UCLA Dental vs. other dental schools

<p>FROM THE UCB CAREER CENTER:
NOTE: If you plan to apply to UCLA Dental School, the chemistry courses that will fulfill their chemistry pre-req. can be fulfilled by completing:</p>

<p>Two semesters of General Chemistry:</p>

<p>Chemestry 1A/1AL & Chemistry 1B/1BL - 8 Units
OR</p>

<p>Chemistry 4A/4AL & 4B/4BL – 8 Units
One semester of Organic Chemistry: 3A/3AL – 5 Units</p>

<p>So, how do people apply to UCLA Dental and other dental schools? I don't get it. The chem track is usually Chem 1A, Chem 3A, Chem 3B, MCB 102. so do people just either do UCLA or do other schools?</p>

<p>it means you have to take that extra Chem 1B class if you want to apply to UCLA</p>

<p>if not, you can probably skip it</p>

<p>that sucks, uclads is next to harvard when it comes to dental schools. </p>

<p>It’s like the mecca of the west for predents.
It’s like the stink for a pig.
It’s like the It’s like the homo in the nucleophile for the lumo in the electrophile.
It’s like the oil in Gavin Newsoms hair.</p>

<p>wow…that got sidetracked fast…</p>

<p>if i recall correctly, you are a spring admit, you will have to take Chem 1B some spring/summer</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Ummm, there are plenty of students at UCSF who might disagree with you!</p>

<p>yeah, but from what I understand ucla is the stronger of the two in research, clinical (dental only, UCSFMS blows UCLAMSout of the water), and it’s more competitive to get into. I would provide evidence but ucla doesn’t seem to have admission statistics, ucsf on the other hand…[UCSF</a> School of Dentistry](<a href=“http://dentistry.ucsf.edu/admissions/admiss_program1-stats.html]UCSF”>http://dentistry.ucsf.edu/admissions/admiss_program1-stats.html)</p>

<p>both are exceptional school and we can debate for years which one is better. in the end no one really cares where you went.</p>
