<p>General Comments: My parents own the dental office so I'm kind of destined. But I'm making it clear to colleges that my decision to become a dentist is by choice and not by parental force. High school tennis team as won our league 34 years in a row...so pretty competitive. BTW, BU requires Math II and Chem and recommends a language for subject tests, so I'll submit those 3 including Bio. NYU doesn't require any extra.</p>
