I am currently taking a gap year and working. I have been accepted for the Fall of 2015. I was wondering if anyone had some suggestions on what I could do that will prepare me for my first year of dental school. Thanks

Watch some teeth waxing and amalgam prep videos on YouTube.

What does your school's curriculum start with? You could read or watch videos on those topics if you really wanted to.

Nothing will truly prepare you though, relaxing should be near the top of your list.

So glad I'm on the right track. 😴

Stalk your future classmates on Facebook, learn every detail of their lives, and knit monogrammed sweaters for all of them---complete with chest pockets for mirrors and scalers.

You can also get involved in dental research, it may not directly help you during your first year of dental school but you can get an early start on your ECs. Some schools have summer dental research programs that pay a stipend so there are multiple benefits.

I'm taking just one class, A&P2 so itll be easier in d school and I don't get too out of practice when classes resume in august. Apart from that, I'm just relaxing and doing the finer things in life I skimped out on while studying my butt off for 4.0s.
