Hello, my name is Austin and I am in my third year of undergraduate studies, majoring in biology. Whats unique about my situation is that I am in an accelerated 5-Year P.A. program where I do 3 years of undergrad and 2 years of P.A. school. I have a 3.95 GPA and got a 312 on my GRE. I am already accepted to P.A. school, but am now contemplating whether I should go to dental school instead. I have a lot of friends that are going to dental school next year, which prompted me to consider dental school. I feel as though the lifestyle of a dentist far surpass that of a P.A. and it would only take me an additional 2-3 years of schooling. I have an equal interest in both medicine and dentistry, which makes this a difficult decision. Any advice or input would be greatly appreciated.
