pre dental

I applied in 2015 and didn't get in so I waited to build my app and now I am applying this year. Do I include the fact that I applied in the past in my personal statement? I have read on several of these posts that you can just update the old personal statement with the new stats and information...

Currently I am a sophomore pre dental student with a 3.47 overall gpa and a 3.73 Science GPA. I was just wondering about chances of acceptance with these stats and also what DAT score would put me in a competetive range with these stats! I would appreciate any advice.

Hey guys, I'm a Junior in college doing a Human Biology major and was wondering what my realistic chances are of getting in to dental school. I have yet to take the DAT which I'm doing after I take organic chem 2 in the summer. Also I have a stuttering problem which I filed as a disability at my...

I'm a biology major at a top 40 university (USA) with a liberal arts curriculum. I entered school without any clue about what I wanted to do with my life and, long story short, that theme has pretty much painted my entire experience here. I'm now a second semester senior and I'm considering my...

I know LECOM has a post bac/masters program that guarantees an interview to their dental school.Which other schools do this too?

I am currently enrolled in the online pathophysiology from UC Berkeley extension with Peter Niloufari. Has anyone taken this course? If so how hard was it? I am actually nervous about taking my first exam because it will be timed. Need some guidance. Thank you.

I am a freshman and I am worried whether I have what it takes to make it through pre-dental coursework and make it into dental school. I've spent my first year so far as an undecided major and took gen-eds and got a 3.84 my first semester. In high school I got a 3.91 with a 1160 on the SAT (I...

Hey did anyone apply for this summer's UCLA PREP? If yes, do you know when we're getting our decisions? (either early decision or rolling) OR has anyone ever participated in this program before? If yes, what was your experience like?~ Thank you!

Hi everyone, I am a double major in Philosophy and Biology (I know they are very different.) My first two years of college I had to work full time because I had to pay for college while I was a full time student too. I did my best to keep my grades up and did well on biology, got A- on both...

Hey, guys! :) Starting my undergrad at Montclair State University (Major: Molecular Biology; Concentration: Medicine; Minor: Public Health) with the hopes of going to Rutgers School of Dental Medicine (I’m applying for their 7 year program my junior year to be more specific). I was wondering...

Hi guys! So I had 3 pre-dec interviews (2 waitlist, 1 on hold) and 4 post dec interviews. I wanted to send out a pdf of things I have done this past semester and that I will be TAing next semester to schools that I haven’t heard back from and the ones I am waitlisted to. I already did my...

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...

Hi, I am a freshman (Biomedical engineering-WPI) who intends to transfer to MCPHS-Boston to attend the Dental Hygiene BS (pre-dental) program. This is because I found out the school seems to provide clinical experience, located at Boston (closer to my acquaintances) and the tuition fee is...

Hi all, So I plan on applying to dental school in the next cycle and had a question. I know that many schools give preference to residents of their state. I was planning on moving from Pennsylvania to Texas this May (2018) and applying to TX dental schools the same month though TMDSAS. I was...

Hi, I am a junior in college, up until this semester, I was pre med. I am considering switching to pre dental because of a life experience. In 2016 I was diagnosed with a tumor in my mandible and in the summer of 2017 I went through the process of getting my tumor removed and I am currently...

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...

Hello, im trying to create a resume to submit for the dental schools to see, but i do not know which template will stand out the best. Does anyone have a template that i can use and fill out my own information? I feel like every template I've chosen does not have a nice setup and makes the...

(Hey guys, so this is my first time posting on this forum, so please if I've asked an already answered question, forgive me, I'm still trying to figure my way around on this lol) So currently looking at the pre-req classes that I have left and given that my gpa is pretty low :( would...

Where would you go and why? context: I'm a WI resident

Hello ! I’m just wondering if any of you from the West coast got any acceptance call from UNE ?

Many dental schools recommend taking A&P, so I decided to register for "Human A&P". My college also offers Physiology by itself (not Anatomy however) but its an upper level biology course so I thought that Human A&P would suffice for dental schools. I still have time to take it off my schedule...

Hello everyone, I've been lurking for quite some time now and decided I needed some advice and peace of mind on my ideas for the DAT prep, since I've already seen some amazing support system on other posts! I currently have a 4.0 GPA (including Chem 1&2, Ochem 1&2, Bio 1&2, Biochem, Anatomy &...

Hey guys I'm a senior in high school who has been pretty set on becoming a Nurse Anesthetist but I'm having second thoughts. I'm just thinking that since it is going to be a doctorate degree by the time I'm in CRNA school that I should just do pre-med or pre-dental rather than nursing. There are...

Thank you!

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...

Hi everyone, I'm a pre-dental student in NC. I have a few concerns and questions about a few things. To start off I'm a freshman in college but I came in with my associates of science degree currently at (57 credits, after this semester I'll be 72 credits with 67 credits remaining), I have had...

So recently I’ve been going to a local dentist that takes Medicaid to get my fillings and root canals done. During one root canal the sx file separated near the root of my tooth. My dentist said I have to visit a specialist/endodontist so they can remove it or file around it. So we went to the...

I was hoping to apply during the 2018-2019 cycle but i am feeling discouraged about my low gpa. I go to a small private college and I did horrible my first semester from goofing off (2.4). got a 3.5 my second semester but then one of my parents got terminally ill and family stress resulted in my...

Has anyone shadowed any dentist in Gainesville? I've been calling and haven't had any luck. Do you guys have any tips. I already volunteer in the Shands dental clinic, but don't know if this is considered shadowing hours.

Hi! I have a 3.7 overall GPA, and 3.6 science GPA. I have a 22 on the DAT total, 22 TS, and 21 PAT. I am very involved on campus, leadership opportunities, etc. What are my chances with these stats?

i don't know why i feel so nervous for dec 1st. It's so long from now. I am blessed to receive 6 pre dec invites and 1 on dec 6th! And i don't consider myself as a great interviewee but i am not bad at it either. People asked me how did i do after every interview and i always tell them that i...

I am currently taking Organic chemistry Lec/Lab, Cell Bio Lec/Lab, Anatomy&Physiology Lec/Lab at the same time. Of course I might do a little bit better in each one if I stayed in school longer to spread these out over more semesters, but as long as I do well in all of them will this help show...

Hello, everyone. I am currently taking Organic Chemistry Lec/Lab, Anatomy&Physiology Lec/Lab, and Cell Biology Lec/Lab. I am doing well in all of my lectures but I have been giving less time to prepping for all of my labs/studying for pre-lab quizzes since they are worth only 1 credit each and...

hey guys. So I took my DAT last year and scored low. Like an 18AA 18TS 16QR 19CHEM/OCHEM. Applying this year was kind of a gamble for me. So as soon as i submitted my AADSAS in june, i immediately starting studying for my DAT retake. I did this so if i wasnt to get in, I would be ready for next...

Hi everyone, I was just wondering how early I should sign up for the DAT if I want to take it in early 2018 (between January and March?). I want to have my scores available early enough so that way I can apply for the 2019 cycle when the application pool opens on June 1st of next year. If you...

I'm a dental hygienist practicing for about two years. I'm thinking about heading back to school in order to apply for dental school. Although some would balk at this idea, as shown in previous threads from RDHs looking to apply, I do not see myself staying as a clinical hygienist for long and...
