When I submitted my application in July, I had:

10 hours in general dentistry
6 hours at an orthodontist's clinic
20 hours at a dental clinic

For a total of 36 hours.

Now I have

31 hours in general dentistry
6 hours at an orthodontist's clinic
20 hours at a dental clinic
9 hours at an oral surgeon's clinic

For a total of 66 hours. By the beginning of september, I hope to have ~75 hours.

Should I wait until I get to ~75 hrs or email the schools now and tell them my plan of shadowing more?
