Hi, all future dentists,
I am wondering if you have set any personal goals for upcoming year. If yes, mind sharing them? also, mention your plan to achieve these goals.
Thank you.


🙂

1) Take the DAT
2) Get into dental school
3) Lose 25 pounds
4) Party like its 1999

I am an undergrad, but my goal for this year is to get a gpa > my cumulative gpa both semesters this year. Also other goals include: joining 1 or 2 clubs.

Keep a 3.0-3.5 average for my DS1 year. Those grades will indicate a pretty solid mastery of the material. Since I have no interest whatsoever in specializing, only in becoming the best broad-spectrum general dentist I can become, my conscience is the only authority I have to worry about answering to 😀

Like Bill, I also want to stay sane (it's all relative). Rather than focus on GPA I'm going to try to keep my class rank in the top 25%. I'm not committed to specializing, but I don't want to close any doors before I'm in the position to open any.

Sorry, I realize I forgot to put in my goals.

1. Get accepted to a dental school that I want to go.

2. Quite possibly look for more info about specialty and potential PhD programs.

3. Continue to train my back muscle and endurance(thus, not going to lose weight 🙁

4. At last, earn enough money to go on trips around the world.


Thanks for sharing your goals.

guys please explin the difference in a dds,dmd and phd please. i am a little confuesd on this. if you want to teach dentistry do you get a dds and then a phd?

 

[ItsGavinC]

There is NO difference between the DDS and DMD degree.

You do not have to have a Ph. D to teach at dental school.

There is far more to this answer, but that is all I have time for.
