My advice to you is to enjoy the time you have until dental school starts. Once it starts it's like a train going at full speed without brakes and you will have wished you spent more time relaxing (this is coming from an OCD student whose life basically doesn't exist outside the library/school/lab). Reading ahead may help you here and there but in the long run it won't really put you too much ahead of your classmates. I will even go as far as to say that the extra science classes you may have taken will help you in that you've heard the stuff before, but after about the first few weeks, everyone is pretty much on the same playing field again. Not to say that it was a waste! The thing that makes dental school hard is managing the volume of information that's coming at you. The content you have probably heard before in your life (except for maybe the dental classes, but I'm mostly referring to basic sciences).

LLU is a great place. You will enjoy it!

Hope that helps!
