I think there should be a seperate forum called "do I have a chance", where kids can list their gpa, dats, and ecs.

Plus as an added bonus, it should include a feature that allows us to throw E-tomatos at posters who say "I have a 3.9, 26 dat, and 2000 hrs of shadowing. I'm so worried about my one b+ in music appreciation. Do I still have a chance?"

Are you trying to get into health care field?
This post shows that dentistry is ur option solely for money and no other reason.
If one has problem in giving advice to people (for any situation), i dont know how will you return it to the community with this attitude?
Not only this post shows ur non-helping nature but also an impatient quality.
sorry to say but both (helping and patience) qualities are highly required in health care field.
i think you need to rethink about ur future in healthcare field!!!!👎

I don't really see how that is showing that they are doing it for money personally. And I don't think that person is saying that we shouldn't have those posts, there just needs to be another location for them because there are so many. And I agree, there are a lot everyday... and if there was a separate location for them, maybe the people posting them, would take the time to read the old ones, and learn from them or something. Some people just need advice/re-assurance from people. So the 4.0 people that get a B+ need re-assurance, and the 2.8 people that seek for advice, need re-assurance. There is nothing wrong w/ that!

ibeflossin i would agree with u little bit if it is with just location thing...
but i personally found the tomatoes stuff to be in a different tone.....
basic thing is "its easy to laugh on others unless u r in their shoes"

Whoa, how on earth did you jump to that conclusion? I think there are a vast number of "do I have a chance?" threads that are reasonable and warrented. I truly think due to the large volume of these questions that there should be a seperate forum- such as the dat forum - where one can post such questions and be evaulated.

Plus, you have to admit that those perfect resume doubters are a bit annoying. And unquestionably lack common sense or need a constant reminder of how perfect they are.

+1, well said

I almost forgot, rule 0:

0. Above all else, this is an anonymous internet forum. Anonymity brings out the worst in people, even pre-dents, so don't expect anyone to be anything but a bastard coated bastard with a creamy bastard center. DO NOT MAKE "Why can't we all just get along?!?" posts, or you will be flamed off of the board.

0a. In the future, when someone points out that all we do is pointlessly argue, bicker and make fun of each other, simply reply "Rule 0 n00b" and leave it at that.

Rule 0 noob

If you are saying it just for the location sake...then its perfectly fine and in that case i would take my words back....
BUT....

if u feel that someone which has nothing to do with anyone else and is just asking a question...which could be dumb or watevr....is annoying to you then what would you say about the patients later on? and thats what situation i was referring to....

Man up. The tomatoes thing is saying that people who probably know that they're fine but just want people to tell them that "they're totally going to get in" and how great their stats are. Those people make me sick, I'd like to throw tomatoes at them, as would anyone else who actaully has a reason to worry about getting accepted.
Ibeflossin, I thought it was funny and I agree implicitly. I am getting tired of the "what are my chances" thread.

I'm pretty sure the pre-dental forums and actual patients are totally different things. Are you just flaming 'cause you're bored or something? If so, here's an activity, learn how to spell "you" and "are" and "whatever"

I'd throw one of those tomatoes now, in fact.

I'm pretending this is big angry tomato I'm throwing at a certain someone 😡

Hey amsterdam...
I TOTALLY agree with your first post. However, I am guilty of doing the very same thing when I was new to SDN. I had no idea...and I'm thinking people who come to this site for the first time all post that same stuff...I know I did.
On a side note....
I got my acceptance from LSU in the mail today. Did you?
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ME!

Wow, are you a psych major? I don't see how this thread demonstrates that the OP is doing dentistry solely for money. You shouldn't be so critical or rush to your own misguided conclusions about someone you don't even know based on a couple of sentences. Chill out and enjoy the holidays

well the million what are my chances posts are annoying...that's why people are quick to turn to sarcasm and make fun at the questions posed....i particularly found the op's comment funny...when you've been on sdn for a while, the more sarcastic you get

wow... seriously, you're just being ******ed.

 

[ibeflossin]

Haha. It's like the "jump to conclusions mat" get it... jump to conclusions. I don't think you can jump to conclusions saying that the person doesn't know anything about healthcare. In fact, I'd be a little more worried about someone working on my teeth who freaks out about a B+ and has an anxiety attack or something. Not calling anyone out, b/c I tend to be one of those people... hahaha. Just thought I'd lighten up the mood. I'm not that funny though. I guess I will leave my jokes to OFFICE SPACE. MERRY CHRISTMAS 😀
