uber Posted August 30, 2019 Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 I am just wondering what would be the best undergraduate program to be in if I'm trying to get into dentistry at UBC. For those who went to UBC what program or major were you in? (biology, psychology etc) Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stethescope Posted August 31, 2019 Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 Q. Which program of study should I enroll in to prepare for dental school? A. There is no preferred program of study in preparation for dental school, however, successfully taking upper level science courses (300 level and up) in a full-load curriculum (12-15 credits per semester) would reflect on your academic ability in dental school. Q. Does the university of my undergraduate education and/or any postgraduate education influence my application?A. No. Q. My school uses a very tough marking scheme. Will I get credit for the difficulty of the program?A. No. For the purposes of assessing eligibility and selection for interview we do not attempt to adjust the GPA for degree of difficulty of the program. https://www.dentistry.ubc.ca/dmd/dmd-faq/ Tl;dr - Just get the highest gpa you can get Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For ex. becoming bio major would help fill in all prereqs for dent and is an easier major to do well in compared to like chemistry etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
