dental school

Good morning, Does anyone know of any schools where DAT scores are valid for longer than 2 years? Say, for example, 3-4 years? I would really like to enter a masters program before starting D-school, but it could take 3 years. I also aced my DAT, and would love love love to not have to study...

Hi everyone!! This is super early but I decided to make a thread for those who plan on applying to the Atlantic Bridge dentistry programs for 2018. I'm waiting patiently awaiting for the applications come out so I can start it! Please add to the discussion if you plan on applying, and any...

Figured I would start a thread! Take it away, anyone!:clap:+pad+:love::laugh::soexcited:

Another important question: Should I wait until after I take the DAT to send in supplemental apps so that way I can assess if my scores are strong enough to secure admission somewhere. I just don't want to blow money on schools that I don't have a chance of getting in. I have paid for all the...

Anyone have any insight as to what time of day is ideal to take the DAT? Morning, afternoon, night? 8am, 12pm, 3pm, etc... ? I am currently scheduled for August 3rd at 4pm but I'm thinking of switching to August 8th at 8am.

I pretty much just want to see how destroyer has helped different people: How did you use DAT destroyer? How did it help you? After taking the DAT, would you have gone back in time and used Destroyer differently? Any feedback would be great. I am about to go through it for the second time. Exam...

I keep getting an 18 every time i take a Bootcamp PAT test. It's really annoying. Some days im stronger in some subjects, some days im weaker in others. (Keyhole, TFE, and PF hit me hard). Any advice on how i can get that up to a 22 would be great :D Exam is in ~3 weeks

Alright, guys. I'm now going to be one of the many many students that have posted this exact thread probably, but I'm hoping some of you can help put my mind at ease a little bit. I am currently filling out my dental school application (where has the time gone...) and I figured I'd give some of...

My DAT is in less than a month. I read through Cliffs one time and made flash cards on all the destroyer bio problems. I wanted to know you guys think would be most efficient/effective in addition to studying my destroyer flashcards: reading over Feralis, rereading Cliffs, or simply downloading...

Here we go: Should I take my exam July 29th, August 2nd, or August 7th (these are rough dates, i will try and make one of these happen).I am currently scheduled for August 2nd at 4pm. PLEASE GIVE ME ADVICE ON A GOOD DATE TO TAKE THE DAT. Atm, I am not even remotely close to being ready. I do...

Does anyone know of any schools that have both a Dental School and a Physical Therapy School? Or any states that have these two types of schools a short distance from one another? Thanks in advance!

I am going to be applying during the 2018-2019 application cycle and I am freaking out. I have done all the calculations and when I apply I will have: oGPA: 3.4 sGPA: 3.559 bcpGPA: 3.163 AADSAS GPA: 3.338 I slacked off my first two years of undergrad and ended up receiving a D in Gen Bio 1 which...

Hello Pre-Dental Students! HoHoKus Dental Associates is still accepting applications for those who are interested in our internship program. Keep in mind we are looking for a passionate, hard-working individual who will be available at the end of the summer and throughout the year. If you...

I took ASL in high school to fulfill my language requirement, and ended up using it to fulfill my college language requirement. It shows up as units on my actual transcript as transfer courses, but no grade shows up. All other classes were taken at my undergrad. Do i need to request a transcript...

Hi Everyone! Wanted to open up this thread now that many of you are sending in your applications. Best of luck to everyone and please feel free to ask any questions about the UConn Dental program.

Very common question at this time of the year. Just trying to get all the help I can get :] Money is an issue at the moment and I would really appreciate advice from those who have applied and those who were in a similar position as me. I live in California. My number one realistic/desired...

Hey guys! I'm selling my "Organic Chemistry Odyssey" book by Dr. Jim Romano. I used it when I took the DAT last year and it really helped me on the organic chemistry section. The book is part of DAT Destroyer (which I also used) and it can really help you crush the Orgo section. The book's...

