<p>Out of high school, I did not have the grades available to apply for big schools since my main goal was reaching for soccer scholarships, in which I ended up receiving at a Junior College. I played two years and enjoyed it, but realized I wanted to do something more than soccer in which dentistry has stuck out to me. I decided I wanted to be a dentist Freshman year of college and began gen bio and gen chem, but received a B in both. It was too late to major in more science classes since I decided so late. Now, I transferred to the University of Georgia in hopes of majoring in Biology, but set my major to Business because I was scared that Biology may just be too unrealistic for me. I have read up enough to know that if you are not set in stone with your path to become a dentist, to not even try. I find myself capable of studying and doing well in science, but not well enough to stand out as a natural. Since I'm now a junior in college, is it even worth it to try and make a name for myself in the dental world? I feel like majoring in Biology will either be really good for me, or really bad. Please help me on deciding whether this is realistic or not. I have always been obsessed with teeth and going to the dentist, but now that I am getting older, I realize that it is not a flip-of-a-switch job. It will take a lot of effort but it takes more than effort. Help me. What should I do?</p>
<p>You don’t need to major in Biology in order to get into dental school, you just need to take all the required courses set out by whatever schools you are looking to apply to. I would suggest continuing with a major that you can do well to get a good GPA and then take more dental school prerequisite courses and get better grades in those. I think you have enough drive to be able to achieve the goal of becoming a dentist, you just need to work really hard at it.</p>
