I am on the fence about attending as I don't know what to expect beyond the itinerary on the website (especially for the afternoon segment). I'm a 3 hour flight from New Orleans but I'm fairly sure I'll be able to get travel assistance. Should I take a chance and plan to go? I'll be applying this upcoming cycle.

I don't speak for ADEA but I've attended these fairs in the past. If you have done absolutely no networking or have barely minimal attention from your prehealth advisor/s about your interest in dentistry, I'd go. If you are sure you would get travel assistance, I'd do it. They have really done a great job getting enough money so that the fair attendees are as geographically broad as possible. If you think you would qualify for FAP, do it.

I did not! I wanted to gauge my stats at the time and I won't be done with school until the end of this year.

Did you go to any events hosted by ECU or UNC? These are the two schools most likely to give you a shot. Michigan may be good too though your GPA I think is on the average??? maybe lower?

Again, I think NC State has pretty good prehealth advising, so what feedback have you gotten? You may benefit from any insight they have.

the full itinerary is here:

Agenda

and watch the videos available online to see what the afternoon event entails
should be on youtube and the adea site

though i agree with mr.smiles that you could spend your time/money on attending events at UNC and ECU and utilizing your prehealth/predental advising at nc state...

I have! I've toured UNC and am slated to tour ECU this spring. At UNC I've attended a few more recruitment events + I'm actually on my last day of a 2 week observership with their oral surgery dept. I'm sitting in the resident room as I type this lol. Best shadowing experience ever

NC State USED to have a wonderful prehealth team. Committee letters and everything, but my advisor told me that shuttered ~10 years ago. Currently we have just one person who serves as both the pre-health and pre-law advisor for everyone... I met with her once two years ago when she first got the position and felt that the forums here would be a better help to me.

Great! You should have some insights from the ASDA/SNDA students from those recruitment events. Don't hesitate to ask them questions addressing your concerns about your application.

As long as you subscribe to the ADEA GoDental newsletter/social media follows, and maybe watch some slightly older YouTube videos from past recruitment fairs, you won't miss too much... but if you are able to go to the in-person fair, great! If not, there should be a virtual recruitment fair in June soon after ADEA AADSAS opens. You could even follow specific schools' ASDA social media accounts.

Of course, whatever you do, also ask us!