Currently having doubts as to whether to apply this cycle or not due to my dumpy DAT score.I am an agricultural economics major and come from a rural area (town of 37 people). I would really like to serve in a rural area long term and wrote about that in my personal statement. In the upcoming...

This is my first time posting so I'm sorry if I'm doing something wrong. I couldn't find anything that matched this exactly. I just took the DAT and did awful, here's the breakdown: Bio: 17 GC: 18 OC: 17 PAT: 18 RC: 18 QR: 16 AA: 17 TS: 17. Just some extra info: I am a senior at UF cGPA: 3.86...

Hey guys! I had a couple questions pertaining to the experience section on the AADSAS. 1) For shadowing experiences, most of the shadowing I did were with local dentists for ranging from a few days to a few weeks. Would I put "per diem" or "temporary" for the status of my experience date? I...

Hi guys! I'm applying to dental school this cycle and I'm also planning to apply for HPSP scholarships from the army. Is anyone here know anyting about it or has been accepted to the program? If so, could you please provide me some informatio about it? I'm actually in a process of applying to it...

Anyone selling their DAT Destroyer and/or any other materials such as the bootcamp? If so Please feel free to leave contact info and let me know the condition of the materials beforehand. Pictures would be helpful. Thank you.

So I just graduated from a 4-year university with a 3.75 GPA and a B.S. in psychology. I have recently found an interest in dentistry and was looking to take all the science prerequisite classes at a community college. That being said, will taking those classes at a community college be...

I was simply curious if anyone has used the transcript entry service that costs like $65. I am contemplating using this simply to save time. Does using it look bad or can schools not see that it was used? Just was hoping for some feedback on it. Thanks!

I can tell this issue has been hashed out a lot but I haven't seen anything about my specific situation. I was "arrested" at a concert in New Hampshire for possession of alcohol which I believe is an MIP. Thankfully, NH only has it at a violation level equivalent to traffic tickets so it is NOT...

Hi everyone!! I'm currently a rising junior at my university right now. My major is Pre-dental/Dental Hygiene, which is pretty cool major because not only do I graduate a semester earlier than I normally would (Dec 2018 vs. May 2019), but once I graduate, I'll be eligible to take the boards to...

I took the DAT recently and I was disappointed. Long story short, I lost track of time in organic. OGPA: 3.67 SGPA: 3.55 BCP: 3.50 In college I took 16-19 hours every semester, had research experience, took a rigorous curriculum with lots of upper level courses at once (histology...

Hi everyone, This is my first time applying to dental school, I waited till I was ready, which is now hopefully. I graduated undergrad with a gpa of 2.68 in a BS in Biological sciences. My science gpa was pretty bad bc I failed a couple science course a few times due to some personal life and...

So I've switched my major from Nursing to Biology my sophomore year. I'm currently a junior now and have a 2.6 ogpa im not far into my major's courses meaning I've only taken 3 courses in the "major field courses" and have a 2.71 sgpa so far. My science, math, & tech core courses gpa is a 3.7...

I am a first year dental student and hygienist for 11 years prior. Looking for other hygienists in dental school now so we can discuss experiences and curriculum and support each other.

I worked as an Orthodontic Assistant for 6 months. Would that count as shadowing for dental school?

Hello, I dumb-goofed this semester. I am a sophomore in college and currently have a 3.3 GPA. This semester, I took a light course load for several reasons. I pledged into a professional pre-health fraternity, my mom got diagnosed with Hepatitis B, my father was diagnosed with early on-set...

So I'm about to become a Senior this Fall and had the intention of becoming a Pharmacist. Until I got a job at walgreens as a Pharm tech I realized that Pharmacists in the retail environment have it boring and aren't much different than techs besides the obvious of having the knowledge of each...

So I was able to get a recommendation letter from a dentist whom I shadowed. He used to be a Professor at a local dental school for 25 years. Was on the 9/11 team identifying victims and is on the state dental board. Since I really want to go to my local state school (not where he taught), I...
