Sociology Major

Members do not see this ad.

So I am going to be graduating from a state university this spring. I was a bio major but due to personal issues I could not keep up with the material and dropped the major and applied for Sociology. I really enjoy this major and did really well in the courses. However I am very passionate about Dentistry and would like to pursue dental school. What would be a good route for me to take to pursue my dreams into getting into a dental school. I feel that I am much more focused and ready to complete my prereqs (bio/chem/phys/ochem) within the coming years.

please help. I would really appreciate some feedback and guidance into getting back on track for dental school

It doesn't matter what you major in as long as you do well, especially in your pre-reqs.

Essentially, this. Keep your grades high, do the prereqs, do well on the DAT. Having a non-science major may prove beneficial as adcoms love diversity - the vast majority of predents have degrees in biology or chemistry.

My friend is majoring in music and plans on going to med school. Major doesn't mean anything. Just get the pre-reqs out of the way. Make sure you mix your science classes evenly throughout your normal classes because if they're too spread out you will forget everything and come time for the dat you won't be prepared at all
