Hello, I have recently committed to NYU's 7-year BA/DDS program. I received excellent financial aid and my parents are covering the rest of the cost so I should be coming out of undergrad debt-free. I just wanted to know if there are any other people on this site that are currently in this...

Hi everyone. Recently I applied to the Biotechnology Masters Program at Rush University and I recently did a phone interview. Does anyone know how soon the decisions come out or if anyone has already been accepted please let me know how long it took to get back to you? Thanks it would mean a...

Hello, I have the ability to take either a beginning drawing class or a beginning digital photography class this quarter. I already took a beginning sculpture class. Which of the two aforementioned classes do you guys think Dental schools would care more to see? Any opinions or comments would...

Hi everyone! I've been looking for a thread like this for the upcoming application cycle specifically, and haven't found it anywhere. So I figured I'd start one myself :) I'm relatively new to SDN besides the occasional stalking for other pre-dents who are starting to freak out about this...

Hi there, so I've been having a little bit of a crisis as to what I want to pursue once I'm done my undergrad. Since I started university, and even before that, I had wanted to be a dentist. Mostly due to my orthodontist and how amazing my smile looked after my transformation from my (sorry for...

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.

Here to answer any questions about the HPSP program for dental school. It is one of our most competitive programs and any help I can give about the application process or other questions you have. I am a current Army Healthcare Recruiter so will only be able to give answers about the Army.

Hey Guys, I've spent a lot of time going through these forums to determine what makes a successful dental applicant, but one thing that seems to get glossed over are ECs. While overall stats are important, dental admissions use a holistic approach when it comes to interviewing/accepting. I'd...

I have a bachelor's degree in Sociology and I am currently in school to take the science pre-requistes to enter dental school. I haven't attended school on campus for a few years and my degree didn't require a lot of science and math classes. This is my first semester taking science...

Disclaimer: I know a ton of these exist and I truly apologize. I've read so many but I'm still stuck. I am a recent graduate and I completed my undergrad Biology degree with a cumGPA of 2.75 and a sGPA of 2.7. Clearly my GPA is awful and I attribute it to laziness along with culture shock. I...

Located at Barry's Hollywood campus. If you have any questions, please ask!

I am currently a second year student at Texas university and decided I want to do dentistry. My pre-dental advisors all recommend that i major in some biological science if I wanna increase my chances of getting into Texas A&M (Baylor) college of dentistry. But I honestly am thinking of doing...

I have a 3.55+ gpa and around a 3.1 sci GPA as of now. 1. Given my spring course load I will be able to pull my sci GPA to around 3.2. I have room to add genetics into my schedule, which could increase my sci gpa a bit more. I am also planning to take the DAT this (spring) semester. Should I...

I am currenlty working as a Army Healthcare Recruiter. I have been doing so about 4 years. So far I have had HPSP in medical, dental, optometry, nurse practioner, CRNA and veterinary programs. I also have had someone accepted into the Masters in Social Work, GPN program at Baylor and LTHET...

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...

On December 1st, I was accepted to the 3 dental schools in Texas and I only have about 20 days left to decide where I would like to attend. I have been reflecting and researching for a while now, but I keep going back and forth between the three schools. At this point, I am leaning towards Texas...

Hi! I'm on the verge of finishing all of my remaining prerequisites to apply to dental school. The only classes left are organic chemistry 2 and biochemistry. My grades from physics and organic chemistry 1 aren't in yet, but I've been between a low A and a high B in both classes. Right now, my...

Hey guys, First time posting. Currently, I am a junior in my undergraduate and am applying to dental school in the summer of 2017. Couple questions: What are your guys thoughts on taking the DAT twice, if necessary, before applying? I know you need a 90 day gap between tests, so I am trying to...

I have an interview next week but I am wondering if the interviewer will ask the status of my pre-December interviews. As it stands, I was accepted to one school! However, the school next week is my top choice so I am looking for advice as to how I should handle that if it comes up (which I am...

Hey all, I'm gearing up for my genetics final (t minus 18 days) and I'm looking for some good review resources that others have used. The final covers a lot of material, so I'm looking for tips and/or resources to help maximize my efficiency while studying. Any recommendations would be much...

Hello, I am a 29 yr old international working in US for last 5 years and I have my bachelor degree from non US university and have a master degree in Management from an accredited university in US. After working in a monotonous It related field, I now want to pursue Dental degree and I don't...

Its hard finding information on school reputations..whether or not a school is good...which schools are better than others..so, I was wondering if anyone knew how to find dental school rankings (although i heard there aren't any). Has anyone heard of these schools, and what have you heard about...

Hello I was wondering if someone could tell me if I have any shot of acceptance down the road with grades like these without having to do extra schooling post-undergrad? I'm only in my Sophomore year and I'm trying to grind out the grades, but Idk... Things are not going as I expected. Gen Bio...

Hey guys, I am a applying to some dental schools in Europe and one of the questions on the application is "How do you plan to pay for your dental education?". Truth is, I have worked and saved my money throughout my undergraduate degree, but my parents will be helping me to pay for the rest...

Hi everyone! Im planning on taking the DAT this coming summer but i will be studying all summer and taking it at the end. I was curious as to what material i should be using? Based on previous standardized exams i'm not the best at english/reading comp. Im currently taking bio 1 now and will be...

Care to share where you went for Undergrad? Do you feel your school is/did adequately prepare you for Dental School? Is there anywhere you wish you went instead/regrets? Was the school close to or far away from home and do you feel that had an effect on your growth as an individual? Would...

Hello, So yeah I know it sounds weird but I am currently working towards obtaining my private pilot's license. Flying has always been something I have enjoyed and I am finally learning how to do it myself! That being said I would not want to be a commercial pilot. I have been mulling over what...

Hello everyone, I just wanted to get your advise on how to improve my application for dental school. Im planning to apply next year.. I currently have a 3.1 gpa and I'm not sure what my science gpa is, but I'm estimating that it should be around the same.. I know it does not sound good, but I...

I think any of us who are serious about going into Dentistry, Medicine, Pharmacy and the like have at some point had to make a sacrfiice for the sake of achieving that DDS or MD. This is just a very demanding line of study. But, nevertheless those of us who are passionate about this line of work...

Hello, I recently transferred from a top 50 to a very small, no-name school close to home. After this semester is over I am thinking of attending DePaul University to complete my undergraduate studies. Can anyone enlighten me on DePaul's reputation to outside of midwest Dental Adcoms (e.g. USC...

Done. I don't appreciate DM's with rude content from the person I called out. And I didn't name. They know who they are.

"Why do you want to be a dentist?" Me, I went in for the prestige and for myself mainly. And yes, I went after it for the money as well. Being completely honest, talking about community service and all of that never really fit well with me. I never volunteered for anything in high school and...

Hello. So I know this is an interesting and somewhat odd dilemma and would really be open to some honest advice and opinions on the best route to go. If you look at my previous threads you can get some background into the situation, but here it is. I attended my freshman year at the University...

So this is my situation. I am a pretty bad test taker and it affected my first year of college the most. I am very interested in dental school but the reality is that my GPA is not amazing and this is really making me wonder if I should bother spending $3000 dollars just applying. I am just at...

All my life I have always wanted to become a physician. I am about to start my second year of college (yay) and my Uni has a pre-dent program. It caught my interest so I looked into dentistry a bit and holy crap do I regret that lol. Now I am confused and a bit worried about which career path I...
