What are the best things about attending the UCLA School of Dentistry?
The best thing about attending UCLA School of Dentistry is the Honors/Pass/Fail grading system. Being in dental school is very stressful. The classes and volume of material will be much harder than your undergraduate courses, so knowing that you only need to get a 70-75% in each class to pass is a huge relief. That being said, there is the option to earn “Honors” in a course. An “Honors” grade is awarded to the top 10- 15% of scores in the class (usually 8-12 students). This is nice because you can choose a few classes each quarter that you want to try to get “Honors” in and just focus on passing the others. For example, if you know you want to specialize in a certain field after dental school, you can work hard in classes that pertain to that specialty and set yourself apart by getting “Honors” in those classes.
