dentistry in the united states - help me pls

[pine ravine]

i want to do dentistry (main option) or something else that is biology related in the usa.
what a level subjects should i take for it? also what other prerequisites do i need to complete before becoming a dentist?

[steel drift]

U have to first get a 4 year science degree (like bio/chem)

Only after that u can apply to a dentistry school

[pine ravine]

4 years?

like a bachelor's or something else

ive been thinking of getting a bachelor's in biology before getting my bds is that a good idea

[pine ravine]

i heard it's not completely necessary but i think ill still do it haha

[timid badge]

bio chem maths ?

[steel drift]

yes a bachelor's

[steel drift]

it's a requirement in the US

[pine ravine]

yeah i was also going to take psychology

for as and maybe drop it in 12th

[pine ravine]

oh i saw some colleges didn't need it that's why

[timid badge]

physics would probably be more useful(?) but psych should be fine too

[pine ravine]

oh alright then i plan to do it in biology

[pine ravine]

i don't really like physics that's the issue

💀

and ive never done psych before i might audit it when i start school in august

don't worry, not having it shouldn't cause any issue considering ur other subjects
yes psych without igcse (very few schools offer psych igcse) is a bit hard
