hey everybody,
i have been shadowing/working for a dentist for the last few months and i wasn't able to put this down on my application because i sent it in before i started the job. do you guys think it's possible/good/unnecessary to contact the schools which i applied to and tell them about extra stuff i've been doing? my main reason for asking this is cuz my friend who is applying for med school told me that he contacted the schools he applied to and told them to update his application with new stuff he's been doing. do you guys think it's the same for dental schools? would it really help/increase my chances?
 
Hey Bus Driver,
I definitely think you should contact the schools and give them an update. I'm sure they'd love to hear that you've been getting hands-on experience.
