<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>
