questions

Well, it's that time again- AADSAS opens tomorrow, and the inevitable flood of questions will soon follow. Instead of spamming the board, I thought it would be nice to carry on the tradition of a centralized thread for random questions you may have. I will do my best to answer questions, but I'm...

So I was a 2016 graduate from a 3 year program in which I started in 2012. I ended up taking a 1 year break between the 2nd and 3rd year. After I graduated, I took the NAPLEX about 9 months later. I had some stuff come up with family which didn't allow me to take it right after graduation...

I'm going to be speaking with inerviewees both before and after their interviews (Canadian cycle is much later), and I'm curious as to what you guys think they'd most like to know. A year ago I was a bundle of nerves and didn't want to do anything but focus on the interview, but I'm sure others...

There's a huge thread in the other forums, but I'd love to hear anyone experiences on this. What to say, what not to say. Moment you knew you nailed it. Moment you knew you blew it. Or maybe you thought you blew it then later found out you got accepted. "What was asked by Anonymous...

Hey everyone! I was fortunate enough to get a couple of post-December interviews and I want to start getting a feel for the types of questions I should be expecting. We all know the typical "Why dentistry?" and "Why this school?" questions but I want to find some others. Also, yes I am aware...

Hi All, I wanted to ask what everyone thinks the best use of a gap year time would be. I recently just graduated ASU with a major in Biological Sciences (Genetics, Cell & Developmental) with a 3.58 cumulative. I think my sGPA is somewhere around 3.6 but I am not 100% sure. Currently I am...

Hey everyone! So I started at NYU a few weeks ago. I love the facilities, have met great people, and the faculty is top-notch. In short, I really like it here. However, there is something that is of growing concern to me, and that is dental anatomy lab. I'm not exactly behind, but even though I...

"Why do you want to be a dentist?" Me, I went in for the prestige and for myself mainly. And yes, I went after it for the money as well. Being completely honest, talking about community service and all of that never really fit well with me. I never volunteered for anything in high school and...

I am wondering how similar these question types are to the real deal, I've attached a picture of one that I just did, but it takes a good min to see the pattern. I am starting to get the hang of things...

Hi! I am submitting my VMCAS in the next few weeks, and trying to look ahead at the school I am applying to. I was wondering if anyone could help explain how loans covering your cost of living come to the student. I am used to an end or middle of the semester check, but that seems incorrect for...

Hey everybody! I know everyone generally makes some form of practice questions when they MCAT study or just study in general, so I'm creating a crowdsourced database of all the questions. I already have a website setup (http://flasheducational.com) and I would love it if you all contributed so...
