Hey everyone, I'm applying to dental school this year, and I'm in a bit of a unique situation with my LORs. I graduated with my Bachelor's degree in Predental/Dental Hygiene, and I've been working as a dental hygienist for 2 years. I asked two of my professors from my Dental Hygiene program for...

Hi Has anyone applied to the premedical program at Harvard Extension School or completed the program that I can talk to about? Thank you!

Hi everyone! I know there aren't rankings for dental schools. But putting tuition aside, which dental schools do you think produce the best general dentists that are ready to work right out of school and work confidently? I know most schools have a good clinical program but which schools have...

So my DAT is in less than 4 weeks and I just took my first full length test on DATBooster. I was using DATBootcamp towards the beginning of my studies, but it expired and I decided to try out DATBooster. I'm honestly feeling defeated after my FL, as my scores really haven't improved in the last...

So I'm planning to retake my DAT around late june-early july and I am currently interning at a dental office (unpaid) 3x a week for about 4 hour shifts. I also wanted to get job training as a phlebotomist because I feel like I know more about the exam then the first time I took it and I want to...

Hello! I was recently accepted into the MDPP program at UConn and I was wondering if anybody had any insight as to how the program is? I am taking the DAT in August and I'm super excited to be apart of the program! Also, if you were accepted too don't be afraid to reach out!

Hey y'all, so my professor actually completed most of the LOR and we discussed what else she might add. She mentioned that I can text her anytime about what to include since I had graduated in December. So far, I took the DAT (will have to retake), interning/shadowing pediatric dental office...

I am wondering should I retake DAT for the 2021-2022 cycle? Profile: A Low DAT 18AA with a high overall GPA(3.9) and sGPA (4.0), decent background, and extracurricular volunteer and shadowing experience.

Hello everyone, I’ve created a post for SPEP Collegiate since I noticed there wasn’t one.

Hello, I am currently a junior majoring in Biology with a minor in Chemistry and I am interested in going to dental school. My GPA is very low compared to others; my cGPA is 3.28 and my sGPA is 3.27. I don't have much volunteer hours in the dental field but I have been shadowing a dentist. My...

Hi everyone, first post here! I just had a question about volunteer hours for dental school. I volunteered for most of my high school years (mostly during sophomore and junior year) at a local animal shelter, have accumulated more than 360~ hours as it was one of my genuine passions outside of...

Dec 15th was the first..... Roughly when should we hear back this time?

Hi guys, I applied this cycle to 18 schools and only heard back from 3. Is anyone else having the same problem? By this point last cycle I had heard back from most places :nailbiting:

Both are really great schools. I do not have a preference with location. (originally from New Jersey) *hope to specialize in the future Marquette (OOS) *cheaper by~ 250k *attended undergrad here If anyone could provide any feedback or personal experiences about either schools, that would be...

I’ve been in the military for 12 years and am currently serving in the national guard. I’ve recently been accepted to dental school and will start June 2021. I still have 4 more years left on my national guard contract and am starting to worry about how I’m going to manage going to drill...

The schools I’m looking at have their cost of attendance being ~$250k for the 4 years of attendance. How close is this to reality? Would you say this is a good approximation of what I’ll graduate with I’m loan debt? cost of attendance= tuition + fees+ housing + living expenses, etc.

I’ve had interviews at Univ of Kentucky, Maryland, Tennessee, Dental College of Georgia, & Roseman. Although no acceptances have been announced yet; I like to plan ahead. I’m from Georgia and will end up practicing I’m Georgia once I graduate. To pay for dental school, I will be using my GI bill...

Good evening, I’m having a hard time finding a list of all the dental schools (in the US) that have a pass/fail grading system. Can someone let me know which schools do this and how it exactly works? Does the pass/ fail portion only apply to lab and clinical classes or does it apply to didactic...

Hello all! I need some advice, pretty PLEASE. I am a current pre-dental student graduating from undergrad in December. I have been accepted into Rowan's MBS program and I am awaiting to hear back from Rutgers MBS dental scholars program. I am wondering if anyone has attended either of these...

Hi! This may seem like an easy question and has been answered multiple times, but for the life of me I can’t find an answer. As I look at dental schools that I want to apply to and those with shadowing requirements, schools like NYU and BU, have a 100 hour shadowing requirement. Most of my...

Thank you!

Hi guys! Although I’m a US citizen my family resides in Italy so I tend to spend my summers there when I’m not attending university in the States. My question is, a lot of my shadowing hours were conducted with an Italian dentist rather than a US based one. I plan on shadowing a dentist in the...

How can I ask my professor who I do not know to write a letter for me? She responded saying she doesn't know me personally enough and she's my last option because I already have one science professor. I just need hers and I don't know what else I can say to her to just have me write an average...

My stats are ok and I only have an associates degree but I’m applying to ~10 schools and would like to...

I'm working on the AADSAS application right now and my FAP fee waiver expires in 4 days. This means I must submit the application before that deadline for my fee waiver to be applied. What I have remaining: Letters of Recommendation (only started asking now and 1 professor has said he wont...

Hey everyone! I took some time to throw together all of the pre-dental post-bacc/Masters programs I could find on one organized spreadsheet. It's divided into 3 sections: career changers, academic enhancers, and underrepresented/disadvantaged student-centered. Of course, I might have left a few...

Hey! So a little background information. I applied to dental school for the past two schools and did not get accepted to any programs. My oGPA is 3.19 (not sure about my science, but around that as well). I took the DAT twice and scored 19 both times. So, I have decided that I will pursue a...
