Last year , before the presidential electioons , I was studying for my DAT , and I thought ..wouldn't be good if 1 of these candidates omitted or ejected the DAT , to make it easy for the pre-dental students..I know it sounds silly but it feels good..no DAT for good...just your GPA..the dentist shadowing , and the recomanded letters and your background..but no DAT...what would you think? 😕 😕

Don't you think that some day a long long long time from now, you'll sit back in your cushy dental practice and thank god that it isn't THAT easy for any Joe Schmoe to enter the dental field?

absolutely agree!!!

In addition, if no DAT, then why not NO GPA, or NO letters of recommendation. I mean, why do we have to experience the hassles of getting those LORS, and why study so hard to get high GPA?
