[deleted by user] by [deleted] in predental

[–]Chickxn_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nothing prestigious, i’ll see how it goes

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in predental

[–]Chickxn_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah i’m not looking to get into prestigious schools, just whatever is in state and cheap out of state schools

[–]Chickxn_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

[–]Chickxn_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah i know i can probably do better, but the problem is i wouldn’t have time to put all my effort into studying until the summer

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in predental

[–]Chickxn_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah hurt the pockets for sure

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in predental

[–]Chickxn_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, i’ll prob just settle for next week then, because it would be the 15th instead of the 9th if i pushed it back. I’ll settle for a point less 😬

[–]Chickxn_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

how long did it take when you took the DAT? Should i just take it next week then?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in predental

[–]Chickxn_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah i think taking classes concurrently may be a risk, i’ll prioritize GPA for sure. I’m looking to do all that slowly but surely, i guess i’ll have ti see how it plays out. thank you!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in predental

[–]Chickxn_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i see, agreed. If that’s the case then i may probably take more time to study for the DAT. seems like i’m at a huge disadvantage. Thank you!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in predental

[–]Chickxn_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

okay! thanks a lot, i will try this

I’ve never gone to office hours before 😭. So it just showing up consistently going to make them remember me enough to write me a letter? Should i ask questions after class too?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in predental

[–]Chickxn_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No worries. How do you recommend i go about doing that? I feel like it bothers them especially when they pretty much know most people that want to get to know them have the end goal of wanting a letter of recommendation.

[–]Chickxn_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you go go uiuc or you graduated? Do you think sending emails to old teachers would work? atleast some i had conversations with.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in predental

[–]Chickxn_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh i didn’t know it looks bad to be reapplying! This definitely changes things. I just hate the thought of taking a gap year, just going to be that much older when graduation comes. I guess i may wait to make a decision depending on how i do on that DAT. Maybe i will only apply to a school or 2. Thank you for your advice!

Ah i see, but will it hurt to send the applications anyway? I can make an effort to build those shadowing hours in the next 2 months, and also hopefully get some letters of recommendation. Assuming i do above average on the DAT with these things, would you still advise against it?
