You know you've been accepted to dental school when...

[mochafreak]

I was going to add this to the old "you know you're a pre-dent when..." thread, but I couldn't find it. I'll start off.

You know you're going to dental school when you start carrying other people's teeth in your coat pocket.

(I keep forgetting to bring a jar to the office I work at. So I put the teeth in baggies instead and take them home nightly...except last night I forgot to take them out, so they were still there this morning when I got work )

I wouldn't know. I haven't been accepted to dental school yet.

 

[I'mFillingFine]

....you tell your babysitter's cousin, your postman, and the homeless guy on the street that you were accepted.





(And don't worry - you WILL be accepted!!! This forum is proof to us all!)

I wouldn't know. I haven't been accepted to dental school yet.

I apologize for the thread...precisely why I looked for the old one. However, I got to pg. 14 and gave up.

 

[beredsox2]

When you stop yourself from eating candy, because you think now as a future dentist it is unacceptable.

 

[dinesh]

You post threads on the internet about being accepted to dental school.

[INFNITE]

when you start noticing how nasty some people's teeth look. I mean, seriously, some smokers, their teeth look gross.

 

[nob01001]

...you're about to bomb every single one of your final exams, and for the first time you agreeingly nod your head when the frat boy next to you says "who gives a ****"

Note: Unfortunately, I haven't been accepted yet. This is just what I observed in my usually otherwise Type A personality classmates

 

[Kremlar]

You stop checking ..... (Hang on i'll be right back... ok..)... AADSAS every 30 seconds... And you no longer...(BRB... Ok...) wait at the window for your mailman.. Plus you start picturing what ....(hang on a sec.....) your name will look like with Dr. infront of it....

As you can tell, I havent been accepted anywhere yet.........lol..

 

[superchris147]

you're waiting in a long line to weigh a cup of spit to tell someone about their salivary flow


or


you go to take a bite out of your hamburger but you realize that your hands are caked in a thick layer of ivorene (sp) dust


or


you've made a custom tray for something other than the oral cavity

I get the sense that you have this daydream without even being accepted to dental school.

 

[jk5177]

You walk around and feel an air of confidence about yourself, and that it's been all worth it.

 

[-OB-]

I haven't been accepted yet but I have a good one....

You throw away all your dirty magazines because you now have something better to beat off to.

I'm pretty sure he's referring to his acceptance letter, though I can't say I particularly appreciated the mental images that resulted from reading that post. Lets try to keep it PG in the future, shall we?

Yah, personally I want to say, "*** everything," and just chill out until dental school."

You make a good point...in the spirit of my post I have updated my signature to Disney standards.

F*ck PG....when my letter comes I'll post a picture so you can appreciate the actual image instead of the mental image.

You know you have been accepted to Dental schools when:

You continue to visit SDN with the same rigor as you did in the pre-acceptance era, if not more frequently. Only this time, you assume the role of a Pre-dental counselor role of the stressed-out, unsure pre-dent you once were.

*hangs head in shame*

How do you all KNOW me so well?!?!

 

[JakeMUSC]

......are you saying I had these fantasies before I was accepted and started dental school? or what? im confused

 

[JakeMUSC]

I get the sense that you have this "air" without even being accepted to dental school.

 

[Kniles5]

All of your friends ask you to look at this one tooth.....

actually, this happens to me now, just as a lowly applicant

Great minds my friend, great minds.

To add to this specifically...
When your roommate thinks you were destined to be a dentist because she came to you with a toothache and you told her to floss (she had just eaten an apple). Low and behold, she flosses out a large chunk of apple and praises you as the best dentist ever, forgetting the fact you haven't even stepped foot into your first dental school class yet.

 

[polarnut]

i bought a white labcoat and a name tag with the Dr. on it

Haha. I am glad that you are ecstatic about your acceptance. And you should be! Congrats.

 

[duh?]

Oh boy, are YOU excited about dental school.

 

[LadyxJC]

... when you don't check your mail as eagarly.

... when you take your time in deciding on which school to attend.

 

[mrodr043]

....you tell your babysitter's cousin, your postman, and the homeless guy on the street that you were accepted.


HAHA!!! i even told the guy who cleans the office where i currently work at!! LOL

Yep I agree. i've told ALL my friends and some of the professors i'm friendly with. I've had the most fun telling all those people that told me (directly or indirectly) that I wouldn't make it. Man, You should see their faces when i lay the info on them with the most innocent of facial expressions and the most enthusiastic smile. First the expression of shock (lasts for like 2 seconds) then they catch themselves and go "wow, I'm happy for you! Congratulations!" (fake smile poorly disguising their unbelief-induced shame). One guy was so shocked he just kept repeating, "university of Pennsylvania, wow!" he must have said it like 10 times in the 3 minutes I spent with him (he's the one that interrupted me and replied, "IF you get in." When i said something like, "when i get accepted I will.... that was back in July ). Another guy 'advised' me to forget about dentistry that "it is too competitive and it's hard to get in." He did the worst at concealing his displeasure-- he didn't! I just thank God.
