Hi Everyone,
May you tell me how many hours of dental volunteering is required for application?(I completed 100 hours hospital volunteering; Do I need to be a volunteer in a dental office too?) Why do aa and ts (especially percentage) fluctuate for very similar scores(even if ones score is lower)? Or in other words ->Is it fair to see this kind of result?
Such as:
Applicant 1 Applicant 2
QR 23 21
RC 21 20
BIO 20 21
GC 20 20
OC 21 21
TS 20(84%) 21(87%)
AA 21(91%) 21(93.1%)
👎
Sincerely!

Well unless you were shadowing TMJ cases/dental surgeries in the hospital, I dont think they'll view your volunteer work as relevant to your dental aspirations

Biology gets more emphasis on how TS is determined that's why applicant 2 is higher TS, also QR doesn't get counted in to TS, so 23 isn't gona raise applicant 1's TS.
