I completed the Biomed program at Midwestern in Arizona, and I am currently a D1 at MWU. I am more than happy to answer any Qs. Just for starters, I want to clear up some myths: 1) If I do one of the masters programs here, I am guaranteed an acceptance. They only offer guaranteed interviews...

I'm feeling super anxious and would love any advice. I'm currently a third year undergraduate student with a 3.12 GPA. I know that's fairly low and I'm afraid my science GPA might be even lower. I haven't taken the DAT yet, and I'm not sure when would be the best time to take it. I was also...

Hi: I have nearly finished with all of the application. But I have not let anyone check my supplement short essay (within 1000 or 500 characters) yet. Today is June 30th. Should I submit them now or just wait until July 3rd(when the on-campus writing center open)? Is it too late? By the way...

I am happy with my scores except for the RC. I have a 3.8+ gpa,but how badly will this impact my admissions at the more competitive schools?

Haven't used either yet, wanted the insight of my fellow pre dents, or current dental students on how either or has helped in their knowledge of the subject. Just started studying for the DAT recently so wanted to make a proper decision in which one to purchase. Thanks.

I have already taken the DAT once. I took it last summer in July. I am retaking the DAT at the end of July this year (July 31st, 2017), so I have a competitive application. I know it is recommended to submit the application early, however, I want schools to consider my new DAT scores when I...

I jus finished my second year of college. I struggled heavily with my Biostatistics course and ultimately received a D. My school does not offer any grade replacements or retaking opportunities so unfortunately it is stuck on my transcript. My oGPA and sGPA is a 3.3. The class is no longer...

I couldn't find a thread for VCU's CERT Program for this upcoming fall (2017), so I figured I'd start one for anyone who will be attending/applying this program, especially for questions about the program, roommates, who's pre-med/pre-dental, etc. I was accepted a few weeks ago and have...

Hello, I dumb-goofed this semester. I am a sophomore in college and currently have a 3.3 GPA. This semester, I took a light course load for several reasons. I pledged into a professional pre-health fraternity, my mom got diagnosed with Hepatitis B, my father was diagnosed with early on-set...

I am a current freshman in college. Is it too early to take a practice DAT? I know I won't know more than half of the material but I just wanted to get a feel for it. Is it worth it or is it just a standardized test that I should take when I'm ready and start practicing for later?? Thanks!

Hey everyone! Pre dental student here. I know there are a lot of post on here about SMPs but I am wondering which program would benefit a student in my situation the most. I graduated from undergrad in May 2015 with a very low GPA (2.5 for both total and science). I took a year off from school...

Hello everyone, I am an international pre-dental student in the US. I wonder if anyone can help finding dental schools that accept international students. Thanks.

My graduating GPA is a 3.3 with a sGPA of 3.0. I did not do the best in my science classes and therefor do not have many A's. If I had a meaningful experience with a couple of teachers and received a B in his or her class; would it hurt to ask for a letter of rec from them or should I only ask...

Five books total, will sell them all for $50 plus cost to ship. Disclosure: These are old editions, thus the discount, but I assure you, the DAT matter has not changed and these materials will be just as helpful for you as they were for me (currently a D3, not sure why I waited so long to sell...

Hello Community, I have been fortunate enough to be accepted to both UCSF and UOP but I am having an agonizing time making a decision. In all honestly, I can see myself tremendously happy at both schools, so it is not a question of best fit, but what is best for my future. Since they're in...

I'm a senior, I have an overall GPA of a 3.2 and a science of a 3.0. My trend in grades is mostly upward. Will be taking a gap year for sure and will probably take a few classes that will boost the GPA. I have a ton of research (some lab, some in dental field, etc), shadowing, volunteering...

If you guys could give some solid advice for my personal situation I'd appreciate so much.

I know this might be silly to ask, but I'm honestly not sure at all what my chances are of getting into dental school. I'm a senior in undergrad at a large university majoring in business. After 3 long years of suffering through business courses, I realized it wasn't what I wanted to do. I've...

Okay, so I think I've reached an impasse in my future career goals. Currently, I am working as a dental assistant and I am in the process of applying to dental school. The issue however is that the more time I spend working in a dental office, the more I fear that this career path isn't for me...

Hi guys I'm sorry if this has already been answered before but I couldn't find a thread on it. Do I need to pay the USC processing fee ($85) now or after I receive a secondary? I submitted my ADEA AADSAS app and am currently waiting for my DAT scores to be uploaded. The wording on the USC...
