      @@l75rd83 I have a question. I am far away from university, but if this is correct, could I do this? 1. Get the Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences. 2. After I get this degree I take a dentistry program to lead to a Doctoral Degree. 3. Take the National Dental Examining Board Exam thing. 4. I can be a dentist when I get the Doctor of Dental Surgery and the Doctor of Medicine in Dentistry . Right? I don't really know. Please correct me if I am wrong

    My dream job is to be a dentist. Im currently 14 and iv started to really pick up and study hard in school. When I was at my dentist I asked him what grades you need to get into dental school with and he said 4/5A's and a B, with higher and advanced highers.

      I know this sounds corny/cliché, but rather than purely focusing on the numbers, zone in on really trying to perform at your best, and then try to better that each time. You've got a long road ahead of you, don't try to burn yourself out too early! Just steadily build your work ethic and you'll get there in the end! Reading your comment down below, it definitely sounds like you got the drive to make it!
