Hello,

I plan on applying to dental schools in Texas this cycle. I applied two years ago but did not make it. Some paperwork was missing in my app. I have been teaching high school bio for a year now. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how I could make my application stronger for this year. I plan on retaking the DAT this summer and doing some more shadowing.

After the summer, I will be faced with the decision to teach one more year meanwhile I could take one to two classes online or not teach at all and go back to school as a post bac student. While teaching will bring in good income I can save for dental school, going back to school will strengthen my science background. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! 🙂
