 and science gpa of 3.6. Will my past gpa look bad?
3) Regarding the recommended courses but not required (histology, genetics and etc.) is there anyone here got accepted to a DMD/DDS program without taking the recommended upper division science courses and only took the pre-reqs classes REQUIRED?
4) Should I get a BSN degree or another bachelor's degree like in chem, microbiology and etc?
I just feel so confused with what to do...or will i even be qualified to be a dentist...
