Hi guys, I made this thread for all those who are applying to SMDEP 2017. Post your stats. And if anyone that applied before got accreted please help others by posting your stats and the schools you got accepted. Thank you and good luck.

Just had a quick question about the application. Could I submit the application while still waiting for the letters of rec/committee letter? Because I was told that would take two weeks and everything else is already ready to go so can I submit the app while the committee works on my letter...

Our dental practice is looking for an individual pursuing a career in dentistry. During the course of a year as our intern you will have the opportunity to learn essential clinical skills as well as how a successful practice is run as a business. The office is low volume that allows time for...

Hello, I took the DAT 6-16-16. I submitted my application right after I took the DAT. My GPA just got verified today and I am still waiting for my DAT scores to show up. My APP should be sent out to my school within the next 2 weeks. What are my chances? Here is a list of the schools that I...

I have currently finished my first year of college at a state school as a biology major and I'm thinking of transferring to University of Pacific for their pre dental program because that is what my career choice interest involves. I did okay my first year in both chemistry and biology with...

I am very interested in OMFS and have been wanting to become one since middle school. The problem is I am scared about the debt from dental school and that it will keep acrueing throughout a residency if I specialize. Can anyone help with opinions or experience please?

So I was a little misinformed at my school and was told my stats are a little low. I think they're pretty good and I just want other people's opinions that I am not crazy and my advisers were wrong. BCP: 3.62, without -/+ = 3.69 Science 3.73, without -/+ = 3.78 Non-Science: 3.85, without -/+...

Hi, So I had a couple questions about a DO/DMD program since I heard about it and was interested. I love both medical and dental field and am leaning towards dental but want to be involved with medical field. Is DO/DMD an option? What are the business aspects and advantages of a DO/DMD? What...

Hi, just thinking ahead for my next year's app cycle, will the statistics classes be considered towards the science GPA? I have taken 1 stat class called "Stat 133" with a "Concepts in Computing with Data" as a title and 1 stat class with "Public Health 142" on it (this class is a bio-statistics...

I know that ADEA AADSAS takes all grades into account for their GPA calculation, but the official calculation page also says that "Many college/universities count only the 'new' grade in the repeated course(s) in GPA computation" in case you've repeated a course. Does anyone have a list or know...

Hey guys, I am taking in the fall Orgo I A&P I Genetics I And in the winter Orgo II A&P II Microbio Cell and Molec Any tips or suggestions you guys have for me? I would greatly appreciate it. I am teaching Orgo and memorizing anatomy from the book and previous teacher PowerPoints during the...

Excellent study sources for the DAT. This set of books came with the $1200 Kaplan course I took to prepare for the DAT last fall. This Kaplan material guides you through lessons with tips and strategies to help you reason through this exam. Used these materials to study for the DAT in 2015 and...

First and foremost, I do not mean to offend anyone. I've started to look into Masters programs to do after graduation in order to increase my chances of getting into dental school. I watched a video on the school's website and it seemed like a shady ad for the program. I also read very...

Hi I am a student in University of Houston and I just transferred from Houston Community College. I wanted help on my credit hour selection for the upcoming Fall 2016 semester. My credit hours in HCC are as follows: Spring 2015- 15 hours Summer 2015- 13 hours (incl Chem 1 with lab) Fall 2015- 17...

Hi! I am applying for my second time around. I am from CT so last year I decided to only apply to east coast schools to stay closer to home (compatible or not). Unfortunately that got me zero interviews. After going through AADSAS's school guide I first found the schools that best matched my GPA...

Please don't judge me. I can't seem to find a science professor that will write me a LOR. One responded that he wouldn't because of my lab grade (ouch). Another hasn't responded. I have two Cs, so those professors are out. I'm having a weird epiphany like, maybe I am not prepared to apply...

Hi guys, I need some help. So, I'm going to be a sophomore in college and I have 54 credits. I'm in a 3/4 dual admission program and will be applying in a year. I will also be able to graduate after junior year provided I take a heavy course load. I want to get into UCLA dental school so I want...

Hello everyone, This is my second year applying for dental school. Is it OK to use my last year's recommendation letters or they're considered as old letters and not accepted? If anyone can help me, I really be appreciative. Thank you.

Anyone have any experience with the Gold Standard DAT prep books? I was considering ordering the chemistry one to supplement all other material that I have.

Hey everyone! Congrats to all those who have been accepted and good luck to those who will be applying/reapplying this upcoming cycle! I am in need of some advice for my current situation. I applied to dental schools this past cycle and have received a couple of interviews but was waitlisted...

