Thinking Dental School...

Graduated in 2008 with a BA in Biology, Overall GPA 3.6, Science GPA 3.64.

I applied and got into Physical Therapy school (twice), but it just didn't feel like the right decision - cost of programs are high, compensation isn't great, lack of autonomy,etc.

I have worked in a hospital for a year and have taught science at a private school for the past year, this being year two. I've thought about med school, but the road seems terribly long. I've never really considered dental school until the past year. It really intrigues me.

I've taken:
Gen Chem
O-Chem I & II
Physics I & II
Calculus I
A & P I & II
Tons of Bio

Looking for advice and missing requirements - Biochem? I have not taken a DAT yet.

Take the DAT, and Apply.

You've done all the pre-meds / pre-dents (assuming both GCs were taken along with their labs)

Biochemistry is NOT required by most dental school...its just a recommended course

This + shadowing and volunteering.
