Hi everyone, I know its very late right now but I am desperately looking for a SMP for pre dental (possibly a postbac program). I know application deadlines are usually in early June or July, does anyone know if there are any programs that are accepting applications as of now? Or rolling...

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

My DAT is in less than a month. I read through Cliffs one time and made flash cards on all the destroyer bio problems. I wanted to know you guys think would be most efficient/effective in addition to studying my destroyer flashcards: reading over Feralis, rereading Cliffs, or simply downloading...

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...

Very common question at this time of the year. Just trying to get all the help I can get :] Money is an issue at the moment and I would really appreciate advice from those who have applied and those who were in a similar position as me. I live in California. My number one realistic/desired...

Hello to all, so I'm just starting to study for my DAT, I'm wondering if there are any full-length practice exams that anyone could point me in the direction too. I already have a subscription to DAT Bootcamp. I'm concerned that I'm not going to get enough practice. Also, does anyone know if...

My AADSAS app is complete, all I'm waiting for is for the Professional Transcript Entry to be completed. I sent out a request to all the schools I've attended for my transcripts to be sent to AADSAS, and now I'm wondering if I can submit, or if I have to wait for Professional Transcript Entry to...

Does anyone have taken Biology and chemistry online for the pre dental ? I need a school name if you did and did you get into dental school. Thanks!

Really need help making this decision! I have my AADSAS application finished and ready to send out, but I'm sending it with a low DAT score. I'm retaking it in mid July and was wondering if I should send my application now or wait until the new updated score. Please weigh in on what I should 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...

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...

What schools should I NOT apply to if I took organic chem 1 and 2 with labs over the summer at a community college (A in 1, C in 2)? What schools are strictly against science courses at a CC? Just trying to narrow down my list before this application cycle begins in a few days. Thanks in advance.

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...

Sorry to be that guy that asks on this thread but i'm having a real crisis here. I'm on the fence on applying this coming cycle yet not sure if it's worth it with my stats. For those that have gone through this any and all feedback is greatly appreciated. So my stats.. 3.05 oGPA 3.26 sGPA 50...

Hello, I'm new here and I just need some advice about raising my science GPA and whether if Dental School looks into being in the Dean's List for long periods of time. I'm a Bio-Tech major and I just finished my last semester as a college sophomore and I had a 3.41 GPA with an Overall GPA of 3.2...

What are my chances of getting into ANY dental school given the fact that i'm from California... I know California schools are competitive and out of state students are not very favored... Thanks! Science GPA: 3.4 Overall GPA: 3.4 Undergrad: University of Southern California- B.S. Neuroscience...

I am preparing to apply to dental school June 1st and I know that there is a spot on the app where you can talk about your manual dexterity. Should I include that I do gunsmithing as a hobby? This includes woodwork, fix and repair, and restoration. I just do not want someone to throw away my app...

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'm a senior in undergrad about to graduate. I have an oGPA of 3.4 and a DAT score AA 24. Shadowing hours 400+ with two different dentists and pretty solid LORs. However I took Organic Chemistry I five times... The first time I dropped it (W) for literally no reason. The second time I took it in...

Hey everyone, I don't even know where to begin.. So in my biology lab I turned in my final report, a week later one of my classmates were struggling in finishing the report and kept texting me asking for help. I felt bad, considering he hadn't turned it in and it was going to be extremely late...

My experience and a little advice, Hey everyone, I wanted to share my experience and give a little advice to everyone applying/re-applying this year. I’m not sure how much of it will be helpful but here is some of the information I wish I had known. Hopefully I can save someone the stress...

I'm a junior at michigan state Uni, (grades are calculated by 4(A), 3.5(AB), 3(B), 2.5(BC), etc). Basically, after my terrible freshman year (that I got a 2.8), I've been on an upward trend towards the 3.31c GPA that I have now (I know, still bad but I was hoping I could raise it to a 3.4~ish...

Hi Everyone, I have a question about where I should have letter writers send their letters. I've heard of people using Interfolio but I'm not sure how this works. Do they send it to the website and then you send it out from there to the AADSAS? Also will interfolio hold letters even after you...

Hey Everyone, I know this has been discussed before, but I was looking at the the science course list for 2010-2011 and it looks like they have Cognitive Psychology (Any Department) listed as a science course. Is this accurate? It also says statistics from any department would count towards...

And how do you select the right dental school?

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...

Hey everyone, I have a couple of questions concerning LOR's: 1) The professor I do research with is under the psychology department, but he teaches classes such as cognitive psychology, physiological psychology, research methods, etc. He has a phd in neuroscience. Would he be considered as a...

So we have all heard that High School GPA is the true predictor of college success. However, in my situation, I have a really good ACT at 34, but a really average(probably bad) GPA at 3.7. I did take a ton of AP and honors classes but in High School I never had direction until senior year and I...

I have recently been stuck on the question - "What are you nervous about for Dental School?" Was this question brought up in anyones interviews? Thanks!
