Urgent: applying without Bachelor's degree

[hky4320]

Hi I am 2014 applicant.

I currently have 130 credits in biochemistry. I have to take only 1 more Gen ed class (not important health-related course such as jogging or yoga) in order to receive my B.S degree which I plan to finish at the end of this year (around Dec 2013).

Will this negatively affect me since I have not received my B.S? even if is just a Gen ed course?

No not at all. You just need your degree by the time you matriculate... Aka fall 2014.

Most people apply between their junior-senior years, at which point they obviously don't have a bachelor's degree. 🙂 You will have a gap year and actually be starting later than many of your classmates. For many, dental school begins immediately after undergraduate ends.

Hope this helps!

As the above posters have said, it won't matter in your situation.

It is always nice to finish what you started.
