I previously applied to medical school and did not get in. However, I had a gut feeling from the beginning that this field may have not been for me because some parts of the field I just did not enjoy. I started shadowing a dentist earlier this year and fell in love with the occupation. I have accumulated over 200 hours of shadowing and really enjoyed it. I want to take the DAT and apply to dental school. However, I have just seen the background information section that asks about past applications to professional health schools. Will my chances be diminished if I mention that I applied to medical schools last year? Please let me know. This is concerning me quite a bit. Thank you!
