<p>University of the Pacific is the perfect pre-dent school. Accelerated programs of 2, 3, or 4 + 3yrs. (Dental school goes through summer, so it is only 3 yrs.) Even though it’s on the west coast, the dental school is in San Francisco, which is a really fun city, and Stockton (for undergrad) is close to both Sacramento and San Fran.</p>
