I have interviewed at these schools. I wanted to know, beyond the front that schools put up, what's the real deal with them? University of Florida Virginia Commonwealth University Nova University of New England Midwestern, AZ Midwestern, IL University of Maryland, Baltimore Western...

So as the title says, I asked my professor for a recommendation letter but she says she wants to read my personal statement. The thing is I haven't written my personal statement yet because I dont plan on applying to dental school until June. I haven't shadowed a dentist yet and I only came up...

I'm currently majoring in chemistry and wanted to possibly add a human bio major. The credits align very well and I'll still graduate on time. What major GPA would dental schools look at? or would they look at both? also does it look better having another major?

Hi all, I am studying for the CBSE right now, plan to take it in February but really distraught because I have seen a few posts regarding the importance of an undergraduate GPA for acceptance into a 6 year program. My undergrad performance was, by no means, stellar (~3.3 if you don't...

So I recently switched over to dental school. I have gotten my one science letter of recommendation but my second professor retired and I am unable to reach him about the letter he promised to write me :(. So i am searching for another science professor but I was never that close to any of my...

Does anyone have a compilation of the clinical focused vs research focused dental schools? and the schools that are a mix of both? I'm applying next cycle and would like to know but I can't seem to find this detail much on the schools' websites! THanks!

Hello everyone! First, I'd like to thank you for taking the time to read this! I am just going to dive into this since I'm not quite sure where to start. I started my undergrad career with the hopes of going into the medical field, but along the way some things happened which caused me to get...

Hi, I am currently a D3 attending an accredited US dental school. As you may have assumed from the title, I am an international student who has no US citizenship nor a green card. I was wondering if anyone knows if I will have any limitations in applying to specialty programs. I am specifically...

I recently received an invitation to interview. My first one.. Yahoo !! However, when I went schedule the interview, the only openings were Jan 3&4. FYI... GPA is 3.41 DAT 20 PAT 19 First question... Is that a problem for admission sine it is after DEC ? Does it diminish my chances...

Just curious since I can't find this data anywhere. How many people did UF Dental interview vs how many they accepted?

Hi All, I wanted to know if there is any school that would accept my dat scores, I tried to lookup them up, however, dental schools usually post their avg. dat score. any help would be appreciated! QR 15 RC 15 OC 18 Bio 19 GC 19 PAT 20 AA 17 GPA 3.79

Hey guys so I recently took the DAT and here are my stats Bio-19 GC-23 OC-25 PAT-16 RC-22 QR-19 TS-21 AA-22 I am worried about my low PAT as it’s below the cutoff for many schools. Do you think my relatively good AA will offset that? I am also currently a junior with a 3.88 GPA and 3.82sGPA...

Hi guys, I am a bit confused. Today, I decided to check my WesternU secondary portal and it says all my letters, fees, DAT scores, and application were received. However, it still says "awaiting Pending course". The pending course is for my organic chemistry lab. That is the only prereq that I...

Hey guys this is my first post on here I just wanted to get some ideas of my chances for getting interviews or whether I should potentially retake the DAT! I took it for the first time yesterday morning and my scores were as follows: BIO: 20 GC:18 OC:27 RC:21 QR:19 PAT:20 TS:20 AA: 21 I have a...

Hello all SDNers! I submitted by AADSAS application at the beginning of July and received a few interviews since that time. As school is rolling back again, I am also beginning to prepare for my interviews in which the first is mid-September. I have not done any interviews as important as the...

Just wondering what the day to day was like

I'm a D3 and starting to look into externships for OMFS. I've read countless threads and done my own research and on 4 vs 6 year programs and I've decided that given my currently family situation, age, and where and how I plan to practice, a 4 year program is the route I want to take. My...

I'm interviewing at LECOM dental school and haven't seen much about their interviews. What is their style like and what types of questions do they ask? Any major things I should know about the school? Thank you in advance!

Hi all, so every thread and their mother says that the 2009 exam is the best predictor of your actual DAT. My test is in a little over a week and I was looking forward to taking the exam a couple days before to see where I stood. Can anyone provide/email me a link or pdf to the 2009 practice...

Hello! So I have made a few posts regarding the DAT as it is definitely the weakest aspect of my application. I have taken the DAT before and scored quite poorly... 17... ouch. I have been studying quite consistently reviewing materials to stay brushed up. But I am currently studying much harder...

So after a lot of research I finally decided that being a dentist is the best field for me. I had been pre pharmacy until now and have lots of pharmacy tech hours that are worthless. I have a 3.90 GPA and am going to start studying for my DAT starting september, I also have my letters of...

Hey guys, here are all the schools I've submitted to. UCLA UoP USC WesternU UCSF Maryland Pittsburgh Rutgers I want to add 2 more schools and I have decided between Temple, Michigan, and Tufts. Which 2 schools do you think I should add. I am leaning towards Temple and Michigan, but Tufts feels...

Okay so this is going to sound extremely nerdy, but whatever. In my free time I paint these little super detailed figurines. Would that be a good or bad thing to mention/ use as an example of manual dexterity? I feel like it would be, but I don’t want to seem weird or anything.

I am planning on submitting early for both Air Force and Navy HPSP. I have a 3.80 GPA and a 22 DAT score. I am posting this to see what you guys think my chances are on getting the scholarship. Obviously I know that there are many other factors that are involved in getting the scholarship too.

I took CDCA exam on friday and i failed it (class 2). I failed DSC two month ago and i am really worried because if i fail either DSC or CDCA one more time, i have to retake all exams (DSC + CDCA + manikins). but my actual concern is not retaking exams but retaking 4th year in dental school...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows if it is generally considered a good sign if you are interviewing at a school early in their cycle? I know dental school is rolling and your personal interview is obviously a big factor, but since decisions don't come until December is their any advantage or...

Hi! I was recently told that Case Western is changing a lot of things in their dental school. I'm really considering this school so if anyone can help me out with these questions, that would be wonderful! 1.) What are the clinical requirements for graduation? Number of crowns, restos...

Brain is scattering and I'm dying for opinions even though the decision will be ultimately left for me... So I love love love emergency medicine. I'm currently an EMT, and have wanted to practice it since highschool. Only problem is I know the hours can be hectic so it's going to bust time...

Hey everyone! I’m new sdn and I wanted to use my first post to gather some opinions. A little about me— I am a veteran of the United States Air Force and current student-athlete. While in the military, I served as a dental assistant and was awarded the Military Outstanding Volunteer Service...

So I just took my DAT for the second time and I’m stuck. I’m not sure how I feel. The first time I took the DAT I got: PAT-20 QR-16 RC-20 BIO-19 GC-17 OC-16 TS-17 AA-18 This time around I got: PAT-22 QR-16 RC-20 BIO-21 GC-19 OC-19 TS-20 AA-19 I am currently working as a Dental assistant at a...

Getting semi-ready to graduate and realizing that dental school teaches you next to nothing about the business side of things. Looking for any recommendations on good books to read that can help with gaining knowledge and information on being prepared to potentially own a practice/ being a...
