Does anyone know which program(s) would be best to look into. I'm planning to go to dental school and would like to choose a program that best prepares me for dental school specifically. Also, if a program is much easier or much harder than the rest, that would be helpful to know.

Thanks everyone!

look for my posts in this thread, there should be a bunch of them. Cruise through that and if you have questions either post-em here or PM me. I would go into more detail but I have a huge Cardio exam tommorrow that is breathing down my neck and I dont quite have time.

the long and short of it is: 3 main programs are Anatomy, physiology and biochemistry. All take basically the same core classes. Anatomy has by far the hardest elective. Biochemistry and phys have a little more autonomy in the elective choice.

Anatomy is the most respected but sometimes the elective (histology) ends up destroying people's GPAs. They have to put in a significant amt of time into that course and not only do their grades in that course end up being mediocre but it can also limit the amt of time you have to study for the other classes bringing down those grades too.
