<p>Are they good at Pre-dental? How many people who graduate from USC undergrad are able to get into Dental school? </p>
<p>I want to go to USC’S dental school - what are my chances from USC undergrad? DO they favor?</p>
<p>it does not matter where you go. Just get a good science GPA, have the passion for it, and enjoy your undergraduate experience. In my opinion, the USC pre-health courses are ehhhh ( i really cant say anything about it since im a comp sci major, but the classes ive taken that prehealth ppl do are just okay). Choose a school that you really love, and apply for USC dental school after. It honestly means nothing to do USC undergrad if youre just wanting to go to dental school. I believe UCI, UCSD, and UCLA have awesome pre-health majors, but USC, they are more oriented in trades such as film and business. Otherwise, their prehealth is mediocre and not a lot of people do it; hence the reason why other colleges outperform them on MCATs, acceptances to med schools, GREs, etc.</p>

<p>This is entirely ********. The OP has no evidence to back this statement up and nor are there any statistics on the internet that will back it up. The OP has already proven his agenda against USC, putting it down in any way possible. His username was created this month and even though he has stated he has transferred to UCLA, all of his posts are on the USC forum and contain negative connotation.</p>
<p>As for your original question, the class profile is here: [Class</a> Profile | Ostrow School of Dentistry of USC](<a href=“404 Error - Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry of USC”>Doctor of Dental Surgery DDS - Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry of USC)</p>
<p>The number one feeder school was USC so I would assume that there is at least some favoritism although you will still need to meet the requirements.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>If you can maintain that GPA through college and achieve a reasonable score on the DAT, you chances of admission are fairly good.</p>
<p>There is no such major as pre-dental so as long as you fulfill the requirements set forth by an individual school you may be admitted to dental school. </p>

<p>Thank you 4orce 
I was worried if I chose the wrong school because a lot of people are saying USC is hard to get a good GPA and what not.</p>
<p>Getting a good GPA is dependent on how much effort you want to put in, regardless of what anyone says (unless you’re a genius and already know all the material).</p>
<p>In science classes, good grades come doing well on ~2-4 tests (among other things) and doing well on tests is independent of the other students in the class. The average of the class usually gets somewhere along the B/C border (unless the average is unusually high) so aim for being at least above average in everything you do.</p>
<p>rofl guess the internet is serious business. I dont need to prove anything. An individual with common sense would look up the data on aamc.org or other sites, or are you a child who needs an adult to do that for you? Also, favoritism is bs if you looked at the data of HOW MANY were USC applicants. The link you provided proves nothing. I can say that Harvard medical school only favors harvard students, only to find out that 90% of the pool were harvard students anyways… Let alone USC dental school is rated as one of the easiest dental schools to get into in the nation. I dont know why you say theres favoritism unless youre saying that the admissions will favor underachieving USC students into their dental program. </p>
<p>Anyways , if you really like the science major, then go for it. If you have another passion such as history or anthropology, I suggest that you take on that major and fulfill your pre-health requirements. Hence, that is why it is much more flexible and reasonable at a quarter system, not at the semester system (didnt matter to me too much since I love computer science). If you are going to spend your years in dental school learning straight science, then you should expand your horizons and learn in completely different fields. I have a friend who is attending UCI medical school this fall, and he graduated as a Spanish major because he loved Spanish. In addition, it allowed him to take his time with his pre-health classes by spreading them out in four years. Get involved and shadow your desired profession first before you are too deep in. I worked at a computer science lab, and I loved it for letting me pursue it in the future</p>
