What is the process after you get your BA?

Pre-Dentistry & Dental School
1

<p>I am currently attending Santa Monica College. It has been one year this semester, and I will be done with all my IGETC classes to transfer to UC by this fall 2014. I am looking to transfer by next fall 2015 with history major to get a BA.</p>

<p>But I am actually planning to do pre-dentistry or pre-pharmacist but I just wanted to get my BA in history to make sure I have high GPA. Would that look bad when i apply for dental school? (Would it be better to do philosophy or anthropology?)</p>

<p>And most importantly, how does it work when I transfer to UC with history major? Do i go back to community college to take all my prerequistes for pre-dental (Because i haven't taken those perquisites for pre-dental)? Or do I take those classes at UC even though I didn't get into that UC school for pre-dental? </p>

<p>You can try to do the dental prereqs at an UC… and, in fact, humanities and social sciences are not that abundant in dental school applicant pools.</p>

<p>So are you saying that getting BA in history is not a good idea ?</p>

<p>History will make you stand out somewhat for dental school…</p>

<p>Oh okay, so just to make sure. If i transfer to any UC with history major, do I have to come back to community college to take the prerequisites since i haven’t taken any? And the prerequisites i have to take at UC i transfer to, would they let me even though I am history major? thank you
