hello guys! I need help choosing and I would appreciate it if you guys can help me out... Ever since I was young I wanted to be a pharmacist .. Then when I was in high school I took a dental assisting course, it changed my life. All I wanted was to become a dentist. I graduated high school a...

So I applied to Dental School, took my DAT (and did very poorly). I applied a week before I took the DAT because I did not think I would do as poorly as I did. But anyway, I had already told myself that I would just wait until next year to retake the DAT and apply again for next cycle. I am...

Hey! (I really don't know where to put this thread so I'll put it here - mods, feel free to move it) Does anyone here go to or have gone to Lehigh University? I have some questions regarding their programs and research opportunities for pre-dental students. Thanks! -Fyz

Hey there, first time poster here.

Another important question: Should I wait until after I take the DAT to send in supplemental apps so that way I can assess if my scores are strong enough to secure admission somewhere. I just don't want to blow money on schools that I don't have a chance of getting in. I have paid for all the...

Anyone have any insight as to what time of day is ideal to take the DAT? Morning, afternoon, night? 8am, 12pm, 3pm, etc... ? I am currently scheduled for August 3rd at 4pm but I'm thinking of switching to August 8th at 8am.

I pretty much just want to see how destroyer has helped different people: How did you use DAT destroyer? How did it help you? After taking the DAT, would you have gone back in time and used Destroyer differently? Any feedback would be great. I am about to go through it for the second time. Exam...

I keep getting an 18 every time i take a Bootcamp PAT test. It's really annoying. Some days im stronger in some subjects, some days im weaker in others. (Keyhole, TFE, and PF hit me hard). Any advice on how i can get that up to a 22 would be great :D Exam is in ~3 weeks

Hello everyone!! Just had a quick question about skipping questions on the PAT section of the DAT. Exactly how do you do it? lol Do you have to go to the sections you want to do first and then hit review at the end? Or can you just skip to the sections you want to do first and then hit the...

hi , I'm started studying for the DAT and am interested in starting my applications, but I don't know how to approach everything. I am the only pre-dental student that I know of and the pre-health advisors are a load of **** in my school. is there a special app that I can use to apply to more...

I'm aiming for my 100 hours of shadowing (The so-called "Golden Number") across a range of dental specialties and general dentistry; however, is there a Golden Number for volunteering? The impression I'm getting is that most applicants have 2-3 times more volunteering hours than they do...

I took Gen Chem 1&2 last year. I received an A and B respectively in each course (My university doesn't assign letter grades like A- or C+). However, I was wondering if dental schools would frown upon me putting off Orgo until junior year, as I'd rather take physics and biology this year. What...
