Hello, you all =)

I have a question regarding shadowing. It is the biggest dilemma I have now. I want to apply this June. My family dentist wants me to start shadowing after he finish expanding his office which will be in July. He really has way too many associates and assistants to be in that tiny office. Should I wait or should I start somewhere now? I work full time and take classes at night. And, I registered to take DAT this June. I barely have time to comb my hair. I don't know what kind of impact it will have if I state on my application that I arranged 80 hours of shadowing but I won't really start until I finish submit my application. oh.. Headache 😕
 
rcmonkeypie,
Call around, don't wait for your dentist to expand his office before you can shadow him. I know if you call around you can find one or two dentists that will allow you to shadow them. Just remember you don't have to do all the 80 hours at once. two hours here three hours there before you know it you have all the hours that you need. Just my two cents.
