Hey y'all, what ever came of the FAQ Sticky for this forum that got talked about for a little while and then somehow got lost in the fray?

Perhaps it would be useful for us to post on this thread some questions we'd like to see appear on a FAQ Sticky -- that is to say, which questions are you SICK & TIRED of hearing ppl ask? 🙂

We could keep a running list?
Proposed first additions:

  1. DDS vs. DMD (oh, the agony of seeing this one!!! And I've only been here a little while!!)
    3 links: Prerequisites to take before/when applying, including whether a Bachelor's is necessary and work schedules with study
    DAT Stat Format
    2 links: Using AADSAS & Infosource
    General Advice for Applicants
    Stats for 2002 Applicants
    Stats for 2003 Applicants
    Stats for 2004 Applicants
    List of links to threads discussing certain dent schools in particular (need 2 get links for this, but that's a lotta work).
These are only a very few of the zillions of things it would be useful to have in the FAQ. Please add more ideas!
For additions to the list, to keep us from having to post whole threads over again, maybe it would be good to post each suggestion with or as a LINK (either to a post or to a thread (I prefer thread links, but that's just me)).

It's up to ALL OF US to make a really decent FAQ Sticky.
We can't expect just one person, with DS work in addition, to do the whole thing for us!! I think we can, however, ask such a person to manage the Sticky, weed out duplicate links, etc., especially because I think only the higher-ups can do this anyway.

So get to the search page and do a little legwork, peeps!


Just a thought. 😀
