Hey all

 

Just wondering what it takes to get into western after 2 years undergrad? or uoft after 3 years?

 

Also is there a bias against age. I originall went to college and worked in the health care field but am now considering dentistry. So I Started my degree and am in my first year. All my marks are in the 90's with a GPA of 3.98 in a Biology/Chem double major. I'm 30 now and if I get in after two years of undergrad I will be 31~32. Will that be a big problem for the admissions people, do they like em in the early twenties? For the dental schools out there I was wondering if there were students a little older in the class and how they were viewed.

 

Thanks to everyone and I wish you the best for your exams :)

3.98 on a scale of 4, right?

You will get in somewhere in Canada and it's almost 100% sure.

 

You will for sure find Dentistry interesting. But careful not to neglect the inherent business side of the profession, to which I somehow did pay much attention.

But indeed, there is no doubt that dentists have easier life.

 

Oh, at UofM, we paid a lot for the instruments (I am not talking about the tuition fees).

1st year=7500$

2nd year=6300$

3rd year=can't remember, nearly 4000$.

4th year=50-150$.

So make sure to have some bucks ready aside.

 

The tuition is cheap in Quebec (fortunately), we pay about 3500$ annually.

What about you? I am really eager to know the stats of other canadian schools...
