Hey tooth-lovers— I wanted your honest opinion on what dental specialty has the best lifestyle to income ratio out of ENDO, PEDO, ORTHO, and OMFS. This factors in income as a specialist, time with family during specialty training and after, and the foreseeable future of the program. So let’s...

Hey people, Do most dental programs formally reject people they aren't interested in? Or do the vast majority just leave you 'under review' until the cycle is over? Thanks

Hi, I am having hard to deciding and wanted to ask few questions to case students. Any problem with finding patients? Do students usually graduate on time? Are professor very approachable? How is life in cleveland? Cons about cwru as a current student?? I would really appreciate if you can...

Does anyone know if PA requires the optional Prostho and extra operative sections from the WREB? Or is the standard required sections of WREB enough for PA license. I checked their .gov site and it didn't specify which sections of WREB were required, so hoped I could get an answer here. Thanks!

I am a pre-dental student matriculating into dental school this fall and I am planning on applying to the NHSC scholarship. I understand that there are letters of recommendation that are needed and I am wondering if they are supposed to be letters from faculty or a current dentist or anyone? I...

Hey everyone - I couldn't find a thread for people who applied this year to Irish dental schools, so I thought I'd create one! In case anyone was curious, I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts and Science in Neuroscience and Psychology from the University of Guelph this past June. I applied to...

Hello everyone. I was waitlisted by a school, that at the time was my top choice. I sent them a LOI stating that if I were to be accepted, I would attend the school. A week later I was accepted and I put my deposit down. However, shortly after this, I was offered an interview at a school (in my...

Hey everyone, I am a D1 Dental Student and I was fortunate enough to land the NHSC scholarship. I just wanted to create a thread to explain my current educational finance situation to hopefully serve as a reference for those contemplating this program in the future. I know I found these forums...

Hey everyone! Just wanted to create a thread on the current VCU SAEP program cycle since the deadline for early decision just passed. Also, if anyone has already been through this program, would you recommend it? There isn't that much information on it online so I just want to make sure that I...

Can you guys give me some pros and cons for Midwestern IL and Loma Linda (LLUSD). I do not know too much about Midwestern IL (NOT Midwestern in Arizona) and want to know a bit more about it. Thank you guys.

I recently got accepted to UNC and Harvard, and am rather conflicted on which one to choose. I intend to specialize upon graduating dental school, and hope to explore academia if possible. With both schools having exceptional programs and unique strengths, I am having trouble choosing one over...

So I am deciding what I should do for after I graduate my undergrad. I am getting my bachelors in biology but my overall GPA would be a 2.7. I was thinking that maybe if I did a masters program such as Public health it would be a good change and also give me a separate GPA. So far I have applied...

I apologize if this is out of place in this forum- but I’m new to this- and I don’t know another place where there are so many dentists/dental students that can give their input. I’m used to having good dental hygeine. I’m 19 and (apparently, up until now) have never had a cavity. I floss...

I was browsing on ADEA Dental School Explorer and schools like Harvard etc. had GPA's above 4.0 for their 95th percentile. I was wondering how that's possible? Are A+'s still counted as a 4.3, or are they counted as a 4.0? It seems their data is recent from 2017-2018

I know I will not make it into Canadian dental schools due to the rough first year I had (due to major illness). I am a music major currently in my second year. My first year GPA was 2.4 (like I said, I was very sick), but first semester of this year, it was 3.3, which bumped my CGPA up to 2.74...

So the breakdown. I am instate but i can commute from home from Temple about 40 minutes drive. Pitts much further will have to dorm there. I am financially completely on my own, parents would not be able to contribute much. I want to know if there is a difference in getting a job afterwards. If...

Hello SDN! If anyone out there is like me, you are having another sleepless night due to thinking about how you aren't accepted to any dental schools and the lovely anxiety paired with it! Has anyone else NOT heard from any schools? I have applied to 13 and been rejected from 2 (Temple [dec...

