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...

so basically I have a 2.9 right now I will be applying for dental school this may and by the time My grades for this semester get here I will most likely have a 3.1. 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?

I have some time before dental school starts, so I started a Facebook page where I will post videos, tips, essays, and resources every day for predent students. The posts will hopefully encourage you to study hard, have fun, and do good along the way to becoming a DDS. The Predent Life Please...

Hi everyone! I know making this account and being on this website may be a little too ahead of my age (since I'm a senior in high school), but I wanted some feedback and opinions on whether I should attend UC Berkeley College of Chemistry or University of the Pacific 2+3 Accelerated Dental...

Hi! Just wondering.. I'm currently a soph in undergrad and I'm finishing up this semester w/orgo 1, and I'm taking orgo 2 over the summer.. Would it be a good idea to study for the DAT at the same time and take it sometime July/Aug? I have all my other DAT prereqs done. Just wondering because...

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!

Hello ! I graduated with my BA in Biology 4 years ago, and on my way into taking my DAT's to go into dental school. However, at that moment I was a 21 year old selfish, broke, in debt, student graduate. I was not ready to give up my time, more money, relationship, and family. Most importantly...

I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right place, but I'm currently in the Master of Medical Science program at LECOM. We have the same guidelines as the post bacc students (get 3.0 or better in the fall semester and don't fail any classes), which if are met will grant us an interview at...
