I just created an adea account and tried to purchase the adea guide to dental school book. It asked for $40 for the membership fee. What are benefits of being an adea member? and is paying $40 a one time thing or monthly?

Okay so during freshman year I got struck with an autoimmune disease and was hospitalized the week of finals for about a month and a half. I ended up failing all 3 classes I took that quarter (well, because I didn't take the final), but I returned a year later after I had fully recovered from my...

For some reason the dental offices in my area did not want anyone to shadow and the clinics did not want anyone to volunteer because they need DA training in order to be of any use. So I'm confused as to how I can get this experience? Maybe I am wording it wrong when I inquire about it. So what...

I found out about the program after I graduated from my CC as a sophomore with 61 credits. I am now transferring to my 4 year uni and was wondering if there are any programs formatted like that one for the second half of undergrad?? If there are, are any of them abroad? It doesn't have to be I...

Hey guys! Please please help me! I'm really struggling these days. I applied late September to many dental schools and got rejected from half of them and haven't heard back from the other half (which at this point means rejection) and got only one interview. I'm not sure if I should retake the...

Hey everyone, I graduated from college back in 2012 with a degree in Journalism and minor in English. After working in PR I realized it wasn't the career for me and ended up working at a dental office. After about a year, I decided I wanted to pursue a career in dentistry. It is completely...

As some of you may know I posted a pretty harsh rant a few weeks ago about how I feel taking advice from Dentists who haven't really had any professional experience before Dental School. I would like to apologize for the way I approached the situation, I did feel some of my points were correct...

Hi, I'm currently a undergrad senior looking for a post-bacc program. I had planned to take the DAT sometime in April, but don't know if it would be a good idea, especially with my classes this quarter. I think it would just be a good idea to take it during the summer and have ample time to...

Hello SDN, I recently graduate with an undergraduate sGPA 2.8 and oGPA 3.1. Basically I knew these numbers were not competitive enough for Dental Schools to consider me and didn't want to take the risk of waisting time so I enrolled into a 2 year Masters Program for Biology. I plan on taking...

I may get some hatred for this and frankly I will take it, I simply don't care. This is in response to a Dentist who talked to me in a very condescending manner because he/she is already a Dentist. Listen, if you went from High School to College to Dental School without working a full time job...
