Dentistry - great field to be in if you're a sciencey kinda person.





First of all - you need to go to a college (earn your bachelors) in a school that has a pre dental program. There are a lot of schools that have pre dental programs. Some affordable colleges are the CUNY and SUNY colleges. It's a little over $4,000/year. (Which is practically nothing. Apply for scholarships and it will be almost free, you'd just have to pay for books)


Some CUNY's that have pre dental:


- CUNY Queens


- CUNY York


- CUNY Hunter


Some SUNY's that have pre dental:


- SUNY Stonybrook


- SUNY Farmingdale





After you finish your 4 years getting a bachelors degree. You will need to go to dental school. A few good dental schools in NY are:


- School of Dental Medicine at Stony Brook


- NYU: Dental School


- Columbia University School of Dental and Oral Surgery


There is also a really good one in NJ:


- University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey





Some advice:


- You don't need to have a major in a science field to get into dental school. You can major in anything you like, business, english, history... whatever you want. The thing is, if you major in a science, for example biology. Dental school is EXTREMELY competitive. If you don't get into dental school, you need to think about what you're going to do with your major. What are you going to do with biology if you don't get into dental school?


- Take chemistry BEFORE biology. For some reason college biology involves so much more chemistry rather than biology.


- Don't get discouraged. The first year of pre dental is going to be the hardest thing you will ever do. Because they design the first year to be difficult to weed out students who don't want to work hard. So be prepared to work your butt off!


- Try to maintain at least a B average in your sciences because remember you're not just competing with the students in your own class or college, you're competing against every student around the world who wants to go to the dental schools that you want to go to.





Good Luck!!
