USC Undergraduate Pre-Dental?

[4orce]

@indigomy2

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>

The entering class average GPA (both overall and science) is 3.40.</p>

<p>The average DAT scores were: Academic Average 19.3, Science 19.2, and PAT 20.2. The range is 15 to 30.

</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>

Required prerequisites:</p>

<p>General biology and lab (1 year‡)
General physics and lab (1 year)
Inorganic/general chemistry and lab (1 year)
Organic chemistry and lab (1 year)
English composition (1 year<strong>)
Philosophy, history or fine arts (1 year</strong>)</p>

<p>**This requirement is waived if the applicant has received a bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university.