First time posting on SDN, so I'm not sure if this is in the right place or not. But I'll get to it anyway: Basically, I've had a rough first year of undergrad. I go to a small, rigorous engineering school where I will major in mechanical engineering with a minor in biomedical engineering. It's...

Hi guys! I just had a quick question regarding classes. So I took an Ecology and Evolutionary Biology class in college but the subject was Animal Behavior. I noticed that "Animal Science" is considered "other science" while "Ecology" and "Evolutionary Biology" is "biology." Does the LOR depend...

Hi!! Im pre-dent with a very uncompetitive undergrad GPA (around 2.7). Had a lot going on my junior and senior year but somehow made it though and graduated although my GPA took a toll. I chose not to chance taking the DAT and just apply straight to Masters programs. So i took a year off and...

Hello! I'm entering my junior year of college and I've finally decided I'm going to take the DAT! What are the best courses that I should take in preparation for it? I am a biology and interdisciplinary psychology (BCN) major at University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. I've completed the intro...

First year applicant and I received 1 waitlist and still haven't heard from Touro. Looking for advice on if I should retake DAT, take a few more upper-level science classes or go the master route? Also, LOR can we use some of same people just have them revise their previous letters with updated...

I made a post earlier last week where I mentioned that this year was **** and how I want to go into dental school, also i am also a Canadian student and I finally got all my grades back for this semester, and they are better than I expected. I want to know if this is a good upward trend as it...

So I had a really **** first year, and I really want to go into dental school and I really hope this doesn't **** me over in the future. Also I am a Canadian student, and I haven't gotten all of my grades from this part semester yet, so far I have gotten an A+, and an A- and I am predicting a B...

Hello, I am currently a freshman at Duke University in Durham, NC. I am enjoying my time here and have made great friends. However, the cost of attendance is getting ridiculous. I will have to pay over $70,000 next year to attend school here. Also, I am not a fan of the super competitive...

Hi, so I'm currently a junior and I'm applying this June. I took all the required classes except for biochemistry, which I was planning to take it in Fall quarter of my senior year. Will taking biochem after applying affect my chances of admission to dental school? Will it delay any interviews...

I've recently decided to switch to a Pre-Dentistry track after having been a Political Science major the past three years. I have a decent GPA (3.9), however, I haven't taken any of the pre-requisites needed for Dental School. I've created an outline, somewhat, of how I can fit all of those...

Hi Everyone, I am curious about the English prerequisite credits for the dental schools that I will be applying to. Has any intensive writing courses counted towards English prerequisites for the schools you have applied/are applying to? I know about some of the schools, but I want to ensure...

Hello. I am currently a freshman at the University of Miami in Coral Gables, Florida. My major is Broadcast Journalism, but I am on the Pre-Dental track. Ultimately, my goal is to be a dentist. The reason I am posting this thread is because currently I am trying to make a decision on whether to...

Hello, I am about to receive a biology undergraduate degree this May, and haven't yet applied to dental school (will be doing that this summer). In order to stay on scholarship and an insurance plan I needed to stay enrolled full time at a university throughout next academic year. I figured I...

I am currently in a dental hygiene program at a community college that I plan to finish. It is two years and after I will receive my Associate's in Dental Hygiene. I had always thought I wanted to go to dental school, but now I am very seriously thinking about medical school as well. I chose...

I'm from Illinois and was accepted to both this cycle. Marquette has newer facilities and is only an hour and a half drive away. In terms of clinical education, which is superior? Marquette prides itself on early clinical exposure while temple has a bigger/underserved patient pool for 3rd and...

Hey Dental Students, I am a D3 at NYU College of Dentistry and am conducting a research project with one of the OMFS Faculty here, Dr. Marci Levine, DMD, MD. We are trying to examine what schools have an honors or selective program for D4's in OMFS in order to determine if there is any...

Hey just wondering but if I take a DAT prep course for the Canadian DAT (planning on doing both american and canadian) would that be good enough for the American? Basically, do they cover the same stuff (aside from the carving obviously)?

Please help, my alternatives may not be reachable anymore. Long story short, I didn't know dental schools combined ALL undergrad science grades (including retaken courses), so while my overall science GPA is a 3.2 (I know, too low to apply to dental school), my recalculated science GPA is around...

Hi everyone! I'm a freshman in college and I'm currently taking microbiology and anatomy..these are the first science courses I'm taking in a college setting and I'm afraid that I might end up with a B in micro, its not impossible that I'll get an A but in the high chance that I get a B, would...
