im just starting college this year, im taking a load of biology and chemistry classes because i plan on majoring in these areas, to get ready for dental school. im going into pre-dentistry.
im taking 12-13 credits this semester
i plan on taking 18 next semester, 18 in the summer, and 18 in fall and spring of the following 2009 year. thats a whopping total of 85 credits if im right...
which means that in two years i could have my Associates degree in pre dentistry, is that right?
im confused though, about how many credits i neeed to get a B.S. degree in pre dentistry. isnt it around 120-130?
and is it possible for me to get my B.S. degree in 3 years flat...if i work my *** offf and get 18 credits per semester?

It is possible to graduate in three years, if you take a full load and don't mess up. Many students average four to five years to graduate with a BS. The college you are at has specific information about how many credits it requires for a particular degree.
Some words of warning. Many colleges will not allow you to take 18 credits over the summer, or consider dentistry as an actual degree. Some dental schools will accept you before graduation and admit you based upon your qualifications.

Most Bachelor's degrees require 120 credits. That's typically 30 per academic year for most kids. If you pull off 40 per academic year, you could conceivably be done in 3 years.
However, this is probably only possible if you take summer courses. Pre-dental courses like bio and chem are not conducive to taking 18+ credits at a time.
