I'm graduating in April and will be working full-time as a dental assistant during my gap year. I want to retake orgo 2 lecture and physics 2 with calc (C and B- respectively). Would it be possible to take science classes online if they're offered at a 4 year institution? What if I took classes...

Hey Everyone, I just saw the updated course list and I noticed a few things are different: Cognitive Psychology along with Brain and Behavior are no longer under the Biology section. They now have their own section labeled as "Behavioral Science". Does this mean that these classes no longer...

Hello everyone, I am currently a second semester sophomore and I feel really overwhelmed about my prospects of dental school. I feel like I am not going to get into dental school with my scores and it is stressing me out. I see many students who have much higher GPAs than I do and I just...

Hi everyone, I finally made a list of schools that I am interesting in applying to! I am a senior and will be taking a gap year. My overall GPA is a 3.64 and my science GPA is a 3.58. I have 50 hrs shadowing and will have about 100 hrs shadowing at the end of winter break (I have shadowed at...

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 graduated with my bachelors in 2015 (biomedical science), applied to dental school and didn't get in so I called it quits for a while (I also applied my junior year but I definitely wasted my money - I had low stats for everything). I began working as a dental assistant after graduation and...

I am curious as to which schools have filled up their class or try to. In terms of handing out acceptances because I know many students haven't decided which school they will attend yet. I think I heard UDM is one of them.

I am a senior taking DE Multivariable Calculus. I made a bunch of stupid mistakes on a test and now there is a chance that I might end the class with a B. However, I there is alot of time to pull myself back to an A. If I get a B how much will it hurt my odds of getting into dental school or if...

My advisor recently mentioned to me that dental schools pay attention mainly to the last 60 units of science coursework when evaluating students, especially GPA enhancing post-bac applicants. Has anyone else heard this?

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...

HONESTLY what implants to the endometrium. because honestly cliff's ap started off saying the corpus luteum.. then it went on to say the trophoblast -___-... then kaplan says the blastulla. ughhhh

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 ?
