Dentists don't have the highest suicide rate - that is a myth. Look it up.

It is getting more competitive. The average entering student has a 3.5 science GPA. It has been increasing in recent years due to the recognition that dentists have an excellent lifestyle.

Dental school is definitely more competitive than business.

Dentists and dental specialists generally earn more per hour than most other medical specialties. The average dentist owner makes $200k on a 36-hour workweek, while the average dentist specialist makes $325k on a 36-hour workweek. Very few careers do as well.

It's only competitive because getting any job is competitive now. You don't need straight A's although most people that go in this field do usually have straight A's. If you don't you'll still be able to get a job. It's less competitive than...say... business. A lot of people don't want to be a dentist but if you do that's great go for it, we need more good dentists!

Its not, as no one really wants to be a Dentist. And the suicide rate is extremely high.

its dental school, there you go.
