Im curious about how students are effected and how the school is

Okay so this is going to sound weird but last year I had created an account for ADEA application just to see what the application is like. Looking back, I probably shouldn't have done this because now when I go there it says sign up for reapplication etc. as if I am a reapplicant. In reality...

Hey everyone, I am currently in a Master's program and will be applying to dental school this cycle. I have completed roughly 20 credits of graduate level classes and have a 4.0 GPA so far. I know some schools like Tufts like graduate students and matriculate a large percentage each year. Are...

Sorry if this questions seems RADICAL, but I am struggling to find info. So when I applied to take the DAT I selected the "send to all schools" option (At least I think I did). I took my DAT on the 29th of May and since I have uploaded the unofficial scores into my AADSAS application. Here is my...

I'm in the process of reapplying to dental school and I'm wondering what exactly schools want in an "updated" letter of recommendation. Other than asking the writers to update the date, what exactly would be the best way to approach this?

Wondering if anyone out there knows of any fallback schools that are also OOS friendly to put on my list of schools to apply to? Just don't want to many reach schools then not get in anywhere +pity+

I am currently preparing to reapply and I need some advice! For letters of recommendation, I am planning to get two new LORs and use two old LORs from the last cycle and ask my professors to update those. Also, should I ask my professors to update just the date or should I ask them to revise the...

Hello everyone, Up until recently, I was a pre-med student. I am entering my senior year of college and I need to figure out my path, especially when it comes to prepping for the entrance examinations. After shadowing some MD's I realized that while the profession is immensely rewarding, it may...

I've been working behind the scenes for months to try to get this story published. Finally, it made the front page of the Wall Street Journal this morning. It details how an orthodontist from USC racked up over $1,000,000 in student debt. He earns $225,000 a year working for a corporate...

Starting this thread for people applying to LSU in 2018. Post GPA, DAT, and interview date.

My GPA is a 3.837. In terms of exctracurriculars, I have been involved in a research lab for a year, am an...

Hi, all. Don’t know where else to turn, I’m very discouraged. My GPA is very mediocre (3.35 sGPA, 3.45 overall), and I’ve been graduated for 2 years. Ended up having a child my last semester of college, got married, and I decided to take some time before applying to dental school. I am now 24...

Hi guys! I really want to apply to dental schools. I actually applied last cycle and didn't get in (it's probably because I took my DAT like at the end of August eventhough I submitted everything way before that --> my AA is 22, TS 24, RC 16, QR 20, PAT 20, OC 28, GC 21 [RC is probably another...

Hey guys, I'm a bit lost when it comes to applying to schools. How do I know what dental schools are good, which ones I have a high chance of getting into/ suitable for me? I've checked several schools and sometimes they don't include DAT/GPA score under requirements and others say 18/3.00...

I've seen this discussed a few times but was just wondering what the general consensus was. I've heard that some dental schools don't really factor in the difficulty of your undergrad school when looking at your GPA. Is this true? For example, would a 3.60 at a top 10 private school be...

Hi guys! I know about the agreement between australia and canada and that if you do your dentistry in australia you can come back to practice in canada after passing all of your exams. However, I have never seen or heard of a dentist here in canada who has gone to australia from dentistry and...
