Well, congratulations to those of you that have received acceptances! I am currently a teacher, but have decided to make a career change. Through my few years of experience, I have concluded that I am more passionate about helping people, rather than 'forcing' students to accept my help (if that makes sense- those of you who may have experience in education might agree). GPA stats are in my sig. I have taken courses in bio, physics and chem, but they were just general ed requirements for my major. I teach a science-type course, so have a ton of sciences, just not the right ones! Graduated college in 3 years by taking 22+ credits per semester. Anyways, I am pursuing an informal post-bacc at the nearby university, which also happens to house one of my top-choice dental schools. I have outlined my plan of attack for the prereqs I have remaining, but wanted to see what your thoughts were, first!
Summer 1 Session
-Gen Chem 1
-Gen Bio 1
Summer 2 Session
-Gen Chem 2
-Gen Bio 2
Fall Semester
-OChem 1
-A&P
-Physics 1
-Some kind of math review tutoring (I took college alg and stats a few years ago, so mostly refresher)
-Take the DAT (hopefully the only attempt I will need, but leaves enough time for retake?)
Spring Semester
-OChem 2
-Cell Bio
-Physics 2
-Retake DAT (if necessary)
Summer
-Apply!
Fall Semester
-Biochemistry
-Interviews (hopefully!)
Again, this is totally informal, so I am looking for any feedback- seriously...is it crazy? Do you recommend any other courses?
