So I was wondering how much school everyone else was missing to do interviews. I'm only taking 2 classes so it's not horrible if I miss but I'm already up to 2 1/2 weeks and still waiting to hear from 3 schools...😱

Taking 2 classes as well, so far missed only one day of school, most likely will miss class the first week of November. So in total, planning on only missing 4 days this semester.

The total's up to 10 days of class so far, though I haven't had to reschedule a single test yet

I'm missing a week's worth of class so far. Oh man, I just love skipping class. Exciting! 😉

So far I have missed 11 days of school. I am taking 19 hours this semester.

Oh and I have spent $2500 on interviews!

It's an investment, to be sure. But it's a smart one. 🙂

Wow... at least you rack up mad amounts of frequent flyer points

I have to miss 18 days of class abroad (japan).. i still haven't bought tickets from tokyo yet, but that's sure gonna cost me.

only missing 5 days so far for 4 interviews, I've been scheduling as many mondays as possible and the farthest school is only 7 hours of driving for me.

Have your profs all been accomodating? There is a chem prof at my school who doesn't count interviews as excused absences...as in you better not have tests those days. Makes me glad I passed on p-chem.

At least you can cut class when you want.. taking off work for these interviews (when your employer doesn't know you're trying to be a dentist) is harder. I guess I'm just glad I'm not a really good applicant who applied to 20 schools like some of you guys.

I will be missing so many classes, I cant evem count anymore. I like ditching classes, but I hate make up the homework/exam👎

 

[dddsmack]

Cool, you withdrew from AZ also.

I agree!!!! I'm working two part-time jobs so it is an even bigger deal to take a day off because it works out to be 1/2 my work week at one of my jobs if I miss a day. I've been doing a LOT of schedule changing recently. Although I know I shouldn't be complaining because they're INTERVIEWS!!!! 😀

Totally hear ya there! Working full time and taking two courses hasn't been working very well when scheduling my interviews. Damn, I'm soooo tired. If I get accepted for the first wave come Dec. 1st, I'm quitting everything!!!!!!! Then I'm going to bed until I wake up for the first day of classes in August.

That sucks. I hate it when profs forget the point of school is to get you into the next stage. That happened to me in high school. 1 teacher wouldn't excuse my absence from going to visit colleges, so I ended up with a D 😱

Yeah I was a little worried about missing classes and searched out this thread. I just checked out your scores on predents! That story reminds of a high school classmate of mine -- smartest guy I knew. He was actually younger than the rest of us. Aced the SAT's, scholarship to Yale. Aced all of his tests in school, but never did homework. Really nice kid, too; not cocky or anything. But his high school history teacher gave him a final grade of D because she had a rule about turning in homework. He didn't think she'd do it, since he had 100% on all of the tests. But she did it. Anyway, years later I ran into him when he had graduated from Yale. I asked him what his major was and he said HISTORY. Things have funny ways of sorting themselves out in time. It looks like you're going to be just fine, too. attama ga iidesu kara.
