<p>Hello, I am going to University of California, San Diego (UCSD). My current intended major right now is Microbiology. I was researching and found out that Microbiology is useful ONCE you’re in medical school , however it wont be as much help on the MCAT. I heard that Biochemistry is helpful for the MCAT. So should i double majoring with biochemistry and microbiology or major in microbiology and minor in biochemistry (or vice versa? ). That’s just for medical school thought. What about dental school? I’m hoping to be either an anesthesiologist or an orthodontist (hopefully have my own clinic, so would a business minor be useful? ) Also, which major would help me with the Dental Admission Test (DAT)? I was hoping to go to UCSF’s medical and dental school. I know UCSF’s medical school is one of the best and also one of the toughest one to get into but im not sure about their Dental school. So what is the best dental school in california? I’m sorry if there’s two much question in this, im just a worried college student trying to find her right path. Thank you so much if you’re able to help!</p>

<p>Cliffnotes answers to your questions: 1) your major more or less doesn’t matter. 2) you probably won’t find much information about dental school on this particular board–but I’m sure there are other boards for dental school!</p>
