Answers:
Any college that offers pre-health-professions courses will do.
While in college, you need to:
- Maintain a good GPA. 3.0 and up.
- Maintain a good science GPA. 3.0 and up.
- Take all of the pre-health courses and do well in them.
- Promptly get your recommendation letters, especially from the science instructors. You must get the recommendations at the end of each semester and have them sent directly to the pre-professional advisement office in your college. DO NOT wait until you are about to graduate.
- Take your DATs during your 3rd year in college, and do well in them.
- Research which dental schools you want to apply to. Remember that some schools rarely accept anyone from outside their region. Send in your AADSAS application in your 4th year.
Hope this helps, and good luck.
