Hey everyone! So I've been a spectator for the past two years on SDN, never making an account and just reading up on all of this. Just wanted to introduce myself.. Im a Junior now at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. I'm pre-dent and majoring in business-management. I've been fascinated with business every since I've been little, partly because I've been born and raised in that environment, yet my passion has always been dentistry. The two being similar, made me come to a conclusion that this is what I want to do. I'm a mediocre student with a 3.3ish gpa. I have experience with shadowing 4 dentists and many hours volunteering in dental clinics and a foundation for mentally handicapped children called Exceptional Foundation. I plan on taking the DAT's in August after taking a Kaplan course during the summer. Few questions to you guys!
Have any of you takin a Kaplan course taught at a Kaplan center and was it worth it in your opinion?
Will my business major look down upon because I won't be able to compete with others who have a science background in dental school?
Because of my low gpa I definitely need to have a DAT score high enough to balance the two out. In my opinion I am weak in science's and feel I need to start preparing now. I saw a forum about a 6 week program that had it cut down into what to study during those days, and am going to try that out for during my Christmas break. Have any of you had success with that?
I've been born and raised in Mississippi and plan on going to MS dental school, but im definitely going to be applying to others including UAB's. I love the advice you guys give on this site, its about time I've made an account and started asking questions of my own
