I want to go to dental school, but I am in a 13month accelerated nursing program to get my BSN now. I just completed the first semester of the program this month, and I currently have a year to go. However, I have been having second thoughts about nursing. I wanted to go to nursing school to...

What dental school do you attend and why do you like it? Pros/cons.

Hello! I actually a few questions. To give you some background on myself, I am a pre-dental student graduating this coming semester. My GPA is pretty low (2.9), I have withdrawn from a few classes in order to retake them (chemistry isnt my best subject), and I am graduating without...

I got a secondary application from Midwestern, and one of the questions ask where I took most of my prereqs at. I started out at a 2 year college then transferred out to a 4 year university after. I would say my classes are split down the middle with the prereqs. Depending upon how you group...

So I was wondering if it was possible to safely study the DAT over winter break.... from December 1 through around January 15. I am a junior this year and did not kow if this is it too much information to try and study over a shorter amount of time? I am trying to score a good score since my gpa...

I was wondering if I absolutely have to take the toefl? English is my second language. However, it's practically the only language I speak now. I came here when I was 8-9 years old. Since, I have used English as my primary language. It has come to my attention that some dental schools require...

Hi everyone. I am freaking out because my DAT is tomorrow. I cannot reschedule and studying has been tough as I am working full time and only get a few hours of studying a day. What are my chances of getting at least a 20 or above on each section? Are my bootcamp scores too low? Any last...

Hi everyone, A question for dental and pre-dental students alike: What is the student satisfaction for each dental school? Which schools hold your hand vs. which schools make their kids work independently? Which focus on research vs. community? Which schools have a difficult, bureaucratic...

I was thinking about how I definitely did not do my research in high school which affected my life now. Would the following be a good guide/advice for future high schoolers? Don't apply to the 3+4 dental programs. Enter college with AP credits (around sophomore in credit standing). - after...

Hi, I have read every post on this I can find. Many were from 10+ years ago. However I decided I would like to make my own, due to my own dilemma. I originally wanted to go to Med school due to a desire to work in fitness related fields, I.E. ORTHO or PMR. However, after all was said and done...

I was something called a "peer mentor" for biochemistry and I was wondering what category this should go under. My role was similar to a TA except I did not grade. I attended all class sessions as well as a weekly team meeting to go over what as to be taught that week. Also should the brief...

Hey! So when my school submits our committee letters to AADSAS, they attach the 3 individual letters of recommendation that we collected along with the committee letter, which quotes and references the 3 letters. One of my letters is from the dentist I shadowed... Some schools are asking that...

Hi! So I just realized I'm going to have to take Microbio and Human Anatomy/Physiology because a bunch of the schools I'm applying to require it. Here's the deal though. I know that I can just list these courses as things I'm going to take... But, I just graduated from undergrad and would have...

So slowly filling out the AADSAS (im sure fellow applicants feel my pain, you got this guys!) But would Dentistry Today, a 3 day program at University of Maryland, School of Dentistry in which you learn about dentistry and different specialties, shadow a dental student, and get a tour of the...

Alright, I tried to see if anyone had asked this question before but couldn't find it. Basically aadsas has a transcript request form I have to print out. Do they expect me to go to my university, give the registrar this form in person? Is there anyway I can do this online? Like...what about...

Hi everyone! I have a quick question. Do you recommend sending in your application to dental school before or after you retake the DAT? I plan on retaking it on July 5 (i got 18 the first time)

Hi I am applying for dental school this summer. I have a couple of questions regarding the application process. 1. I am retaking the DAT on July 5th. Would you recommend submitting the application before then? 2. With regards with the letters of recommendation, the ADEA website states the...

Hope all is well. I am wondering if you could please answer some questions about DAT/dental school app. Thank you so much!! 1. Should I start working on the dental school application now? Would it be okay if I submit the application without the DAT score, meaning do schools review the...

Does anyone have have a list of schools that do not require a bachelor's degree for admittance?

So...when I fill out the application will there be an option to save my answers? That way I can fill out over a period of a few days. Or will I have to fill it out right away and submit it then and there.

Somehow I cant find a thread answering my question. Does someone knows how to write a letter of explanation for the FAP. I am not able to provide my parent W2 because his employer never gave him one. The FAP guide only says "Copies of 2015 Federal tax returns (including the 1040 tax forms, W2s...

Would anyone mind reviewing my PS and giving me comments/edits/suggestions? Any help would be appreciated!

Hey! So I'm taking my DAT on July 12th, but I want to get my application in as soon as possible (because it's rollinga admissions right?) Is there a disadvantage to sending my DATs in later? My letters are strong. My GPA could be better (3.4 overall and 3.1ish science). But I also studied at a...

Hey guys! So I just graduated from undergrad, and I'm preparing for the apps and the DAT. I was looking into University of New England, Maine and apparently Microbio and Human Anatomy are pre-reqs?? Is this a hard "you must have taken these courses"? At my school, microbio and human anatomy were...
