Pre-dental or pre-medical professional.
Criteria: -does not have to be Ivy or top echelon. While those are nice, I do not believe you need that to thrive or excel. -That said, a solid education to prepare for dental school or one of the pre-health professions. Bonus points (but not reqd): -in state VA -guaranteed admissions We have some obv choices but am wondering what you all think? Also what is your opinion on schools that don't SPECIFICALLY offer pre-dental/health professional paths (be it through major or offering specific counseling to prepare for those paths). thanks. |

| Temple? Not difficult admissions and they give merit. Just took my kid to orientation there and several “owl team” leaders said they were pre med, pre-dental or pre-podiatrist school. |

I mean, other than VCU...
University of Detroit Mercy has a guaranteed admit program to their dental school, tuition is 31k a year (and you could probably get merit aid) https://eng-sci.udmercy.edu/academics/science/pre-health/seven-year-dental |

| A kid who is "Pre-dental or pre-medical professional" probably won't end up going to either dental school or med school. Regardless of ability, if the interest/drive isn't there, the kid probably will pick a different path. So pick a school where the kid will thrive now; get that right and "later" will take care of itself. |
