Hello, I have a bit of a situation that I am trying to figure out. I applied to the Texas programs this summer (am a TX resident), and I have only heard back from UTHSCSA. I am starting to wonder why Houston and A&M have yet to get back to me so I recently went over my application.
When I originally filled out my application, I had filled out all of my shadowing hours and community service hours, forwarding myself hours that I would gain before matriculation. Shortly before I submitted my application, I was told that the hours should represent what we have already accomplished, and we shouldn't be forwarding hours before matriculation. Therefore, I went back to my application and fixed everything... or so I thought.
It turns out that under my shadowing hours, I guess I had not corrected one of the dentists that I had been shadowing, and instead of displaying the 50 hours that I had shadowed, it displayed the 125 hours that I was expecting to gain before matriculation. Everything else in my application was fixed correctly, and displays what I have already accomplished. Should I be concerned with this or am I just getting in my head way too much? Also this same dentist was one of my letters of recommendation. Is it common for a letter of recommendation to include all the hours that you have shadowed/spent in their office? Please let me know what you think!
My GPA is a 3.76o and 3.65bcp, I have a 21 AA, 21 TS, and a 22 PAT. I have never used SDN before and was directed here by a few friends who are regulars, so please forgive me if I have misused something.
