Matching a Speciatly

[FCIllini]

Quick question. If a dental student got in without a bachelor's degree, will this in any way affect their application if they choose to specialize? If I had to guess, it seems most speciatly programs would just look at your dental school grades, board scores, etc.

Thanks.

I have previously emailed many schools for their opinion on this.
The answer is that, if you want to go to a top program, perhaps you should have an undergraduate degree, but for others, it's fine.

As for specializing after dental school, to do a 6 year OMFS program, probably gonna need a bachelors. Otherwise no limitations....

I don't have a bachelor's degree. Applying only 6 year omfs. I got 14 out of 16 interviews at all the big names. Just do well in dental school.

I'm no expert on this, but I do remenber looking at Iowa or Minnesota, somewhere like that and it said that you need a bachelors because you have to meet the requirements for the graduate school and your are awarded a Masters degree with the certificate. Not sure what specialty though.

I think that is Iowa OMFS. Imagine that, a 4 year program with higher standard than a 6.... what will they think of next.

She wears a push-up bra?

 

[esclavo]

Very generous of you to part with one of your vast doll collection. Does kind of look like my wife though...my pink skate board is a little shinier after Uvula waxed it for me... I've got to give him something to do on his weekends off after he's done mowing my lawn and pruning the shrubs

 

[esclavo]

Yaaaaaaah, that's more like it....Bad mutha!! Bring it on!!!!! Is my nose running in this picture or am I just teething?

Yeah, some grad programs (speaking just for ortho) do require a bachelors. That said, even more do request your undergrad transcripts.
