Does anyone have connections?

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
im curious as to the relevance of this thread. even if one does have a connection, what is the benefit to the rest of us reading about it here on SDN?

Just makes me (one with no connections) wonder what else I have to do to make it over the top.
 
My dad taught dentistry at Boston University from around 2001-2007 and I didn't get an interview. How's that for connections 😛
 
My cousin and her husband both went to Pacific and have connection to the Admissions Office.
And both of my parents [and currently me] went to USC but not to the dental school so I'm not sure if that counts.

It counts if you believe the stuff about "Trojan Family" 😛

And your best friend is an undiscovered genius/janitor at M.I.T named Will right?

Early admission to Harvard Dental to whoever gets that reference first.

I sent the check via Western Union last night. I will patiently await my share of the eleventy million dollars from your royal family. My dental school tuition costs have been solved! Thank you!
 
I'm just curious...does anyone here have special connections to admissions committees? What schools and how?

I know in my University Dean's own daughter was rejected last year because she was not competent enough.
