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...

So I'm currently in my 4th semester at Texas A&M, and I feel like I'm not involved in enough things on campus, but I also feel like my schoolwork doesn't allow any extra time to join more organizations. Currently, I am a member of the Pre-dental society, and I volunteer at a local hospital on...

Hello everybody, I am a sophomore in highschool who would really like to go to dental school. I am a pretty good student and am in all honors classes. I'm going to take AP bio next year along with many math classes. So my question is: is it possible for me to do dental hygiene for 4 years and...

This is a honest question that I think about late at night sometimes and maybe you guys could help to ease my mind. I'm someone who loves to travel, originally I was an engineering/finance major and I always fantasized of having that dream job that allowed me to just do it all; travel, have a...

Hey SDN, I'm a 3rd year pre-dental student and was just thinking about some options for when I graduate. My GPA at the moment isn't too hot but I don't think its low enough/will be low enough by the time I graduate for a Post-Bacc. I was looking at the Global Medicine program at USC and it...

Hello, I'm a Canadian student currently going to college in the US (also a US citizen) and I'm leaning pretty heavily towards taking the Canadian DAT rather than the American version. Before I make a final decision, I'm trying to find out which American schools don't require the Manual...

Hi guys. I'm feeling a little desperate lately and truly don't know what to do anymore. I'm a senior at UF majoring in nutrition. My GPA is 3.38 :shrug:(I'm hoping to drag it up just a tiny bit by graduation T.T). Research: 1 year of basic grunt work in nutrition lab; Also does research class...

First post here... Looking for advice because I'm getting all sorts of mixed messages on this topic. I know how the program works, but I keep reading differences of opinion on whether or not I can envoke the fresh start if I already have a bachelor's degree. Tonight, while searching, I came...

Hey guys, I'm only a Sophomore in high school, yet unlike many people in my grade, I already planned my future out. I want to become a dentist because of good pay, good hours, and making people happy. I always loved making others feel better about themselves, and a good smile needs a dentist to...

Hi everyone! I'm sorry for the lengthy post! I am currently a freshman Biology major at the university in which I hope to attend dental school (reason why I am here). I moved to a city from a rural area this August where I was your average high school student. I am a hispanic first generation...

I will complete my bachelor's in a non-science major this fall, but gaps in my pre-requisites for dental school will require another full year of school. My question for people with relevant experience or knowledge of this situation is; would you recommend enrolling in a master's program to...

Thank you for everyone's help. Decided to apply to Dental school in the next round or so.
