Dental School Prereqs?
Yes, those are the baseline pre-dental requirements.





Also, you should talk to your college's pre-professional advisement office about the courses at your school, and ask them to open a file for you so you can have your instructors send recommendation letters there (ask your instructors for them at the end of each semester-- Do Not Procrastinate).





And if you need to find out about the specific requirements at the dental schools you want to apply to in a few years, the American Dental Education Association has a list of links to all the dental schools in the U.S. and Canada: http://www.adea.org





Hope this helps, and good luck!
Reply:I am not a dentist right now but I will be taking up biology this coming fall or spring and this is a good syllabus. Even though I'm not taking predental because where I go it is not offered these are basically the same classes that I will take. And the extra info they give you on the second page should be very helpful I printed it out for myself.
Reply:Here are a couple of great resources for students thinking of going into dentistry -- they can give you some specifics about the requirements of individual schools, as well as tips about applying and taking the admissions test. Also, every dental school has a website that lists their particular prereqs (some want more math courses, some require a certain number of hours of shadowing, etc), so when you've narrowed down the schools you want to apply to, check their sites to make sure you are meeting their specific requirements. The courses on your list will meet the requirements of most programs and prepare you well for the admissions test.
