First D1 semester

[GoldenCrown]

Well, I just finished my first D1 semester and got all B’s (some B-, B, B+) and one C+.... should I be worried at this point? I’m not used to having all Bs and Cs lol. Anyone else in the same situation. To me, they’re not great grades, but the load was heavy and I did all I could honestly. Any input would be appreciated. Do I suck or what??? Ughhh

Unless you plan to apply to a competitive specialty program you shouldn't worry about getting B's. You passed every class. Dental school is harder than undergrad!

Is there still some chance to specialize IF I wanted to or is it dead? Lol

Depends on the specialty, I suppose. You still have a lot of time to make up lost ground.

What was your study schedule like and how many hours a day/week did you study?

Classes end at around 4 or 5pm, I go home and rest until 6 or 7pm depending on when we get out, then study till 9 or 10, dinner, rest, go to bed or study a little more or not. Some times I would get up early instead of studying in the evening.
