That means you’ll also need a solid foundation in organic chemistry, biochemistry, general chemistry, physics, psychology, sociology, and critical analysis and reasoning skills. Keep in mind that biology is only one of the integrated subjects tested on the MCAT, and that any given passage might test your knowledge of how multiple subject areas relate to one another. Pre-med students often ask if majoring in biology will help them do better on the MCAT. However, there are a significant number of people entering medical school who majored in engineering, other natural sciences such as physics or chemistry, and even the humanities.
Why not major in a science? There is certainly nothing wrong with majoring in biology or something else which includes technical knowledge, but it’s important to remember that dentistry has many aspects to it, not just science.It’s not surprising that most people who apply to medical school choose to major in biology after all, biology is the basis for physiology and other medical principles. As such, you have a large degree of freedom when it comes to choosing a major which you will substitute in for “pre-dentistry.” You cannot major in “pre-law” or in “pre-med,” and likewise, you cannot major in “pre-dentistry.” There is no such major. Dentistry, like law or medicine, doesn’t have a “pre-” major. There is no reason at all you shouldn’t major in business if you are aiming to go into dental school. Would they rather I had something scientific under my belt, like biology or something? Will they look down on my business degree? I’d hate to actually damage my chances."
Only I need to know now of course whether that’s a good choice for my degree when it comes to actually applying for dental school.
It’s a nice general major that will give me a degree and act as sort of a backup plan if something should fall through. That’s why I kind of would like to major in business. It would be a dream come true for me, but I will be honest, I kind of would like a fall back plan in case that fails (it’s not entirely that I’m worried I won’t be accepted I am more concerned about whether I will have the money to pay for it all).
"I have wanted to go to dental school my whole life.
