I know I will not make it into Canadian dental schools due to the rough first year I had (due to major illness). I am a music major currently in my second year. My first year GPA was 2.4 (like I said, I was very sick), but first semester of this year, it was 3.3, which bumped my CGPA up to 2.74...

Software developer tops list of U.S. News & World Report's annual best jobs rankings According to U.S News ranking dentistry is now rank at #4 :( It was #2 in 2018 and #1 the years before. What do you guys feel about that? With how expensive dental school has become is that affecting your...

Hey guys, just want to get some opinions on this one. I'm stuck between the three. Case has that new shiny building. Temple's got that extra good curriculum. Louisiana's got that early patient exposure. Overall, I want to be a good clinician and all three offer ample opportunity for that. Which...

Alright, I'm a d-bag. I'll admit it. But in all seriousness, I've been fortunate enough to get acceptances from multiple schools. Going into this process, I had my top choice. But just last week I interviewed at a school and I really liked it. Now, I'm not so sure about the top choice. I was...

Okay, I've decided to enlist in the military. I have already taken my asvab, but as you know today is labor day and all the military recruiting offices are closed. I've decided to join the military ( which branch Air force or Army?) . I'll be 24. Before I ask any questions I have about 30...

When doing course matching, can you select ALL relevant courses that satisfy that requirement or are we only supposed to select one? For example, when selecting for "biology with lab" can I select 4 different biology courses with labs that I've taken or am I supposed to only select one?

Hi all, so every thread and their mother says that the 2009 exam is the best predictor of your actual DAT. My test is in a little over a week and I was looking forward to taking the exam a couple days before to see where I stood. Can anyone provide/email me a link or pdf to the 2009 practice...

Hey guys, So I am currently in the process of studying for the DAT. To preface my question, I have taken the DAT before and studied roughly 3 months in advance. Unfortunately I did not get the score I was hoping for and was below the average admitted score. I am curious if it is "acceptable" or...

So its almost 1 am and of course im looking at some of the stats on here-- it got me thinking, that sometimes this feels completely impossible. What the actual f sdn???? I've been on this run for about 3 years now since graduating with my undergrad. I'm 26, Working as a dental assistant I'm...

Hi all, Do dental schools care if I PNP breadth courses? I have not taken any science or prereqs as PNP. Thanks

Hey people, hoping some of you could help me out as you guys probably have more experience than me regarding this stuff. I have a list of 23 schools here and I want to shorten it down to around 15 schools as that is the normal. I mainly want to be within or around PA, but also open to OOS...

I volunteered at my local hospital throughout my four years of high school and accumulated over 300 hours of volunteering. Would this be something to include in my dental application or are schools looking for volunteer experiences throughout college? Thanks in advance.

Hey people, so I’m kind of in a predicament here and was looking for some thoughts and opinions. I’m currently filling out the AADSAS application and wanted to have it finished by June 5 to submit it as soon as it opens up. However, I’m realizing this won’t happen if I want to get a committee...

I am losing hope and would just like to have some opinions and advice on where to go from here. I have applied to dental school twice, but I know my stats are really low. I have a lot of dental experience, leadership and volunteer experience. Here are my stats: undergrad cGPA: 3.1 undergrad...

However I got a d+ in organic chemistry1 a B- in organic chemistry 2 I failed anatomy and physiology 2 and retook it for an A at a...

Hey guys. I'm a little freaked out - this whole time, I've been preparing for the dental route (started shadowing, learned terminology, did some assisting with my dad's friends), even choosing a college that has an articulation program for dental, but not for medicine. After a month of hard...

Hey guys, This is my first post and I'd really appreciate any feedback! I graduated last May, and took this year off to travel/study for the DAT. Dental school is undoubtedly the goal. I have done research outside of SDN about which route to take but keep getting conflicting answers. I want to...

Hey all, So I will be applying this upcoming cycle once the application opens up in June 2018. I have talked to numerous friends who have already applied and gotten into schools and they all say to apply as early as possible. I know some say that it doesn't make a real difference but I want to...

Hey guys and girls, I'll try to be short with descriptions. I'm now a Senior, last semester of my undergrad. I switched my major to Interdisciplinary Studies & Pre-Dental in my second semester of undergrad, which staggered all my prereqs and classes to be taken a little later than usual...

Are electronic copies of the letters submitted with online applications or are they physically sent in and you should therefore ask for multiple hard copies? Should the letters from dentists explicitly state how many hours you have shadowed with them?

Hey everyone! I'm super confused on what to do during my gap year. I'm applying to dental school this spring and am currently studying for the DAT and plan on taking it in April. During my gap year, I really wanna do something that will increase experience and make me look well rounded. Does...

I am a high school senior. I recently got an interview for the VCU Guaranteed Dental program. Are the interviews for these programs different than the interviews for dental school? Do you guys have any tips specific to the BS/DDS interview?

I haven't taken classes in two years, took one last semester, and am not taking anything this semester because I want to study for the DAT instead. Is this a bad idea?! I took the DAT in 2015 and got an 18... I definitely need to improve. I've forgotten a lot of material so I will be relearning...

I'm interested in the MoP program as a means of gaining acceptance into dental school, but I have a few questions for anyone who has enrolled in/researched the program - 1. For a student with a low gpa, but all prereqs fulfilled, is this program better or worse than a postbacc program? 2. Is...

hello everyone, Quick question... I have been asked on a secondary application for dental school on what I have done in the last year to improve my 'critical thinking'... Does anyone have any idea on what they are looking for? Please give me some suggestion and thank you!

Hi everyone! So I just received my MCAT score on Tues and I scored in the 10th percentile!! :( It was really devastating for me considering this is the third time I've taken this exam with **minimal** improvement. Nonetheless, I took a practice DAT and I made a 20 and that was with little...

So, it's been a while since i shadowed Drs. and upon asking if i would given a type of written doc. that specifies the hrs. of shadowing and other details? i was told that this is the first time a pre-dental student asked for that. Even though this might be a little bit late for me to ask, but i...

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 guys! So I've decided to take my DAT in January before spring classes begin. I will be taking kaplan from October 1st - Decemebr 6th. I also plan on self-studying all of winter break with DAT Destroyer and Chad's Videos.. (by the way, does anybody recommend DAT bootcamp for self-studying as...

So I talked to my advisor today about what her previous students have done that have gotten into Dental School, and she told me that one of her previous students, (A non-urm girl if it matters) had a OGPA of 3.3 and a science even lower than that. However, since her sophomore year, she had been...

So my DAT is in two weeks and I'm aiming for at least a 21-22, which is very doable with the amount I've studied and the results I'm getting back from my practice tests besides biology which I'm averaging a 19... Everything else I've been scoring well consistently. I've been studying from...

I am selling my subscription to DAT bootcamp. I have a little more than 2 months left on it. I'm selling it for 100$, but you can also email me best offers. [email protected]

does anyone know if TY Jacobs notes and Feralis notes were created based on cliffs ap? Kaplan? A random bio textbook? I'm trying to see what the best source is to use coupled with their notes so I could use a primary bio study source then refer to their notes for a summary or refresher?
