I will have to decide on a major in a few months, and was wondering which majors will benefit or distinguish me from a pool of applicants for dentistry? Currently, I am thinking of picking microbiology and immunology as my major. I know that many students have biology or biochemistry as their major, so I do want have a different major to make me stand out. Please let me know if this would be a good option, or not. Thanks!!

I also want to ask if I could be able to do the cc transferring to university route in my situation as well?
