Hi all, Do dental schools care if I PNP breadth courses? I have not taken any science or prereqs as PNP. Thanks

I didn’t get into a class in one of my semesters and ended up with fewer graded units (~ 8 science) + 7 PNP (4 teaching) = total 15. I don’t want to seem like I’m trying to take easy courseloads to increase my gpa. Is this something to worry about? Please let me know your thoughts.

Hey people, hoping some of you could help me out as you guys probably have more experience than me regarding this stuff. I have a list of 23 schools here and I want to shorten it down to around 15 schools as that is the normal. I mainly want to be within or around PA, but also open to OOS...

I volunteered at my local hospital throughout my four years of high school and accumulated over 300 hours of volunteering. Would this be something to include in my dental application or are schools looking for volunteer experiences throughout college? Thanks in advance.

Hi friends. I'm going over the numbers for loans right now and it's a bit nerve wrecking. For those who are out of state or going out of state, are you planning to take the full loan amount? If not, how much would you try to cut out? What are you guys doing to minimize the debt? The questions...

I am apart of a D21 class which was given the option of taking the traditional boards (NBDE 1 & 2) or the INBDE. However, I noticed there hasn't been much conversation between the two exams and discussion over the pros/cons of taking one over the other. Here is the official page for the INBDE...

Hello! I just found this section of SDN, and could not find any threads about being a part of the LGBTQ community and in dentistry. I have talked to a couple of gay students who are both currently in dental school, but I was wondering if there's anyone else who is in dental school or is now a...

So I just took the DAT today. I scored a 22AA and am really upset with it. My TS was a 22 as well. I studied a lot, and efficiently mind you, and my scores indicated I was ready for a minimum 22 and honestly expected at least a 23. Not because I was shooting for the stars, but because I thought...
