Overview: Rising 3rd year at UC Davis majoring in Economics (GPA: 3.87). Taking DAT in December. Planning no gap year (should be done w/ all dental prereqs by summer in between 3rd and 4th year, ready for application). Have ~300 hours shadowing (one private practice), ~100 volunteering (various facets), and ~100 hours of research (materials science engineering) currently. Involved in 8 clubs (3 religious / culture, 4 health-related, 1 athletic [boxing] ). Didn't do anything basically during my first year of college (remote, covid), so everything is essentially garnered within the last calendar year.
I'm looking for opinions on Economics as a major for a pre-dents and overall what more can I do besides bumping up all of my respective hours to become more competitive (I imagine it must be even harder to not do a gap year and go straight to dental school both in terms of competitiveness and morale). There was a previous post referencing this topic, but it was ~6 years ago. Any input is appreciated, thank you.
