Will Dental Assisting Help Me Get into the Dental Hygiene Program?

A admissions counselor told me to take dental assisting as an alternative to taking 9 preqs to get into the dental hygiene program. Has anyone done this..Has anyone gotten in to the dental hygiene program just from completing the dental assisting program?? And do you think that's a good idea?

Suggestion:

Well, I am not exactly qualified to answer this question, but I will have a go at it. I only say this because I am a declared mathematics major (incoming college freshman), and I am not going into a vocational hygiene course. However, if you were to look at from an admission officer's perspective, or an employer's for that matter, having hands on practice in the profession in which you want to pursue can only help you, right? I would have a stab at it, then decide from there. I wish you the best of luck!
