Hey guys,
I'm currently a sophomore and after this semester, my motivation to do better in school is full in gear.
But I have no idea what to do regarding my extracurriculars.
Should I do research? If yes, then what kind? Is research really important for applying to dental schools?
I know I need a good GPA, DAT scores, and many job-shadowing hours but apart from that what should I do more?
My mom said that I should take classes (16 weeks) to become a dental assistant since she thinks that will make me stand out and also, show the schools that I'm really interested in dentistry, blah blah blah.
I personally am really interested in dentistry and do want to be a dentist but I still think my mom's idea is a little too extreme and time-consuming. What's you guys' take on this?
If you could please give me some advice on what I should do, I'd really appreciate it.
