USC specific questions/preparing for dental school

[Xdentallos]

Hi guys. I wasn’t sure where to put this but I got accepted into the USC D.D.S program!! And had a few questions to help me prepare.

What subjects do you recommend studying up on prior to the first week off class? I was thinking anatomy of the head/mouth. But should I brush up on chemistry and other things for example?

Also does anyone know how late into the curriculum you start doing clinical hands on things (at USC)? I saw something that said “diagnosis rotation” early on but not sure what that entails.

For prior USC dental students what was your general class schedule? Like earliest class and latest class.

Any other tips even general for preparing to begin dental school are appreciated!
