i figure you never know, he might just be some high school student starting to research dentistry by reading the message boards, i think that is a perfectly acceptable way to try and gather information, so i would try to help. the one kind of post i am starting to get really sick of, though, are the "what are my chances" threads that we have seen 2-3 per day of lately. especially the "i have a 3.5 and a 23, will i get in" kind.
