Dental Hygiene school?

I really want to be a dental hygienist (I have currently been working as a dental assistant for two years) I am taking pre-req classes at a local community college but the hygiene program is extremely hard to get into in my area (portland, or) about 20 out of 200 applicants get in each year. Does any one know if there are locations where it is easier to get into hygiene school? I am willing to relocate. thanks for your help!

Dental Hygiene school?
I went to school in Tucson, AZ (Pima Comm. Coll). They enroll students on a first come first serve bases. The wait is about 1-2 years max to get it once you completed all your prereqs and applied to the program. There is no differential treatment for students with better grades (you still have to wait for your turn, you don't get "bumped up" on the list), but you have to have at least a C in all your prereq classes.





Check out their website: http://wc.pima.edu/dental/dental_hyg.htm





When you get your license in AZ you can also apply for a license in OR if you choose to go back, since both states do the WREB board exams (www.wreb.org). Go to General Info and click on "Member States" and "List of States accepting WREB Results" to find out where else you can move once you take the boards.





Good luck!
