lacking shadowing experience

SDN Members don't see this ad. (About Ads)

Hello all,

So I am planning on applying this June and I really want to submit my application asap. I don't have stellar GPA so I want to maximize my chance. Now the biggest problem is I didn't know I wanted to go into this field until very recently and I have very minimal job shadowing experience. In fact, I really only had some when I went to an international volunteering trip for a month or so. What do you guys think any advices would be much appreciated

I am trying to focus on my DAT which I am going to take in late June :S

Thanks guys best of luck!

You could go through a lot of trouble then shadow and decide dentistry is not for you.

You need shadowing experience.

A good number to shoot for is 100 hours.

Go watch a private practice dentist.

You are going to need a LOR from a dentist anyway.
