NO IT DOESN"T! This is a complete scam!!! Whoever made this website and sold products to innocent students should be ashamed himself. I paid for it before my DAT, wishing to get a little help but it turned out there's nothing new, nothing like promised, nothing worth the money... I tried to get a refund but guess what, nobody replys to email as they should, and as they advertised that it's a money back garantee event.
 
Here's the only guide you need to get into d-school

1) get good grades
2) get a good dat score
3) write a good essay
4) have strong LORs
5) research, volunteer, shadowing help
6) apply early

The rest is just rubbish
 
I bought this guide this summer. I found it to be a summary of everything I have learned on SDN over the past few years. If you need to learn the admissions game ASAP, buy the book. It doesn't give you any secrets that you will not find on SDN though.

To be honest, much less helpful than SDN. I looked at it for 10 mins and never again.
 
ahhh.. thanks! You guys saved me money! Something that i dont have .. at the moment
 
I like this book a lot actually. Especially for the interviewing. It has some great questions answers for how to answer during the interview, i mean its only 30-40 bucks if u really want to be a dentist and want as much info as u can to help u out it is helpfull.

Same here. The website is slick - but as edkNARF pointed out everything, and I do mean everything, in that 'manual' can be found right here on SDN. Save the dough and just post any questions/dilemmas that you have here to get an answer.

i purchased the predental guide this past summer. in the beginning, i found it quite helpful. i think it's a great guideline for pre-dent beginners. it talks about how to apply/AADSAS, DAT, Admission requirements for d schools, interview and loans/scholarships.

but i no longer go back to read it. it talks up to about interview stuff...i was hoping to get some more tips on steps after acceptance. if i were you, i'd probably get "AEDA Official Guide to Dental Schools" ($35.00). this is more comprehensive than the predental guide.
