Hi! I am a newbie here, having been lurking and enjoy this site very much.
I was set to begin my junior year this fall but unfortunately had to have unplanned major surgery two weeks ago, not allowed to drive or do stairs for weeks, so I decided to lay out this semester. My problem is this: I am afraid that I will forget too much even with studying of my year of gen chem and bio, math, etc. I will take a gen ochem in spring and trig and that will be enough to prepare for the DAT and take it next summer BUT... I won't be applying until the next year.
Is this a good plan? What do you think the adcomms will think of this.
I have a 3.2 overall with 140 credit hours (I already have an associates degree from years ago), 3.8 since I started pre dental, and a 3.6 science. I plan on studying my butt off for this DAT and get in the 20s. Will this all be for nothing if they won't even accept a year-old DAT score?
Also, what do you think about applying a year early? What are the chances one could skip their senior year and get right into d-school?
I think I have a pretty good excuse for laying out a semester, and I have been shadowing more, taking a studio art class, things like that.
Your opinions would be appreciated!
