I heard that dental schools don't accept people who didn't take more than 9~10 courses per year. I took 21 credits (7 courses) in the first two years of university. Does this mean that I have to take 30 credits for the rest of two years? So I tried to take 30 credits this third year but I ended up taking 27credits because I just can't find any other course interesting enough to work on...What should I do? Is it even true that people have to take at least two years of 30 credits to be considered by dental admission? Anyone?

Plain not true. Of course you need your BS in science or Arts. You cannot go to dental school without a BS. Your best chance of entering a dental school is to have a 3.2 + average in any discipline, that is total average. It could be basketweaving, who cares. You will get into your state supported schools for sure with that kind of credentials. You will make $90 thousand + as a dentist today in a good area.
