I didn't, BUT it was 1964. I don't know if things have changed. I would
think the absence of a bachelor's degree might be a negative when the
majority your competitors have one.
Very good grades might possibly counter the lack of a degree.
I may be able to find out the policy at UCSF if you'd like.

My 2 cents!

Does it really matter what undergrad degree one has if they think they may want to become a dentist? Example.... could a person have an undergrad degree in say engineering or computer science or accounting and still become a dentist?