Software developer tops list of U.S. News & World Report's annual best jobs rankings According to U.S News ranking dentistry is now rank at #4 :( It was #2 in 2018 and #1 the years before. What do you guys feel about that? With how expensive dental school has become is that affecting your...

Hi... I'm a little worried because I transferred from a UC to a CSU midway through college and so far at every interview I've had, they always grilled me about that decision. Personally, I just wasn't a fan of huge class sizes at the UC school because I never felt comfortable enough to approach...

Hi, I’m a freshman and am majoring in a science as pre-dental. I was previously very set on minoring in art history just because I really enjoy learning about it. I recently started thinking I could benefit more from a business administration minor in case I want to open my own practice in the...

Hi everyone! I am participating in this year's dental match for pediatric dentistry, and rank submissions are due in a few days. I am having a bit of an issue deciding between which program I should rank 1 vs 2 on my list. Some background info: Program A is extremely competitive, but I have...

Hey all, hopefully someone out there has been in a similar situation and has some helpful suggestions. I've recently finished the DAT and scored pretty well, but with a subpar GPA, I still need more extracurriculars in order to become a more competitive applicant. I definitely plan on getting...

Hey Everyone, so I made a thread about this months ago, but since college is almost here I wanted an updated opinion. So long story short I am a highschool student, last semester left :D .... I am very interested in dentistry, I love the fact you can own your own businesses and also help others...

Hey I was curious about how competitive it is to get accepted into an out of state GPR or AEGD residency program?? I currently attend the OU College of Dentistry and don't plan to stay in Oklahoma City. My grades are good, I have a 3.7 halfway through second year and I help out with ASDA events...

Hi all! I think it would be helpful to have everything* that is useful in this forum put together in one easily accessible thread for everyone to use. I'll also be adding links to products so people know what sorts of materials are helpful for the DAT. Signing up to take the DAT: 1. Read these...

Hey guys! What resources and study strategies helped you the most with D1 classes? Classes like Gross Anatomy & Physiology, Microbio & Immunology, Nutrition, Dental Anatomy, Perio, all that good stuff. Realistically, sticking to the lecture slides is best, but what other methods and tools did...

Hi all, I'm an international dentist who is currently doing research. I haven't done any boards exam or GRE yet, and I'm planning to apply to ortho residency the next cycle. But to be honest, I'm getting tired of doing research. Is there any other programs (no residency) maybe clinical...

Please post: when your packet was completed Did you apply for the 4 year scholarship last year? What updates you’ve been given so far Also, anybody know when board dates are?

Alright, I'm a d-bag. I'll admit it. But in all seriousness, I've been fortunate enough to get acceptances from multiple schools. Going into this process, I had my top choice. But just last week I interviewed at a school and I really liked it. Now, I'm not so sure about the top choice. I was...

Today I was accepted by a couple of dental schools. How do scholarships work? If I was going to receive any money would it have been in the acceptance letter or do they wait until I put down a deposit? If that's not how it works then do I have to apply for them somewhere?

Hey guys. My dream dental school is Columbia and it became recent when I really wanted to go all in but I don't think I've started with the right path when I started school. My overall GPA is a 3.52 and my science GPA is pretty low 3.02 and that's where I have my biggest regrets... but on the...

AnP textbook recommendation to pregame for dental school? Haven’t taken AnP and would like to be familiar with the content when I start school next year.

hi guys I’m an international dentist and I was keen to apply for the aegd we stood UCLA. However I understand for a non coda grad it’s pretty competitive. However what’s the overview by on the ACT AEGD programme that the dept also offers? Is it worth the money to pursue it? I’m interested in...

I'm currently a third year (junior) and am applying into the 2020 application cycle. Some of the schools i'm interested in have certain required classes that, because of conflicts with my major-specific courses, I can't take until the spring semester of my senior year. Is this okay to do...
