Consistency of Shadowing

Hey Guys,

So I am planning to take my DAT this summer and won't have much time to spend shadowing. I am a sophomore so I still have another year until I will apply, but only have about 15 shadowing hours right now. I am obviously going to get that to 100+ by the time I submit my application. However, will schools notice/care that most of my shadowing hours came from late this summer through next year ? Or will they just look at number of hours and whether it is general or specialized ?

Thanks for any input.

That would be very silly of schools to look closely at the timeline. I believe they care about the GPA and DAT the most so... 😉. Also try to shadow at a general dentist.

As long as you get the 100 hours you will be fine.
