Hi Everyone ,
I am new to this forum stuff. But after reading few of the posted threads, I found it very interesting to see how everyone feels applying to dental schools, and found more informative than what advisors told me about the application process.
I am currently a 1st yr pharmacy student at Mass. College of Pharmacy, and planning to change my career focus to Dentistry with the hope of attending a dental school. I got into the PharmD. program with 2 years of coursework. This means I completed all my gen. chem, o-chem, gen. biology, gen. physics, social sciences and humanities. My overall GPA is 3.18, and science 3.16. I have been pondering, if I have a chance at all.
I am taking Kaplan now, and hoping to take the DAT in october. My practise tests showed 15-18 socres in all areas.
Additionally, I shadowed dentistry with faculty members from Harvard Dental Clinic and Case. They both gave me good recommendations.
So... Any ideas if I have a chance? or wether I should not apply and wait another year.
