every time you say this on people's posts it never helps
Thank you for saying that. I actually am going to do that right now lol
I received a denial as well from my top choice last week, which happens to be my home institution. Just try to be positive. At the end of the day, the best dental school is the one that accepts you. As the above comment states, why going to a place where my potentials are not recognized?
I got rejected over 3 cycles a total of 23 times and it stings every time. You can’t let it define you or how you feel about yourself. There are so many people trying to attain this limited number of spaces. It just takes the one place and the one right time and you’ll get it. You just have to keep on going each day until you see yourself where you want to be. 3 years later, 23 rejections, a post-bacc, and MS degree later here I am in dental school. Just keep pushing on.
F it we ball
Sorry to hear that. How many schools did you apply to?
28... 😭 all of my savings... so I see that this may not be a huge deal.. but it was my top choice so just was upsetting at first, but thanks to everyone on here it’s helped
I have decided to take my talents to South Beach and join the Miami Heat...then they won championships...sometimes you just gotta go where you gotta go
However, I've found it to be SO important to keep believing in yourself! You should be very proud that you have completed the DAT, have taken pre-recs, and even helped people with any volunteering/work you've done! I know rejection is hard and that this reply is cliché, but this is just a step in the process Just keep in mind that you will eventually get in, everybody ultimately does if you keep working at it. Also don't stress too much about it, because you will have more stresses in dental school and after. What I'm saying is keep your head up this is part of the process.
