pretty much. i was over a decade removed from undergrad to dental school, and while i had a bachelors in biochemistry i needed to retake some courses for some schools

from the time i actually made the decision to pursue teeth it took me almost five years to start school. had to transition out of the previous career, and sell my condo, and take some of the refresher courses (last part took the longest since i did night classes while still working)

but the path was the same as it is for any other dentist: take an entrance exam and hopefully score well, apply to schools and get interviews/get in, survive 4 years of acute hellish torture, pass three board exams and get a state license
