<p>Hey Guys , I know its like Feb but I still wanna know if there are any good predental schools out there. I applied to UOP but its too hard to get into. Any other schools with a good predental program ? </p>
<p>Thanks, and that I can still apply to.
Does anyone know about Creighton University ?
I was thinking of applying ..... Anything good about it?</p>

<p>I can not recommend a good pre-dental school, however I can offer some more general advice. It is a better choice to get an undergraduate degree in a basic/general science rather than try to do some sort of pre-professional program. Find a school with a decent biology or maybe biochemistry program. </p>
<p>Though others likely disagree, I am of the philosophy that most state universities are decent enough places if you are willing to make it so, and they are usually cheaper, too. As such, I would find one that offers a biology or biochem degree, has a decent amount of faculty in those departments, and apply. Dental school will put you in a great deal of debt and it is not worth accruing a huge amount of debt from your undergrad.</p>
<p>Even though that did not answer you question, I hope it did help some!</p>
<p>LOL what if money is not an issue</p>
<p>Well, if you ignore the comments about money, then, my advice still stands, but I will summarize. Predental is just a list of required courses needed for admission to dental school. If I recall, the requirements are something like two semester of biology with labs, two semesters of chemistry with labs, two semesters of organic chemistry with labs, two semester of physics with labs, and two semesters of calculus. Individual dental schools may have their own special requirements, but you would have to look at specific schools for those, and many stick with these general requirements. Check out the topics covered under the DAT and you will see that it is basically just these courses. Complete those requirements and your major does not matter. However, a biological science allowing a general biology and chemistry background with a slant on human biology is what most people do. These majors tend to be bio, biochem, etc, but you could study English if you wanted to, assuming you took the courses mentioned previously. So long as you attend a university with a decently sized biology, biochem, and chemistry programs so that it offers courses that meet all the prerequisites (i.e. basically every state university flagship campus and a boat load of other public and private schools), the exact school does not really matter. Thus, you can just about go anywhere, do well, take the small handful of courses needed to get into dental school, and that is it.</p>
<p>This sort of says the same thing I did, but you might look through it anyway.</p>

<p>Great thank you!</p>
