<p>Could you guys voice your opinions on good pre-med and pre-dentistry colleges? (not sure if this makes sense)</p>
<p>basically you need to find good science school </p>
<p>like mit,jhu,ucla,ucsd,emory etc...</p>
<p>Is there such thing as pre-dental?</p>
<p>I would recommend Johns Hopkins for pre-med, altough it's very competitive.</p>
<p>no it is just courseload that is good for medical school or dental school</p>
<p>i hear georgetown has a good graduate school for dentistry so i would assume they would have a pre-dentistry program</p>
<p>Almost any top school will have a respected science program.</p>
<p>There is no correlation between the dental/medical school and it's undergrad program.</p>
<p>Really, the best school for pre-health anything, is the one that allows you to do the best you can at building your resume for the application process. So you need a place (and major) that you love being at, that isn't so difficult you don't have time for volunteering, research, involvement in on and off campus organizations, allows you to get a good GPA...and have a social life. The science on the MCAT is fairly basic, that pretty much any college worth it's salt will be able to give you the background you need. Plus there are plenty of prep courses out there from places like Kaplan and Princeton Review that can review all pertinent content.</p>
<p>Finally, choosing an undergrad school because you think it will help you get into medical school is not a smart way to go about selecting a college. The attrition rate for people entering as freshmen pre-meds is ridiculous (not saying you won't make it through) so you need to go where you will be happy.</p>
<p>this is ridiculous. There isn't a legitimate school in the US with a "pre dentistry or pre-med program." Pre-med/ dentistry is just four one year courses outside of your major (which can be anything from bio to english). Your GPA will matter alot, however. The best school is therefore the place that has the best overall reputation with the easiest pre-med classes. Places like Cornell, JHU, and Chicago are a nightmare unless you are a genius well above your peers.</p>
