Trying to build my schedule for next semester. Plan on taking DAT afterwards. Which class will be more beneficial for the DAT- Biochem or human phys?

I'm currently looking for some books to help me prep for the DAT and I came across Dr. Romano's DAT destroyer and the Organic Chemistry Odyssey. I already have the DAT Math Destroyer and this book only has practice exams. Are the other Orgoman books the same or can anyone who has used these...

Hello, I am currently interested in the health field. I have always wanted to become a psychiatrist, but I have doubts about becoming a doctor. many people say it is hard and a dentist has a better lifestyle. You can have a flexible life and earn about the same as a dentist so this career has...

Hey Everyone, A few Questions: 1) Do classes taken in the MPH program count towards your science GPA? The reason I ask this is because I see that a lot of people here have completed a MPH and I was wondering if that benefits your application in any way? 2) Do classes taken in a Neuroscience...

About a year ago, I had no idea what I wanted to do with the Biology degree I would be obtaining after I graduate from my University. I was given the suggestion to look in to dentistry and turns out, I love it! I shadowed a few dentists and seriously see myself doing what they do for the rest of...

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...

Hey everyone. I am new on here and I am currently struggling in my school and in the process of transferring to a new one. I graduated from high school in 2014 and attended a private university as a freshman. I ended up becoming severily depressed and took a medical withdrawal. I returned in...

Hi guys, Just a quick question I cannot find an answer to anywhere. Would it look bad on my dental school application if I shadowed/volunteered at a dentist office or clinic everyday for three weeks? (I'm looking to shadow 8 hours everyday and get in a total of 120 hours over the 3 weeks)...

so long story short, my sophomore year of high school i got a car and my parents give mace to keep on my keychain for protection. my senior year one of my teachers noticed it and reported it to the principle and because i was on a high school campus and it's considered a weapon, i received a...

Just wanted to see if anyone has received any acceptances, waitlists, or rejections from Maryland since 1/20. The school has been silent and a lot of post December interviewees (including myself) are waiting to hear back. The expected wait time according to admissions was said to be not set and...

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...

Hi Guys, this is my first time posting on here and I apologize if there is already a thread like this one, but I tried reading some and non exactly pertained to me so I thought I'd go ahead and post my story and see what you guys think. Please if you have anything rude to say don't say it...

Hey yall, Is anyone in the Dallas area going to Houston's Pre-Dental Day? I haven't had any luck with getting a ride from any of the other pre-dents at my university and I doubt anyone will step up. :( I'm willing to pay for part of gas and parking aside from being a travel companion.

So I have the DAT tomorrow.... Is it better to cancel for 100$ or just not show up? And is there any consequences at all for not showing up other than losing the money which will happen anyways if I reschedule? Just trying to confirm it is better to skip

I am considering the SSP program from Upenn. Obviously Penn has an incredible reputation but I want to know how well this program helps pre-dentals get into dental school. Does anyone have personal experience or know any success stories? Thank you!

Dental school is not a good financial decision. The cost of attendance they hand you is about 30% lower than it will actually be because it doesn't include accrued interest, tuition increases, or origination fees. Here is the truth. I have practiced for over 15 years living paycheck to paycheck...

Hi guys! I haven't seen this thread yet, so I thought I'd start one :) I just got accepted and I'm really excited to start. Has anyone else heard back? Are there any current students that have advice about the program?

So I transferred from a CC with one quarter of O-Chem which counted as 30AL, 30A, and 30BL (20A/20B/20L completed). I am taking 30B right now but wanted to know if 30C/30CL are necessary for most dental schools that require one year of O-Chem and lab. I talked to my departmental counselor and...

Hey guys... This is my official cry for help i don't know why I've been so anxious about this. This is my first year in university (U of Manitoba... that's in Canada just in case anyone's wondering) and I'm just so confused about this whole dentistry thing... I really REALLY REALLY want to get...

Has anyone been accepted to the 2017-2018 class yet? I applied, and still waiting to hear back!

Hi, Long time reader of the sub 3.0 thread which has motivated me a lot and am need of some advice. So I graduated from undergrad with a 2.6 and have been doing a postbac for about 3 years and maintaining a gpa of 3.87 but after calculating my GPA it would only bump me up to a 2.98-2.99 (and...

Just thought I'd make a forum to see when people start to hear back from these post baccs !

Hi guys! So, I've been a lurker for quite some time. I'm in a bit of a dilemma. My decision to do dental was a fairly recent one, and I want to apply this cycle (I'm going to be graduating this spring). I was going to do PA before, but I changed my mind. So, stats: Overall GPA: 3.5 Science...

hello, i am a freshman (and a half) kinesiology major desiring to attend a dental school. i graduated high school in May 2016 and I've been going to school year-round since. I plan to graduate a year early which would be in 2019 and I want the keys to success to being able to enter dental school...

Hi everyone, I am 25 years old and working as a construction engineer for a general contractor in Califonia. After working for more than two years in the industry, I have realised I don't want to do it for the rest of my life. I want to switch career and pursue my dentist dream so I want to...

SO...ANYONE KNOW THE DATES THE DAT IS BEING OFFERED FOR 2017???

As a predent who had to figure out a lot on my own, I thought this thread would be helpful for future predents.

Hey everyone! So I started studying for the DAT early December and it's scheduled for February 8 (about 2 months of studying). The first month I spent about 6 hours a day in average studying and have been studying 8-10 a day since the beginning of January (1 month before test). I've seen some...

Happy New Years Everyone! My name is Dr. Katherine Loi. I am a current Army Dentist and graduate from USC Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry. As an army dentist, I frequently get asked a lot of questions about how to become a dentist. Using my own experience / frustrations during my...

Hello all i'm considering this year applying to Dental School. My GPA is a 3.61 (Biology major) rn will be probably around a 3.63 by the end of next semester my AA for my DAT was 23. Where should I consider applying/ should I take a gap year to beef up my application a bit? My chances for Stony...

This upcoming semester I am enrolled in 5 courses, 13 credits. But I want to drop one course bringing it down to 10 credits as I am not really interested in the course and I don't think I will do good in the course(labour studies). It should also be mentioned that I am in my second year and I...

I messed up pretty badly my first attempt in undergrad as a bio/pre-med major. I had taken 12 credits (orginally 15 but I dropped a class). Out of high school I had a 1200/1600 SAT and 3.2 GPA (did not study very hard ever). My grades for that semester resulted in my GPA being at a measly 0.45...

Hi guys, Thanks for helping and answering questions. It's an excellent moral support. A little background, I am a post-bac student meaning that I have a BA in psychology. However, I am enrolled as a "degree seeker" for financial aid purposes. Therefore, I don't know if I should apply next...
