Dentistry

To be eligible for dental school, prospective students generally need a bachelor's degree and strong academic performance in specific science courses, including biology, chemistry, and physics. They also need to demonstrate their preparedness through performance on the Dental Admissions Test (DAT). Many schools also require shadowing experience and letters of recommendation. 

Here's a more detailed breakdown of the typical prerequisites:

• Bachelor's Degree: While not all schools require a specific major, many recommend or prefer a science-related field like biology, chemistry, or health sciences. 

• Science Courses: Most schools require at least two semesters of general biology with lab, general chemistry with lab, organic chemistry with lab, and physics with lab. 

• DAT: The DAT assesses knowledge in science subjects and reading comprehension, perceptual ability, and quantitative reasoning. 

• Shadowing: Shadowing a dentist is strongly encouraged to gain insight into the profession and make sure it's a good fit.
