Where's the love? that's all I'm saying.
All right, it's one thing to deposit at every school you get in to like a tool, but your two top choices, or if you are holding out for a different school to accept you is a whole other story.
hahaha just 'brush ya shoulders off'
People are going to disagree about it. It's usually the people that don't get in that b**ch about it. We all understand how they feel, however, its just the nature of the beast. All the 'top' candidates get their pick and if they want to pay more than one deposit, then by all means. It isn't as though they're cheating or somehow playing dirty. They're just playing the game.
I got into 2 schools and I still think it's a douche bag move. And it's not a "game", it's people's lives. However, this topic has been beaten to death on here so I'm just gonna leave it at that.
Many are depositing at their number 2,3, or 4s because they haven't heard from number 1.
- This is intelligent
Others are depositing at multiple schools.
- I personally think it is a dumb move, but they earned the acceptance and if they want to make a "donation" to the school that they will eventually have to cut (May 1st at the latest, the curtain goes up and the great Oz is revealed), that is their choice. I personally wouldn't do this because for the very fact that it would cause someone waiting prolonged agony.

Multi depositers is exactly that MULTI-depositers!!
Dont start a stupid thread talking about discrimination against multi depositers and than say you only made one deposit until/if you here from your number one school. Thats 2 different things. And cowboy17 u really do seem like an overall tool from all the stuff i have seen you post so i would expect another response as i read above.
Why start a thread dentaltrain? U want an argument>?
I'm sorry but I wholeheartedly disagree that it adversely affects people's lives. If your life is revolving around getting into dental school, then you're in for a world of hurt and you need to get a grip. Life is full of disappointments and there isn't a person that doesn't have setbacks or failures. However, many things in life are based around a set of rules that we all have to abide. Such as, finishing all dental school requirements, scoring well on the dat, submitting application and interviewing well. These are all hoops we must jump through. Thus, its called 'playing the game'.

Really now? As far as I know, ALL of us on these forums want to make dentistry a LIFElong career, so having our lives (at the moment) revolve around getting into dental school is not something we need to "get a grip" on...it just so happens that it DOES have a big hold on our future lives.

If for some reason you think that there wont be more 'hoops' or guidlines in dental school or the rest of life, you are sadly mistaken and you need to reexamine what in the world you're getting yourself into. Life is just a big game. Have fun, enjoy it. You only get one shot.
Note: I did withdraw from all but one school so lets not make this
personal.
