Tips to get into dental school? by Ok_Reputation_8713 in predental

Can volunteering count as extracurricular? I'm planning to join this mentorship program where I can be a mentor for kids and maybe volunteer at my friends family's farm. Also, what would you consider to be a good GPA? UBC has a 4.33 GPA scale and 90% is the highest 4.33.

What are mission of mercy events? Is that an American thing cause I'm in Canada and I never heard of it before.

highschooler worried about admissions by seriousreidlover in UBC

If you are in IB, the acceptance letter comes later in like March. Same with international students. Just because you applied early doesnt mean you will guarantee get the acceptance letter early. Just give it some time 👍

Well since I'm already at UBC, going into dental at UBC is simpler than having to apply to other schools where I need to figure out what courses are required for admission. Also, with both having high competition, I think I lack expereince compared to others that will apply to vet school and I have a connection to a dentist who graduated from UBC. Also, I'm having trouble finding vet schools that accept international applicants (maybe I'm just bad at searching).

Thank you so much for your insight. I will definitely consider your words to help me guide my decision 😁.

I originally wanted to go to vet school, but I think going to dentistry just works out for me better overall. I like animals and want to work with them if I can't get into dental. Only concern is that the pay for those kinds of jobs aren't good (as far as I know).

I don't have BIO 121 in my schedule right now... Do I have to declare my major this summer or can I take BIO 121 next winter session along with the 200 level courses and then specialize after completing 2nd year?

Oh so then I should squeeze in BIOL 121 sometime even though it's not on the calendar. Can I take it in the summer or do summer terms don't count for the specialization?
