Does it matter what college I go to after high school before dental school?
Hi, I'm currently in high school and I'm interested in dentistry, more specifically orthodontics. I know that I have to go to a college/university for four years to get my Bachelors before I can go to a dental school, but are there any colleges I should lean towards specifically? Also, what would it be most recommended I get a Bachelors in? Any info would be greatly appreciated!
how to navigate competitive pre-health community?
I'm a 2nd year bio major just joined prehealth route and I feel behind in my extracurriculars. It's hard not to compare myself knowing that I will have to compete with them when I do my pa school application. I'm trying to improve my stats and will meet with an advisor soon to discuss my options. I thought about joining prehealth frats or organizations to learn more about it but even those are too competitive/toxic. How have your experiences been with a prehealth career? what supportive communities were u able to join and how did you find them?
How can I contact professionals to shadow/interview?
I'm a 2nd year bio student and I'm still trying to figure out what I want to pursue.

I volunteer at the hospital rn, but I don't get to interact w any professionals (just the hospitality personnel) I'm not sure how to reach out or who to ask to learn more about their experiences #fall2024
