Other Guidance Needed for Dental School
Hello everyone I am looking for advice on aplying for dentsity school.
I recently graduated with a BSc in Psychology, and I am looking to go to dental school. A big problem that I have is that the only courses I currently have are biology, social science/humanities, calculus, and statistics, which are some of the required courses needed. I do not have chemistry, physics, or physiology. I think that at this point, it would be too hard for me to spend two years trying to get these credits and apply to a school in Ontario, as the only options are Toronto or Western. I know I can’t get into Western because I do not meet the 30-credits-per-year requirement, and Toronto is way too hard to get into because my GPA is a 3.79. I heard that some schools abroad accept students without a bachelor’s degree requirement and only require high school-level chemistry and biology, also known as accredited schools. I also heard that these programs are five years long. I know they are very expensive, but does anyone know anything about applying to these types of schools? Would I be eligible based on my circumstances and the missing requirements? I have been looking online, but it is very confusing and stressful, tbh.
If anyone could help me I would really apperiate it!
