Dentistry isn’t a Plan B. It’s just as difficult/competitive to get an admission to dental school as it is to gain an admission to medical school. Don’t fool yourself.

A Plan B career might be graduate school (MS, MPH, PhD) or a less competitive alternate medical profession (podiatry, PA, optometry, nursing, medical technologist, research lab assistant), or a completely different non-medical career (engineering, business, sales, education).

For example, D1 was a physics & mathematics double major. Her Plan B was a MS in medical & health physics. D2 was mathematics & neuroscience double major who worked for 2 years as a clinical (medical) research coordinator before applying to med school. Her Plan B was a MS/MPH in biostatistics. Both fields (health physics, biostatistics) offer very strong prospects for well-paid employment.
