Hi, I'm graduating with a biology degree next semester and have applied to some dental schools this cycle. I am trying to figure out a "back up" plan if I am not accepted. I know many people from my university in Canada take an extra year and complete their honours degree, which seems like a...

This is my first post on SDN. I am a senior living in Northern Virginia and I applied to Gannon university's BA/DDS program with LECOM. I am positive I want to be a dentist. I applied on a whim because there were no application fees. My question is that even if I got into the program, should I...

Does anyone know how many students are generally accepted here on Dec 1? I know the class is a size of 64, but do they accept more than that? Also, how many usually interview here? Thank you in advance!

I graduated with a 2.6 biology major 3 years ago and have been out of school since. After working, now I’m really trying to get into Dental school and not sure what steps I need to do. I’ve applied to some local graduate programs but have been denied. What should I do? What can I do to put me...

Did anyone apply for Rutgers Gateway to Dentistry for the Winter of 2018?

I honestly do not know what to do. I am not this geeky anti social girl. I have been hit on before and I know how to act and remain professional. This is just my TOP school and choice since i was like 16 years old, and now, not only do i feel like my acceptance (if i get one) will be phony, but...

I will be attending Barry Univ. Biomedical Science Masters Program starting in January for the dental track. I'm currently looking to share a 2 bedroom, 2 bath apartment/condo in the hollywood/aventura/davie area. Prefer male roommate. Looking to sign a one-year lease. Have done my research on...

So i am graduating this spring with a BS in Psy. I have finished all the pre-reqs and taken upper science courses such as Anatomy and Physiology 1 & 2, Microbiology and Biochem. Should i bother taking Immunology my last semester? The courses i will be taking is my last psy class, a drawing...

Hey Everyone, So is there anything I should be doing to prepare for the upcoming cycle (Besides getting PS ready, LORs, etc.)? Are there any forms I have to fill out before I can start my application in June? Thanks.

Good Evening Everyone! I need some advice as I am trying to plan out my timeline. Any advice would be appreciated! *GPA calculation How are the GPAs calculated? I kind of have a complicated situation with my GPA because I have GPAs from three different institutions. I wasn't originally...

Hey everyone! Can't believe I'm finally making one of these posts. Here is my score breakdown... PAT: 20 QR: 16 :( RC: 23 Bio: 20 OC: 22 GC: 22 TS: 21 AA: 21 Overall, Im happy with my scores except for QR. I really don't want to have to retake unless I really have to... For me, getting a 16 on...

Hello, I am a senior in high school. GPA is 3.73/4.00 SAT I is 1420 Math 710 Eng 710 Total: 1420 I got lower than 600 on both Math II and Chem so I will not be submitting those. Could I still get in... I am interested in UOP's accelerated predental program.

I got for Math 2 590 and Chemistry 570 on the subject tests. Some schools strongly recommend these scores for their predental accelerated program like UOP (University of Pacific), but obviously my scores are pretty low. Should I submit them still?

First off hello everyone, And I hope everything is going great with you guys since you must be terribley preoccupied with dental school activities.I appreciate your time in advance. I was hoping you could give me an insight about WesternU's didactic curriculum and the grading policies e.g. How...

So who's giving the DAT this november? Please share and tips and tricks which work for you! especially for the PAT section! Getting screwed in the form development and angle ranking part! Also, did anyone notice that angles look a bit off in Crack DAT PAT?

I am currently taking Organic chemistry Lec/Lab, Cell Bio Lec/Lab, Anatomy&Physiology Lec/Lab at the same time. Of course I might do a little bit better in each one if I stayed in school longer to spread these out over more semesters, but as long as I do well in all of them will this help show...

So by the time I graduate (Spring 2018)..... Major: Psychology oGPA: 3.5 sGPA: 3.3ish (Brought this up substantially) DAT: Will be taking in January. Can't really say what I will score, but I am hoping for at least a 20. Shadowing: I have a good amount of shadowing hours (Around 100)...

