well from my understanding being a pre-dental student myself, is probably possible but you might lower your chances of getting into dental school. Most pre-dental students usually complete a bachelors degree. And since dental school is becoming more and more competitive, it would be wise to try and finish undergraduate studies with a B.A or B.S. Take something that intrigues you so you know you will put effort in the courses and get A's. Besides you are going to have to build a good GPA (3.4 and higher)

What abilities are needed to perform in a rigorous academic environment?
Effective study skills will be a must!!!
Many people feel the hours of study are the most important. However, students can study for hours on end and retain very little. The more appropriate question is, "how can students study more effectively?" Some issues students must consider are as follows.
- Students need to develop good time management skills. They must realize there is a time to be in class, a time for study, time for family, time to socialize, and time to just be alone. The critical issue is recognition that there must be an appropriate balance.
- Students should acquire a vision; A clearly articulate picture of the future they intend to create for them selves. This will promote a passion for what they wish to do. Passion is critical and leads to an intense interest, dedication, and commitment to achieving career goals and objectives.
- The student must choose the best study schedule, a time they feel is comfortable, and in a place where there is little distraction.
- The student must take notes on the subject matter and rehearse them frequently.
- Students should not study hours on end. One should study 30 to 45 minutes then take a short break. Eat a snack, have a cup of coffee, play with the dog, etc., then return to study. This refreshes the mind, and often issues that may have been confusing before, become suddenly clear.
- The student must develop good critical thinking skills, taking everything into consideration particular to the subject matter.
- Students must not be afraid to ask for help when they have a problem understanding the subject matter. They need to do it immediately and not after days have gone by. They should not feel apprehensive to ask a faculty member, a friend, or go to the academic learning center at the school.
How many years will it take for 5000 at four percent interest to grow to 1000000?
133 Years $5,000 invested at 4% interest compounded annually, where interest earned is reinvested, will have grown to $1,000,000 in 135 years (133 years, as stated above, with monthly compounding). Will whomever inherits this money 135 years from now be as wealthy, in terms of buying power, as is a millionaire today? Probably nothing like it. Monetary inflation (an increase in the money supply, which dilutes the value of money) offsets gains. Its effect is insidious. There have been many years recently with an inflation rate of 4% or above. So guess what? $5,000 invested for 135 years or 50 years or any length of time where the inflation rate equals the interest rate will never have more than $5,000 in buying power, regardless of the digits after the dollar sign. In fact, with an inflation rate of only 1%, the time it takes for $5,000 to grow to a million dollars in buying power extends to 182 years.
