strength of chemistry, career in dentistry

<p>I'm considering majoring in either chemistry or biochemistry, and down the road, a career in dentistry.
Can anybody give me some insight on the strength of the chem/biochem majors/programs at any of the following universities: UPenn, Cornell, WashU, Northwestern, and Carnegie Mellon.</p>

<p>Any relevant comment is appreciated.</p>

<p>i was told that washU is changing the biochem major requirements--making it slightly easier (not sure when its gonna take effect though)</p>
