Pre-Dentistry

Dental schools typically require students to have a minimum of three years of post-secondary education including courses in chemistry, organic chemistry, biology, and physics.

On many campuses, Pre-Dentistry students can be intense, grade-conscious, and competitive. Facing strong competition for admission to medical school, they cannot allow themselves too much leisure time to participate in extracurricular activities.
