How old are/were you applied to dental school and got in?
I think a majority of people have to be over 23

 

[Dipdoc]

Average age is 24. I'm currently 22 and will be 23 when i matriculate.

20, but I would think the majority would be like 22/23 since that would be like getting accepted after 4-5 years of undergrad.

I refuse to answer...

Same

Average age is 24. I'm currently 22 and will be 23 when i matriculate.

[StumpMT]

Why the sad face? You still have 30 years to practice.

 

[jmcunnin]

Age is just a number lol. I'll be 29 when I apply.

 

[bjpenn]

=( bc the owners of the office I work for are my age. Most of the people my age are like 5-6 years out. I always feel like I'm playing catch up, but that's what happens when you get caught comparing yourselves to others.

Matriculating at 25

 

[dent313]

currently 20, will be 21 at matriculation

 

[Ollivander]

I'm currently 23. I'm applying this summer. If I get in the first time I apply, I'll be 24 at matriculation. If I don't and have to do a masters, then I'll be 25 or 26 at matriculation depending on whether or not I wait until I complete my SMP to apply again.

Currently 25. Will be 26 when school starts.

[gatsby121]

applied right before my 28th bday, will matriculate a few weeks after i turn 29. sounds cliche but i truly wouldn't trade my experiences to be 23 and matriculating.

Folks in University of Pacific's 2+3 program will most likely be 19 or 20 when they start dental school and 22 or 23 when they enter the job market.

 

[Bifenthrin]

I matriculated a few months before I turned 24. I'll be 27 when I graduate, 28 when I finish residency...

what happens when you're 21 and you look like you're in your early 30s? But hey I'm young at heart! I'll just leave it there....

[snipza]

I am going to be 24 this month.

If I get into the post-bacc, I will finish that a couple months after I turn 26 and apply during the summer of the same year. Then, if I get into D-School on the first try, I will matriculate at 27, finish at 31, and hopefully get a job straight after.

I kinda wish I had taken a gap year just to have a few more life experiences under my belt.

 

[Otelar]

Ill be 30 when dental school starts this year. Wasn't my plan but I don't regret my route.

Hey you're back!

 

[Bereno]

I was 25 when I started dental school. I would say that this forum tends to err on the side of the older applicant, but thats just my theory haha. 🙂
