predental

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...

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...

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...

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...

There are a few threads I've seen about shadowing in high school, but mostly just about shadowing general dentists and not oral surgeons. I'm really interested in dentistry and I hope to specialize and become an oral surgeon after regular dental school and I really want to shadow the oral...

I always wanted to do something like this because it would have been nice to have back when I was in school. So I'm hoping it helps out all the new and prospective dental students. Let me know what you think!

So im kind of in a dilemma. I have a 3.4 overall and a 3.5 science OFFICIAL on my schools transcript. after AADSAS did its calculation of gpa my overall went to a 3.38.... Now I am debating if i should pat 4000$ just to go take a few extra classes at my school just so I can get a 3.45 so AADSAS...

I'm pretty much having an identity crisis right now it's getting me really down. I'm going to try and make this straight and to the point. I'm going to be an incoming college freshman and for the past 2 years I have convinced myself to pursue dentistry (maybe medicine). I love biology and think...
