Hey all
I'm just wondering if any of you out there female 'pre-dentists' are planning on doing specialization. Of course we should worry about this when we actually even get into dentistry right?
but the reason I'm asking this is I know that it is much easier to get into specialization if you go to a states school rather than UBC (Canadian school).
I'm attending UBC right now as an undergrad and because it is cheaper, and because my family lives here it would be better for me to go here financially. However, if I want to do specialization it would be better to go to states school.
(UBC apparently sucks at sending students to specialization)
Why I ask as a female? Because we have a thing called 'pregnancy'. If I actually do specialization (which I really would like to do) I will be graduating earliest at an age of 28.
As we all know it is best for the child for us to get pregnant between age of early 20's to maybe early 30's. This means if I want a child of my own I will have a chance to work maximum of 2~3years before I get pregnant.
I ask this because if I end up not doing specialization I will just want to go to UBC which has different requirements than state school. They barely look at EC and only DAT and GPA. I'm in 4th year now (didn't apply to states schools yet) and I would very much like to get some opinions on what other female or male dent/predent students and dentists think!
