This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Alright guys, this is what I like to see: TEAMWORK!! This is one reason why the Class of 007 will be a great class who has not only as sense of responsibility to the profession, but a sense of responsibility to each other. A TWO WAY STREAK.

Let the good times roll, and let us always be great friends first before colleagues. I look forward to our meeting. Regardless, of how one may feel about meeting us. We at Chestnut Arms will defintaly illustrate the true passion of this class: Cooperation.

I'll see you guys the fifth of August. I wish I could come down sooner, but need to spend as much time with my family before I join my new one.

If anyone would like to discuss anything about PENN, feel free to give me a call. I just got my Philadelphia number at: (215) 740-5708. I'll try my best to help you out.

ALI, hopefully you check us out and maybe might want to live there too. It will be a great place. To all those who haven't found housing, or want to switch from student housing to private housing feel free to drop by and see what it is like, only 1.5 blocks from the dental school.

Hey edkahn:

I'm really glad you are considering PENN dental. It truly is a great school. If you plan to visit the school prior to applying you have our numbers, give us a call and we will show you around. That goes for everyone.

Wishing you the best,

DesiDentist
 
Look forward to meeting you DesiDentist. First thing I'll have to do before going to PENN is to take my DAT😱 I'm taking a Kaplan class during the fall semester, and I am gonna take the DAT over winter break. I was just wondering if any of you would be kind enough to share you DAT scores? I looked in the ADEA's Guide to Dental Schools, but I would like to know some numbers that people actually got. Take Care
 
Hey Guys!!

Liya, I can't wait to meet you too!!!

PennDiddy, Desi, Scandalous, etc 8-1 I'll be at my pad in Chestnut Arms and YOU ALL BETTER GIVE ME A CALL. I'll drop you guys my number. The party is already on the roll..........

Edkahn--let me know when you wanna come to Philly, You need something you let me know!! This is my school!🙂

Moving out so soon!!
 
Alright, so im guessing everyone is getting ready for the move?!?

I can't believe how much CRAP i've accumulated from undergrad, it's insane!!

Anyways, for all those who are getting to philly and needing a hand just give me a shout!
 
hi everyone
I just received an Email from Corky regarding dexterity in th Dent sim Lab. Do you guys know how many Dent sim units we have? I don't remember seeing them during my interview tour.
 
During my interview I think they only had 1 or 2 and they said they didnt use them very much. But, i was talking to someone, I forgot who and they said they were being redone, and we are gonna be the first class to fully use them, so unfortunatly I cant really answer your question, but I assume we have quite a few since we are supposed to be using them pretty regularily.
 
Yes, we will be the first class to exclusively use the Dent-Sim's. It was ironic before that the Dent-Sim's were developed and tested at the University of Pennsylvania, but were not a crucial part of the curriculum. However, this will change for our class. In fact, we will use them first, and then the second year students will use them (so we will have to teach them, so use this for black mailing rights!) :hardy:

DesiDentist
 
Well i just email Corky back and now i cant wait to start the simlab!!! I saw a picture int he perspectous Penn sent and was wondering abt it since i never saw a simlab when i interviewed there. In fact they showed us a lab in the basement which was archaic but still cos its penn!

So do you guys think we should make our "patients"?

I think Ill call my simlab patient "Bubba"
 
Hey guys:

You've been getting emails from Corky? I didn't get one, if anyone could forward me the email I would appreciate it. I think my email address is obsolete that is in my file. I would appreciate any one sending it to me.

Thanks,

DesiDentist

Check your email, i forwarded corky's email to you guys.....also there was one from Sue Schwartz...forwarded that too
 
Thanks to all the peeps that forwarded the emails!:hardy:

Hey kids,

Scandalous where you been?!?!?

Last ngiht we hit up this new-wave sushi joint called "pod" which turned out to be pretty decent.....the conveyer belt style sushi bar was tight, just don't let me and scandalous sit there too long.

As for the pre-orientation events I think we're all gonna go to some of them, not sure how many but definitely some of them. Liya don't worry just get here safely, because there is plenty of time to get to go out..........Besides the first few weeks won't be too demanding.....I hope not at least😀

If anyone needs a hand dont hesitate.......215 386-6575.
 
Hey Everyone,
So there it was our first week of school. IT WAS AWESOME!!! Everythign i expected and more. We have the best class so far, friendly, fun and smart too. Our avg GPA for this class was 3.53. Cool right? Well, anyways just wanted to get us back on top on this forum. Will keep you updated🙂 Ciao everyone😍
 
Alright!!

So for everyone who wondered how could people on the net talk so and finally meet, well its been crazy fun. For those who wanted to know, the girls here are AWESOME.

All i can say is thank goodness😉
 
PENN women have the best teet....hs!!!
 
Go Shawty its your birthday..................

Diddy, kid the time has come to get crazy again. This week we got to bust it up in class. Yo, BC lec tomorrow, and I still don't know where to go..............damn maze.

Atlantic city next weekend?
 
Well, I have to admit the first week was hectic but man, the people in our class are spectacular. Especially, all of the SDNers and their friends. As for the girls, there are 19 more girls than guys here....

We are the class of 007, you know.

They are from all over, Russia, Taiwan, India, Japan, Korea, Africa, Middle East, and galore.

I think we have a guy from Alaska in our class...wow. almost the North Pole.

Well, Operative Dentistry and the Simulation Lab are so worth it. Even if I am getting 50% on cavity preparations. We here at PENN used high speed drills with 330 drill bit our second day of class. That was fun.

Anyways, Biochemistry and Histology & Embryo tomorrow.

Liya, NC2PA, Scandalouslj, PENN Diddy, Cobecana, and my compadre Shootin4Par....its great to finally meet ya.

I'll post some pics up of the SDN crew soon enough.

DesiDentist
 
Well the first official week of classes is over.

All in all, classes are great, DentSim (simulation Lab) is a ton of fun, a little fustrating but gives you the feeling of being in a clinical setting (minus a few obvious differences). Without a doubt there is a leap from undergrad, but for at least this week they are easing us into the program. Next week we pick up an additional course: Gross Anatamoy Lecture.

We are currently taking: Biochem. Histo/Embryo, Intro to Med, Community oral health, and dentsim. Unlike other schools we're not of a semester system. We have classes starting and ending at all different times throughout the year. It's interesting, but we'll keep you posted on how it goes.

And yes, there is an excellent work and life balance. . . . . . Scandalous can expound on that a little.......🙂
 
shooting4par... I tried sending you a pm, but your inbox was full. Please let me know when I can send you a pm. Thanks!!
 
Wimmcs--

Sorry about that, my inbox gets full often.......go ahead and drop me a line.
