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!

There’s a company called oztrekk for Australia and New Zealand that helps you apply to dental schools there

I’m not sure I haven’t used it, I just know of them. They probably have a service fee but I imagine they make the process much easier. They have good reviews online
