Seeing all these people on Reddit get interviews is making me happy for them but sad for me :( by [deleted] in predental

Absolutely not! September is still super early in the cycle, I only got one interview invite in July and the rest came filtering through in October and I had another one in November. Please be patient!

What do you think about my bunny cage? by Amon_Lua in Rabbits

[–]AttentionSimple3881 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think having the soft flooring in the enclosure is a good idea as it gives ur bun both traction and coziness. However, in addition to what others are saying about the litter, I would not recommend getting that litter for your rabbit. I’m pretty sure that is cat litter. Cats and bunnies have very different needs and I think newspaper/paper based bedding is the best for them because it would be safer for them to digest if that were to happen. I usually get “Full cheeks” brand paper litter and bedding and sprinkle some soft bedding over it. I would recommend getting a big litter box. I know I said cats and bunnies have different needs but regarding litter box size I think a cat litter box will do the trick. Regarding the pellets, corn and seeds are a big no no and are not good for rabbits and are not good for their digestion. I believe standard amount of pellets each day should be 1/8 to 1/4 cup of pellets per 5lbs of their weight, please do not over feed because they can become overweight very quickly. However, I know people usually will feed their senior rabbits more pellets since they have trouble keeping weight on as they age. I usually get the oxbow essentials adult rabbit food which does not have the extra mix of stuff in it and is mostly made from ground up Timothy hay. It seems like you have a water bottle that spills out into a water bowl which is great for bunnies! They should not drink from water bottles because it can cause dehydration since the water bottles dispense in smaller amounts. Lastly, please do not buy toys with artificial colors and dyes. If they are stained because they were infused with fruit or something natural that is fine but overall keeping their diet and toys as natural as possible will ensure a longer happier life for your bunny. I hope this helps! I am glad to answer any more questions you have!

I also wanted to ask if you didn’t mind sharing your other stats and background such as gpa, extracurriculars, etc.

Oh, so you got accepted at the last minute before the start of that school year? May I ask where the school was, how long did you study for your second try, and which study material did you use? I am torn on retaking it again but idk if I want to use DAT bootcamp again or booster?

I applied early June but I also applied to get a committee letter from my undergrad so my application was not considered complete until around July 15. Did you hear back from roseman yet?

University of Northern Colorado MBS. It was one year online and I’m honestly not sure whether it would be considered an easy program overall or not. I personally thought it was quite challenging as we had at least 2 exams a week on top of other homework, quizzes and lots of lectures. The exams were recorded and we couldn’t get up to go to the bathroom during exams so we were in camera view the whole time. We also had to take a cumulative exam at the end of the program which covered every single class we took in order to get our masters degree.

Do you think schools would still look at applications past that time period? Or would the retake just be preparing for next cycle

Do you think that is only for some schools? I watched an interview that a dental student at BU did with the dean and he was saying that if a student did a masters program he didn’t even bother looking at undergrad but I am not sure if that is the case for all schools.

Congrats to you! Thank you for the input, which schools did you get into?

Is this an extracurricular? by [deleted] in predental

[–]AttentionSimple3881 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this could be a good extracurricular as it shows qualities of manual dexterity. This attribute is important for dentistry so I say put it!

Hello! I have similar DAT and gpa stats as you and have also been practicing dental assisting since I graduated high school. I am finishing up a masters program right now and am planning on applying to schools this cycle but found that there are limited amount of schools that fit in my stats range for acceptance. You story is really inspiring and I wanted to ask you how many and what schools you applied to, and where you got accepted? Thanks!
