candentist Posted April 8, 2021 Report Share Posted April 8, 2021 Hi everyone, hopefully there are some current students on the forum! Currently in a dilemma, I've been accepted to the UofT dental program and I'm excited to start. However, there's a masters program in the UK that I would have done in a heartbeat if I hadn't gotten into dent. It's something I'm passionate about and really want to do. I was wondering if it was possible to take a leave absence to do the masters during the DDS or at least the likelihood of deferring my acceptance to do it for a year. There's another program that's 2 years but I doubt I'd be able to defer that long. I don't think I'll be able to do it after the DDS as I don't want to graduate and be doing an unrelated masters for a year or two and then look for jobs after my skills atrophy. Hopefully, there are people with some experience with this. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentistrydmd Posted April 8, 2021 Report Share Posted April 8, 2021 Doesn’t hurt to give the admissions office a call and asking. You may have to make a formal request and they could provide stipulations about doing this. Typically there has to be some significant reason/extenuating circumstance for them to allow you to defer an acceptance to a professional program.
