Hello and welcome to the What Are My Chances (WAMC) forum!
The purpose of this forum is to:
The purpose of this forum is to:
- Post threads about your chances of acceptance to Dental Schools.
- Have your school list critiqued and modified by other members of SDN.
- Determine how to strengthen your current application.
- Ask for advice regarding the next few years, and/or about post-baccs/masters programs.
- Please DO NOT call out specific users in the title of your thread.
- Please include the word "Canadian", or "International" in your thread title if you are a resident of Canada or another non-US country in order to attract users with experience advising applicants in your situation.
- Please refrain from creating multiple threads. If certain information has changed or if there is something you would like to add to your thread (like DAT scores!), simply edit it in and bump your thread.
- If you wish to remove your original post after getting feedback, please include "PLEASE DO NOT QUOTE THIS MESSAGE" at the top of the body of your thread. Please also note that members are not obligated to abide by this request, but it is polite to do so
- Moderators are not obligated to remove another member's post that quotes yours upon request
- If you wish to delete your own thread, please note that members with Gold Donor status have the ability to delete their own threads
- Please be aware that even if your thread is deleted on SDN, a cached version of your post very likely exists elsewhere on the internet
- Above all, please be careful with the amount of personal information you post in your WAMC threads - if you do not want that information on the internet, it is better to not post it in the first place
- If the need for anonymity is extreme, you may send a PM to me (artist2022) and I will post it for you anonymously. Please be aware that this may take several days to be completed from the time of request. You will also have no way to delete your thread once it is posted. Moderators will not be responsible for relaying further questions in these threads once they have been posted.
- The WAMC forum is designed to facilitate a collaborative environment in which members share constructive criticism and offer sincere yet tactful feedback to other members. It is not intended for discussions regarding any inflammatory topics.
- Please be aware that condescension or personal attacks will not be tolerated. Users who choose to behave in this way will be disciplined accordingly. Be sure to always follow Rule #2 from the SDN Terms of Service: "Be courteous and contribute positively. If you’re not contributing to the forums in a positive manner, you may receive a warning or have your account temporarily or permanently closed."
- If you see a post that breaks any rules, please use the "Report" button at the bottom of the post to alert forum moderators
- Don't use the WAMC subforum as your only source of application feedback - it should just be one of many resources that you use.
- It is very difficult to judge your chances or recommend schools without an DAT score. If you do not have an DAT score, please at least include any practice DAT scores you have received (like an average of BC scores). If you have not taken the DAT or any practice tests, consider holding off on posting a WAMC thread until you have your scores back.
- Remember that the more information you can provide, the more specific the advice other members can give you. Be as precise and comprehensive as possible for optimal results.
- Do your own research as well. If someone's advice seems off, check into it yourself and see what you can find. Remember that users here are posting of their own accord and the accuracy of advice cannot be guaranteed.
