Hey Everyone, I just saw the updated course list and I noticed a few things are different: Cognitive Psychology along with Brain and Behavior are no longer under the Biology section. They now have their own section labeled as "Behavioral Science". Does this mean that these classes no longer...

A quick tip on the RC section of the DAT: Search and Destroy Paragraphs are numbered, therefore: –As you quickly skim the passage, write down a brief (1-4 words) summary and keywords of each paragraph. –The list you make should help you quickly find the answer to each question by identifying...

Hello all, My recruiter and I just finished getting my kit together so that it would be submitted to the board this month. The only thing that surprised me is that MEPS was not required before the board. Apparently they can still select me as a recipient of the HPSP scholarship before MEPS...

Dear everyone. Today i had a patient where i had to do a stepwise excavation. It was more like an intermediate restorative material because of lack of time, and so i thought it could as well work as stepwise excavation. However i ended up forgetting using dycal which is a calcium hydroxide...

Deciding between Florida and Maryland for dental school. I'm a Florida resident but very interested in going out of state. Has anyone else been tossing between these two schools? What tipped your decision from choosing one over the other? Any input is greatly appreciated!

Currently in pre-dental , I recently wrote the Canadian DAT and scored as follows : RC:21 Bio:20 Chem:22 PAT:19 AA:21 oGPA 3.93 sGPA 3.87 I am fairly confident I could do better on my PAT as I was rushed because I spent too much time on the keyholes (due to the fact there was no visible...

Hello, I need to take BioChem. Unfortunately, I work full time and unable to take time out of my work day to attend an actual class. Has anyone ever taken UNE classes online and still got accepted into dental school? If so, which class or classes? If you happen to know which schools definitely...

I am looking to apply to residency programs, and I'm seeing a lot of "Must be eligible for state dental license: Yes" program info websites. Can someone please explain to me how this works/what it means in terms of applying to an out-of-state program? Thanks! :)

I am applying to dental school in June, so these next 6 months are very important. I have a 3.8/3.9 gpa, I've been shadowing a dentist and plan to shadow others. I worked as a developmental therapist for over a year, I have 150+ volunteer hours with refugees, I work as a biology lab materials...

The price for both schools pretty much are the same due to the scholarship I received from Penn. I currently live on the west coast so UNLV would be closer to home, but Penn would be a nice change in environment (but a lot further from my family). I went into this planning on going to more...

Hi SDN! First let me apologize for posting a thread of a topic with so many posts. But I need some advice. About to start the winter term of my D1 year. I am okay with doing general dentistry going forward, but I am definitely interested in pediatrics. Currently attending a non ivy P/F...

Hi, I'm planning to take AFK class but found most of the training institute are based in Toronto. Can anyone suggest any training institute which can offer online courses? Thank you.

Not considering yearly salary, what are the highest paid hourly med/dent specialties? I’ve heard orthopedics, plastics, dermatology, orthodontics, endodontics, and oral surgery all make a killing but some work fairly more hours/week.

Since the beginning of December, I've been in a bit of a bind. I received acceptances to VCU, LECOM, and Nova. Obviously, only one of them can be chosen, but I suppose it would be best to get other opinions. Despite being a Florida resident, VCU seems to be the cheapest option since LECOM and...

Hello everyone, I am working on a research project on e-cigarrettes. I have combed through scholarly journals already, I am interested in YOUR (the practitioner) thoughts. 1. Do you recommend e-cigarettes to patients as a smoking- or chewing-tobacco cessation tool? 2. Have patients asked...

I took my DAT in January 2017 and recently (12/01/17) was accepted into dental school. These are the materials I used to prepare for the exam and I highly recommend this study package to anyone who really wants to pass the DAT exam with high scores. Selling bundle for $250(USD). This bundle...

I am a senior taking DE Multivariable Calculus. I made a bunch of stupid mistakes on a test and now there is a chance that I might end the class with a B. However, I there is alot of time to pull myself back to an A. If I get a B how much will it hurt my odds of getting into dental school or if...

Hello! I am currently a D1 student and was wondering if I can spend my longer winter or summer breaks to earn some certificates that can benefit me as a student and hopefully as a future dentist. Please post if you have any ideas or advice

I, as well as a few others, received an email from USC saying that I am a post-interview candidate. Does anyone have any knowledge on this type of status? They said it's not a "waitlist" because there are still spots available, but I'm wondering the chances of still getting in are. Also, if...

I feel very fortunate to have been accepted to all these schools, but now comes the decision time! I am a resident of Virginia and have gone to undergrad at Richmond and so I would see the same city for the next 4 years if I attended VCU. Buuut, I was offered a 60Kscholarship ($15K per year) to...

hey I am just wondering I interviewed at a TX school at November 13 and heard nothing back from today I think they sent an email out at 12:01am. Also I didnt hear that I was waitlisted from that so what should I do feel bad that I didnt get waitlisted?

Hey all, I applied to orthodontics this year and unfortunately did not match. I am trying to figure out what I want to do next year. I am currently doing a GPR and could potentially be the chief next year. I am fully committed to becoming an orthodontist and want to make my application as...

Hi, I'm graduating with a biology degree next semester and have applied to some dental schools this cycle. I am trying to figure out a "back up" plan if I am not accepted. I know many people from my university in Canada take an extra year and complete their honours degree, which seems like a...

Hi everyone... I have an oral test interpreting these two radiographs tomorrow, and I was wondering if you could help, in case I missed anything. What the structure above the maxillary sinus in the periapical? My first thought would be the zygomatic process, but shouldn't that be a bit lower...

Thank you!

I had made an arrangement with a dentist near by to shadow him. On the phone I talked to the receptionist who told me to come half an hour early to go over the lists of patients. I gladly agreed and when I came in I was greeted by the staff and then by the dentist. He invited to go back in...

Hi all, I was wondering what my chances at dental schools in NYC are and any comments will be appreciated. Please be straightforward. So I messed up early in UG due to numerous problems. I finally decided to pursue dentistry in my final year and that's when I changed my major from chemistry...

Does anyone know how many students are generally accepted here on Dec 1? I know the class is a size of 64, but do they accept more than that? Also, how many usually interview here? Thank you in advance!

Hello everyone, Does it really matter where you complete your dental pre-reqs for dental school so long as they are completed at a 4-year institution? For example: If I'm interested in attending Tufts School of Dental Medicine, would I be a more enticing applicant if I completed their...
