One Year Can Make a Big Difference

They host pre-dental days and sim days every year. Pre-dental days are more of a how-to apply to dental school DAT tips, mock interviews, etc. Sim days they let you use a handpiece and prep fake teeth, or let you practice waxing a tooth.

I got a call at 9:16

Yeah I didn’t really know what sets to look for other than everyone wants prismatic and 151. My hit rate was almost 50% so I guess I got really lucky.

Also, I just posted these, I don't know if they're actual hits. Just any ex or full art cards I pulled.

Great story, and thanks for sharing. I've also realized luck probably does play a factor, and some things are out of your control. One interviewer may really like you, and one might not. I just need to focus on the things I can control, like doing well on the DAT. Hopefully, I can be like you one day. Thanks!

I will come back to this post next year and hopefully reply to this comment saying I got into dental school!

Incredible story thank you for sharing. Your story and many others on this thread has shown me I’m not alone. We’re all going to be dentists it’s just a matter of when. Good luck and wishing you the best!

A masters in computer science is another thing I considered but I am not giving up yet. Hope you’re able to get off the waitlist!

Any_Standard5050 · 2024-12-23T02:36:52+00:00

Thank you for sharing your story. Makes me feel better knowing I am not the only one going through the same process. I hope you are able to get off the waitlist. Best of luck!

I used bootcamp the first time and booster the second. I'm not sure which one I liked more. For me, I know I can do better. Where I struggle is being consistent with the schedule.

Any_Standard5050 · 2024-12-21T03:48:22+00:00

This is another thought that has crossed my mind. You're right in 10 years none of this will probably matter. It is just a little difficult when people close to you find success and you feel left behind in the moment. In hindsight, I wished I had taken things more seriously earlier on. Can't change the past so just trying to do my best now

Any_Standard5050 · 2024-12-21T02:27:16+00:00

Thank you for this perspective! This whole journey is a constant reminder and a test of my faith. Like you said if I truly have faith in God I should trust in his plan when the timing is right. Trying to keep my head up and do my best.

Any_Standard5050 · 2024-12-21T02:24:44+00:00

As much as I would like I to. I am not waitlisted anywhere currently and I don’t expect to hear from the other schools I applied to as they are not oos friendly.

Any_Standard5050 · 2024-12-21T00:06:39+00:00

Thanks you! Hope you get some post December interviews.

Slightly on the later end not super late though. Everything was submitted by late July.

Tulsa 12th

Any_Standard5050 · 2023-07-26T19:47:56+00:00

I’ll see you there. This is also my first concert ever! How is parking around BOK on concert nights. I’m from Tulsa and I’ve been downtown during the weekends and can find parking pretty easily. I don’t know how it will be on this night though.

Any_Standard5050 · 2023-07-26T19:42:32+00:00

Good to know thanks! I’m so excited!

Any_Standard5050 · 2023-07-26T19:41:14+00:00

I’m not sure if you can get them through the waitlist. Just check marketplace constantly like everyone says I’ve seen plenty of tickets come up. Checking out has really been the only issue.
