so i'm pretty new to this forum but i've been reading a couple posts. while many were informative i'd have to say they offer very little solace considering my current situation as a predent. i really want to apply and get this process over with so i can put that whole chapter of "aspiring to get in" behind me. and like any man with a plan i don't want to proceed blindly. to business. i need some help in terms of where my timeline should be. any help in answering the following would be much appreciated.
stats: grad '07, 1 year dental intern, 2 year clinical volunteer, 3 years research lab; 3.46 overall and 3.59 bio GPA; have yet to take the DAT
1. regardin' the ps. how much leeway do i have in letting my true self shine in this paper? i have a sense of humor that hinges on witty and sarcastic, would this be a good arena to voice that or save it for a future dentista? and in the same light can this humor spill over to into the actual app. I've seen that they ask you what things do you do require dexterity and in all honesty can i stick in things like: flossing, manual prophy 2xd, wii mote.
2. can i turn in my app before i take the DAT because i know there is that gap where we need to wait for the app to process and i was wondering if this gives me a safety time to study more before taking the plunge.
3. i got about 5 recs. two of which are pretty much madlibs by sci teachers, one dental, one research and i'm wondering should get a rec from my clinical research or would that be frowned upon?
thanks again
