never worked in industry, but yes, engineer here

i've meet several engineers that have left industry throughout the whole interview process...nice to see that people follow their dreams

 

[DailyDrivenTJ]

Good to meet you. Are you admitted? or applying? I am applying this time around for 08.

Which school are you guys applying and why?

 

[Ex_EE]

Count me in. I worked 5 years before changing.

 

[Nasem]

<---- Computer science
Would you count me as an "engineer"? if yes then I been working in the field of I.T since I was 23 (Im 25 now and turning 26 in august)

 

[DailyDrivenTJ]

So where are you guys with the dental school? Applying? Admitted?

What was the most difficult process for you?

I had hard time transitioning to tons of raw memorization.

 

[Nasem]

I am still in the pre-dental requirements process....
I am doing major life-altering change, this coming august (last week of august), I am quitting my fulltime I.T job and going full time to MSU to complete my pre-dents

Going to apply next year for 2009 cycle

i'm admitted, but not really sure where i'm going yet. but ya, schools like us engineers, it comes up a lot during interviews i've noticed.

i think with decent dat scores, engineers have a shot at almost any dental school. true, our gpa's suffer a little bit, but i reall think that schools take that into account when reviewing our app. good luck dailydriven, hope it all works out for the best. if you ever have any questions about this tedious process, let me know.

 

[soswank]

Total of 5 years of Computer Science, before I switched to Dentistry.

 

[Gold Teef]

I probably don't count, but I'm currently a Freshman engineer switching over to pre-dent. So, I've explored that path a bit more than I wish I had.

 

[eecookie]

Been working as electrical engineer for 7 years,
and it took 3 years part time to finish taking pre-req.
(Too much travelling.)
Even though I have applied end of Nov, I got admitted to Tufts.
Experience really paid out.
I haven't told company yet, but plan to work until a week before class starts to save as much money as possible.

 

[DailyDrivenTJ]

Sorry for the late intro., I am a computer engineer with 2 years experience. I am currently taking Bio I and Org II.

Just took the DAT last week and did 19/20/23 (AA/TS/PAT), I feel that I need to retake it.

I would not retake the DAT. Those are really good scores. Just apply early ~ you'll get in. If you have good grades and have experiences to share, you should be fine.
Best of luck!

 

[DailyDrivenTJ]

Now which schools should I apply? Which school likes enginerds?
