Hi! I applied to many universities in Ontario for undergraduate (Toronto, uottawa, McMaster, queens) for health sciences/life sciences. I was wondering, which uni did you go to for undergrad and which uni would you recommend to increase my chances of getting into Western U or Toronto U for dental school? Thank you so much 😊

[@saruh_grace]

I’m applying to western this cycle!! I’m praying to get it 😭

[@drbrandondental]

Goodluck!

[@shahadal-tamimi7244]

Same ques

[@yamehro2863]

I hope this isn’t a dumb question but i’m truly lost. So I’m in 12th grade rn high school is going good I got a 90 in biology this sen so i’m not too scared about my marks for applying to uni’s for my undergrad, but you know how in ontario we apply to universities through OUAC? When I’m applying what program am I applying to? I know one of the main 2 courses that uoft requires a full year course for is Biochemistry, and Mammalian Physiology, am i essentially applying to these programs? and for the other additional prerequisites are they my electives? I’m lowkey confused because I know all these courses are general courses and are not meant to be specialized but I still don’t get what I’m actually applying to in the university. I plan on doing my undergrad at ryerson university so would that mean out of those 4 prerequisites one of them is my major and i take the rest as electives? I was also wondering since this is all happening over the span of 4 years. Since different schools require different prerequisites is it possible to do different prerequisites each year? Like western requires org chem while uoft doesn’t would i end up taking org chem as an elective during my 2nd year for example to fulfill the prerequisites? Sorry if the questions sound stupid I’m just very lost and we have until the end of december to submit our uni applications.

[@drbrandondental]

Undergraduate programs differ from school to school. You'll have to do research on which programs you 1) want to attend and 2) if its possible to take and complete the prerequisite courses for dental school. In some more science-based undergrad programs, you'll take prerequisites as part of the program anyways. In order programs, you may have to use electives to complete these prerequisites. Choose a program that you are interested in - that way you'll do well!

[@sandrafawzy7336]

If I went to cegep for 2 years and took all the requires courses. Do I still need to do an undergrad?

[@drbrandondental]

Hi Sandra, I believe CEGEP is only accounted for at the QC dental schools (Laval, UDM, and McGill). Outside of QC, it would depend on the school. Some schools require having a bachelors degree, some require just pre-requisite courses. I would suggest you look into the specific school you're interested in.

[@spawn999]

how long does it take to become a dentist in Canada ?

Dental school itself is 4 years, but most schools will require at least 3-4 years of undergraduate studies!

[@basmaelsinbawi277]

[@sarill5919]

Is dentistry difficult?

[@drbrandondental]

I'd be able to do a whole video on this haha! Dentistry is definitely challenging to get the hang of and not for everyone but everyone struggles with different aspects of dentistry. I bet I'd be able to get tons of different opinions on this if I surveyed my classmates.

[@rachelleb.3825]

Hi Brandon. I have a low gpa below 3.0 but i'm interested in studying dentistry. Is there a program i can take to boost my gpa (like a post bacc in the US). thanks.

[@rancorslayer5228]

I’m about to start grade 11 in high school in Ontario. I’m just curious about what courses I should be taking besides chemistry, biology, and math? I was also wondering about how much your high school marks matter when applying to a Canadian dental school. Great video by the way.

[@drbrandondental]

High school marks don’t matter directly for dental school, but they of course matter for doing an undergraduate program of your choice!

[@orion7231]

[@thisisjanice0929]

Hi thanks for sharing! I wonder is volunteering job and a stable part time job very important to get in?

[@drbrandondental]

Hi Zhan, thanks for giving my video a watch! Neither volunteering nor employment is mandatory for applying and getting accepted into dental schools. However, it's great to have and volunteering or working in an area you're passionate about gives you things to write about in your application and speak about in your interview. Goodluck!

[@shanyceokao6726]

Heyy love your channel. Can international students also Persue the CEGEP? Or is it only for Quebec province residents

[@drbrandondental]

I’m not too sure about this because I’m not from Quebec, but I believe CEGEP is just for QC residents.

[@khansajjad6217]

Hello can you like make a video cost of studying dentistry, and how much is the cost of. International students

[@drbrandondental]

Hi Mumtaz, you’d be able to easily find that on the tuition section of any given dental school you’re interested in.

[@ahmrza2]

Could you tell us what is ur GPA 👀👀 and is a 3.7 GPA for first semester in first year is good or not??

[@drbrandondental]

GPA really depends on the school you apply to! For every program, GPA is calculated differently based on what they consider to be part of the application's GPA. For example, Western looks at best two years vs. Toronto looks at every year minus your worst year if you have four of more years of undergrad. For Western, the GPA I applied with was a mid-high 3.8. Minimum competitive is a cumulative GPA of 3.7.

[@anna-katerinaspankova3581]

I’m an IB student in Europe and I would really like to study dentistry in Canada, but I’m so confused if I can even apply with IB to for example University of Toronto. In my country we just apply for the school, take one exam and have an interview if we pass the exam, then they’ll let us know. I’m beyond puzzled with all the different requirements and exams. Should I even think of studying dentistry in Canada or is it impossible for me to get in? What do I need to do? Thank you so much!

[@jessryannesantos3816]

Hi Brandon! I'm wondering if you signed up for a DAT bootcamp course online and if so did it help? Would the DAT books (i.e. Crack the DAT) work just as fine as the prep course (i.e. DAT Bootcamp, Kaplan, etc.) or would taking an online prep course really be recommended? Thank you!

[@drbrandondental]

Hi Jessry, I never did the bootcamps. I did download and pay for Crack the DAT for a bit - mostly just for the PAT practice. I never used anything else except for textbooks. I used MCAT books just cause I had them. But you can purchase DAT books and study those too. It really depends on your learning style! Many people take classes.

[@hashimzain9796]

Is it easy to get into an oral and maxillofacial surgery course, after dental school in canada

[@drbrandondental]

Getting into any speciality program after completing dental school is difficult! Nothing is easy, everything requires hard work. My advice would be to get into dental school first, and see what specialities you like. One step at a time, good luck!

[@nazila3848]

Your video was very helpful can you please tell us how can we get a loan for paying the dental school pleaseeee 🙏🏻

[@drbrandondental]

Getting a professional line of credit is easy once you get into professional programs. Most major banks will offer you money based on your program and your future potential earnings.

[@dude5208]

If we go to college for 2 years , we automatically become pr?? And tuition decreased, as a Canadian student?? And what about DAT?? Is it so hard as people say?? I'm really stressful for DAT because my basic knowledge is not good , specially about chemistry..... Hope you answer :)
