Is dental school really hard to get into in Texas?
This is something that I have heard as well, but I'm sure that the answer changes a bit from year-to-year. Of course there are no good comparative studies about which is more difficult to get into, and certainly no studies in a single state. However, if it is what you want to do, you need to go for it. Both educational paths are only for people focused enough to dedicate their lives to their education and betterment... not just for 4 years after college. I have seen it firsthand. When people who should not be in dental or medical school are accepted, those people's lives become a living hell. Failing to get into professional school is not NEARLY as traumatic as failing IN professional school. Work hard. Apply to plenty of schools. Befriend a dentist through observation or assisting while in college. If it is meant to be, it will happen...maybe not on the first try, but it will happen. Good luck to you. I hope this helps.
Reply:My advice to you is to study hard. The better the grades you get the better chance you have. And there are schools outside of texas...
Reply:I have also heard that dental school admissions are harder than medical school these days. A few schools have closed due to financial and other considerations and it is more competitive.
