What are the requirments for dental school?
What you should do is get a good foundation in sciences in High school, it makes later things easier. Try to at least take Chem I, Bio I and II, Physics I and maybe chem II





In college:


major in ANYTHING, seriously it doesnt matter..i like to recommend psychology. You can get A's in your major with limited effort (not that its easy, but its not analytical chem) you need to take the following courses as well (your electives)


2 x semester Bio w/lab


2 x semester Chem w / lab


2 x semester organic chem w / lab


2 x semester physics with lab


you may wish to further your science GPA by taking additional courses such as biochem, anatomy, etc





You will need to or at least i implore you to shadow a dentist, perhaps getting a letter of recommendation





you should also do a little research for a bio or chem professor in their lab (then they write you a letter of rec)





keep your grades up, that why i recommend an easier overall major...your gpa is divided into your "GPA" and SCI GPA which is your courses listed above





Take the Dental Admissions Test (DAT) in your junior year, and take it again if you want (try not for more than twice)





remember that whatever school you go to, your a dentist, so dont get hung up on the dream school if you get into a good state school (that goes for undergrad as well)





Hope that outlines it
Reply:Why don't you talk to your school counselor? High school has its own set of standards to graduate, so you'd be looking more at specific choices in college.....
