I recently finished the program. What questions do you have?
1. I know that 12 hours was recommended during the fall. How difficult is the program and would I be able to work part time?
2. Do you really recommend this program, in your honest opinion?
3. What are some cons about the program?
4. What is some advice you would give someone who's starting the program. Or stuff you wish you knew before starting the program?
5. Does Barry have a Dental Society that preps you in interviews or that would provide a committee letter?
Thank you

1. I know that 12 hours was recommended during the fall. How difficult is the program and would I be able to work part time?
The program is difficult but doable. All the professors are extremely fair. Most of us studied every day for at LEAST 4 hours. You would definitely be able to work part-time. I did, and so did a lot of my classmates.
2. Do you really recommend this program, in your honest opinion?
10/10 would recommend. The program is great, the professors are great, and the administration is great. They really make it their mission to get their students into dental school. There is no competition, my classmates and I looked out for one another with lecture notes and recordings.
3. What are some cons about the program?
The program is far away from the main campus. This means that for things like the writing center, library, gym, financial aid, and the registrar's office you have to make that drive. Parking is also a little annoying
4. What is some advice you would give someone who's starting the program. Or stuff you wish you knew before starting the program?
Start studying from day one, anatomy is a beast, and it will humble you QUICKLY. read the powerpoints every day. Don't be afraid to go to office hours if you need to. GO TO EVERY OPEN LAB. No grade here is given, you can not talk your way into a 90 if you have an 89. Get an ipad or some sort of laptop, all exams are taken using EXAM soft.
5. Does Barry have a Dental Society that preps you in interviews or that would provide a committee letter?
There's no dental society but the administration offers Mock interviews, you just have to make an appointment. There are no committee letters.
Thank you so much for the reply. What classes did you take your first semester, if you remember? They told me Human physiology and Pathophysiology.
You’re welcome! I started in the spring and took anatomy and health law and ethics. Based on the classes you’re taking it sounds like your starting in the summer
Yes I am starting in the summer! I'm really excited.
I had more questions so I sent you a PM.
