Whats the best part of your application?

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Working in dental office for 3.5 years and being a RDH. No acceptances though 🙁
 
may I ask how much volunteering did you do? i have over 570 hrs, i did it in different healthcare fields including 270 in dental office and i am not sure if thats enough or i still need to do more volunteering. Thanks

I wouldn't worry about doing any more volunteering if I were you.

0_0 Those numbers are definitely not what's holding back your application...

Just work on those grades/scores

I would say I'm a well rounded applicant, but the 24/26 AA/PAT helped alot 😉

Oh wow. I just coached two soccer teams and racked up liek 200 hours or so. I had some other volunteer which would only happen 1 time every week or two. But i had a lot of stuff with kids, tutoring, and coaching.

I think my GPA and DAT scores complimented eachother as well. Neither was outstanding, but definately competitive and close or above (just a little) average.

Must be my research, because so far every person who has posted has better than me... whether its hours volunteering, DAT, or dental xp.
 
I'm very good at video games (props to livingthedream)! :laugh:
 
Essay, background, and improved grades. 👍
 
Best part of my app? That's it's over, submitted and accepted!😍
 
Hm....
My extracurricular activities and my GPA... perhaps?? 😀😉🙂
 
The part where I discovered the cure to cancer...but blew the DAT. No acceptances!
 
Interview...........I absolutely killed it!!
 
letters of recommendation/gpa


i also think it helped that im an ortho assistant
 
Work experience: 800+ hours as an Orthodontic Assistant
 
Burping the abc's in the interview really "sealed the deal" for me.
 
business-economics major, had a real strong interviewe
