How can I get into Dental School?!


Question: How can I get into Dental School?
After I recieved my Associate of Arts degree from junior college, I was still undecided in terms of a career choice. So i stayed for another year in junior college taking science courses(hoping theyll be helpful later on). Now i want to get into Baylor College of Dentistry, and I'm unsure of what to do next. Should i stay for another year in junior college(is this allow?) to finish taking the required courses before applying to Baylor(which will take another year) or transfer to a university for those courses and then getting into Baylor???

You usually need at LEAST 2 years of science but since dental schools tend to be competitive, a full Bachelor of Science is recommended. Dentistry is a demanding and difficult course so a strong background in science would be recommended.

The competition to be accepted into dental school is very great. The better prepared you, are the better your chances of acceptance so you need to graduate from a college with a high GPA. You will also need to take the dental aptitude test [DAT] before applying. When you do finally have the requirements, apply to as many schools as you can afford and also be prepared for major expenses once you are accepted.