Hi guys I already applied for this cycle with AA 19. Do you guys think it will make any difference for this cycle if I retake DAT (by the end of December) and let the schools now that I am retaking it? or it will make no difference even if I get a higher score since I already applied?

Hello, I was a biology major but I switched my major to sociology. I switched because honestly, I'm realizing a major that is just biology courses is not for me. I'm just not happy. Although I am doing well in my science classes I'm not enjoying it and the only reason I'm doing well is that I...

hey guys. So I took my DAT last year and scored low. Like an 18AA 18TS 16QR 19CHEM/OCHEM. Applying this year was kind of a gamble for me. So as soon as i submitted my AADSAS in june, i immediately starting studying for my DAT retake. I did this so if i wasnt to get in, I would be ready for next...

So december 1st is not close seeing as this is just the beginning of october, but these past couple of weeks I've been having so much anxiety and panic attacks because of it. Having had a couple of interviews by now, it's killing me not knowing whether I'll be accepted to my top choices or where...

hello everyone. What would you recommend for someone who is very weak in chemistry. I know Chads is great, but im speaking even more elementary. For example how to break up NaCl-->Na+ + Cl- , and balancing Reactions, and maybe even the nomenclature like how to name nitrATE vs nitrITE and...

I am Canadian student here in Toronto with a a pretty low undergrad GPA - 2.9. I am currently in my 4th year, and i will be doing a 5th year, to try to raise my GPA. This gives me 2 years of opportunity to raise my GPA - the question is choosing which way to do so. My extra curriculars are...

is there seriously no material on the market that prepares you for math? i am having the biggest struggle trying to TEACH myself math. Yes i understand MATH destroyer and BOOTcamp are good reps of the test, but before attempting those problems i need to learn how to solve problems and learn the...

Hello everyone, I am pre-dental student. As Canadian school asks to take this test, I need to prepare for the exam. And, I just have a few questions about it! 1) I saw the sample answers to some sample Casper questions are sooo long. But I only managed to write maximum 2-3 sentences per...

Hey all pre-dentals, do you know whether or not ADEA AADSAS sends updates on shadowing and volunteer experience to dental schools even after your application has been submitted? For example, I submitted my application in early July, and am just waiting on interviews. However, if I want to go...

what do they mean when dental schools say they will be conducting a hollistic interview style ?

Hello all, I am in a bit of a stressed situation and I would like everyone's opinion. I just finished my Bachelors Degree (Health Sciences with a concentration in Biology) with a 3.5 cGPA and a 3.6 sGPA. I am most worried about the fact that it took me 6 years to get my Bachelors. I'm not going...

Ok guys, so I'm not exactly new to sdn but this is my first post. Firstly I'd like to thank everyone on sdn for all the wonderful post that got me through my DAT (took it on 8/28). Special S/O to Ari from bootcamp (swear he's the man) and Orgoman, their materials are both awesome for anyone...

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...

I Just took my DAT and I did pretty bad in the QR section although I did well in the other sections. I wanted to know if I had a shot in this cycle considering it's August. I have a great committee letter, research experience, an honors thesis, was president of an honor society in UG, and have...

Hello all, I'll be enrolling in a masters program before applying to dental school. I'm currently studying for the DAT right now, which I'll be taking next year if I am ready (not taking it unless I'm scoring a 25+ on DAT bootcamp). Assuming I do end up with a high DAT score, do I have a shot...

Does anyone else think supplementals/secondary apps should only be sent to the students that admissions really feel make good candidates rather than just anyone that has the minimum gpa? Like we spend days answering these supplemental questions and then it's almost as if they don't even read...

Hi everyone! I am currently working at a dental office in Encino, CA (perfect location for someone in LA and the surrounding areas). I have been accepted to dental school and will be starting in a few weeks - therefore I am looking to replace my position as a dental assistant at my current...
