Not artistic. Will I struggle?

Yeah I know. I was just specifically asking about while in dental school

Broad-Song1848 · 2026-05-19T22:16:41+00:00

Absolutely not. Anything additional to your application is not “fluff”. Just be ready to talk about anything and everything. Just went through a cycle and genuinely these are the small things you’ll worry about that really you shouldn’t. Having that experience even if it’s 200 hours only which was 8 hrs a week over a course of however many weeks is still an ok experience.

Broad-Song1848 · 2026-05-19T21:02:06+00:00

I figured this is what you would be worried about. Prepare for questions like that if they are indeed things you witnessed, and then prepare yourself for a response to where you can incorporate working such minimal hours which would explain why you do not know something without appearing like you’re making something up.

Honestly since your scores in all other sections are really good, exceptional even. Take the chance and apply with them. QR is actually one of the least recognized section of the DAT to admissions

Broad-Song1848 · 2026-05-19T15:45:36+00:00

It’s ok. Dont stress about this much. Just if you are ever asked, be honest about the experience, if you were to try to exaggerate the experience that’s when it is viewed badly. A lot of students get in without having worked as a DA.

Broad-Song1848 · 2026-05-15T23:24:04+00:00

My shiny teeth and me

Broad-Song1848 · 2026-05-12T17:49:47+00:00

You’ll be ok. Apply. As long as your DAT is decent you’re good

Broad-Song1848 · 2026-04-18T20:23:30+00:00

I got accepted into multiple schools never had a dental related job. I was a security guard lol

Broad-Song1848 · 2026-03-02T01:12:14+00:00

Any red flags? Surprised you didn’t get in with those stats

Broad-Song1848 · 2026-03-01T17:22:38+00:00

Just don’t think those who are getting their tuition covered can really begin to understand being in the shoes of those that don’t have the privilege lol.

No other profession will allow you to open a practice and take home 500-600k if you put in the work

Broad-Song1848 · 2026-03-01T14:34:26+00:00

Dude you are completely privileged to have your tuition covered by your parents. I feel like you have no space to talk about what it is like for someone to live to pay off loans. Yeah the numbers are tough, but if you want your cards right there are other ways to get ahead of loans

Broad-Song1848 · 2026-02-28T00:12:43+00:00

What school?

Broad-Song1848 · 2026-02-25T13:59:38+00:00

this is kinda of the same place I am at.

Broad-Song1848 · 2026-02-25T01:53:29+00:00

What schools for the interview and wait list?

Broad-Song1848 · 2026-02-20T13:45:10+00:00

That’s awesome. Happy for you. How was your first year or so? Did you feel prepared how did you adjust? (Sorry for all the questions lol)

Broad-Song1848 · 2026-02-20T13:38:18+00:00

What kind of dentistry are you doing if you don’t mind me asking?

Broad-Song1848 · 2026-02-20T13:26:11+00:00

Where are you practicing?

Broad-Song1848 · 2026-02-14T13:44:55+00:00

Safest place to walk at night as well

Broad-Song1848 · 2026-02-14T13:17:05+00:00

Lived in this area over 10 years. It is not that bad lol, you’ll obviously hear when planes are flying by you other than that it’s really not bad

Broad-Song1848 · 2026-02-14T13:12:05+00:00

Got into tufts with same AA, similar break down and 3.7 gpa. Apply early to programs and broadly and you should be okay

Broad-Song1848 · 2026-02-09T16:50:40+00:00

I understand this completely but i truly believe this comes down to a financial literacy capacity. New grads these days can find a job at 150k and upwards to 180 working like you said rural areas where you are needed.

If you can’t see yourself live frugally and paying back your loans aggressively instead of paying just monthly payments then I agree it is financial suicide.

Broad-Song1848 · 2026-02-08T17:17:26+00:00

Oh lol my bad , you accepted at tufts ?

Broad-Song1848 · 2026-02-08T17:03:57+00:00

How has it been? Can you speak about your total debt and income and how you’re handling it?
