I myself will be going on vacation to my home country and visit people I haven't seen since 2003!

I'd probably go eat someplace nice with some family and friends. A vacation does sound nice, but if anything, it would probably be saved for the summer before d-school :)

Where you from? I'm from Iraq but I don't think it would be a good idea to go there at this time lol.

But the day I am accepted to dental school will be the best day of my life. Even when I saw my DAT score I was overcome with joy because I knew that I was going to become a dentist at that moment, and there is even a good chance I'll be accepted on my first time applying. I do not know how I will be celebrating; perhaps with some Hennessy or Remy Martin.

I am originally Syrian but lived in Jordan a while back. I am planning to go to Jordan since Syria is out of the question so I feel your pain, lol. Plane tickets in Dec are half the price in the summer so I figured I would go in Dec!

I see; Damascus is a remarkable region and among the most historically rich city's on Earth. My uncle lived in Syria before moving to Canada a few years ago; I wish you the best, and will pray for the day peace returns to the Fertile Crescent.

I'm going to climb Denali and spend as much time as possible hiking in general. A Dec 1 acceptance would make this a lot more exciting but I'm going to do it even if I don't get in lol.

I plan on calling my dad who is perhaps the single greatest influence in my dental school career since he is a dentist. Then I plan on watching the Heels take town the Terps in the ACC-Big 10 crossover game. Afterwards, I'll be celebrating the victory and acceptance with friends and might try out some 1738

where are you leaving from and what cities do you have in mind?

Not sure and not sure :). I don't apply until next cycle and don't graduate until 2017. Several of my friends and I are talking about doing this. We want to hit the major sites, Rome, London, etc. but will probably spend some time in some of the smaller countries as well. I'd like to get back to Amsterdam too. We are planning on taking a month and just going. My one friend has several relatives various places and they have already invited us to stay with them. Two of the people probably going are pre-med so we got to talking that this would be a great way to spend our last free summer until we retire LOL.

Are you going to rub it on your teeth and go to bed? And then eat the leftovers at room temperature in the morning?

No, I am going to rub it all over my skin and stand in a contemporary art museum doing poses from medieval era artwork.

I'd come to New York to see that.

Anyyyywhoooo I will try to keep as secretive as possible and only tell my friends and probably celebrate along the lines of 8 pints of craft beer and sushi. Then I will swear all to secrecy and tell my parents at Christmas by giving them shirts from the school or clothes from the school if the dental school doesn't have custom shirts.

FYI my mom is very knowledgeable about the process and I can't keep a secret/lie to save my life so things will get interesting.
