Undergrad Question

I will be starting college in August at the age of 25 and I have a huge desire and interest in becoming a dentist. My Gen eds will be completed at a junior college and then transferred to UIC for completion. Now my question(s) are should I skip the associates and go straight for the Bachelors? What was your major and why did you choose it? What was your GPA in your math and sciences when you were accepted into dental school?
Thanks in advance.

You don't need an associates, it's pretty useless when we are talking about dental schools.
Try to take most of your science classes at UIC than at the junior college and you shouldn't have too many issues. I went to UIC and I will say the chemistry/bio courses are notoriously difficult, so study hard.

As for the rest of your questions, your better off browsing predents.com
