To begin...
I have wanted to be a dentist since I was 10!
I am a minority and come from very humble beginnings. Trying hard to get to this point has felt like reinventing the wheel multiple times. But no more, I would love some advice!
So my GPA suffered through 3 particular semesters that had to do with family/sickness.
I graduated w/BS in 2016, have since had 2 children while working on a computer-related degree online.
But life is too short, I know I need to chase my dream.
So:
I will be taking upper-level prereqs and courses as well.
If you can share ANY:
...Advice,
..."Don't Forget"s,
...Success Stories,
...Tips on managing school as a parent,
...or Interview tips.
(then THANKS so much!!
)
Here's my Tip :
I have recently found that reaching out to schools is GREAT. I was able to attend a Dental-Career exploration-style seminar all online (going over specialties, school-life, and other basic information
).
I have also recently learned that there are Dentists/Students out there who want to help! Hear their stories, and then share yours.
Thank you in advance, future Dr.Mom
