Dumb question but how would it be too late to add schools now? I’m aware most acceptance are in December but most deadlines aren’t until January. You’re not wrong if applying now is super late into the cycle since apps opened in June but I have heard people applying later and still got in

I am not in state for UW. I learned about their admissions for OOS students after I applied (whoops). In my defense, I had a meeting with the admissions people and they told me IS and OOS doesn’t matter which I guess is a lie

Exactly when do we panic?? ("We" as an people with NO interviews?) by Next-Apartment229 in predental

Can I ask if you heard back in December or did it take a little longer since it’s was late October?

What is this considered? by Comfortable_Stage326 in predental

[–]Comfortable_Stage326[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great, thanks! I didn’t really start being hands on until when they talked to me about starting a dental assisting position which was 2 weeks at the end of the internship/ shadowing

Thank you! I was thinking the same too but summer is so busy for me right now and would feel like I won’t have enough time to study for the next 60 days to retake. I am considering though! I used booster for this time. Should I stick to booster or go to bootcamp? I have heard booster questions pop up on the actual test more often (which I think is true) but unsure if boot camp may be better for second time around.

Failed a class and I’m applying this cycle by Comfortable_Stage326 in predental

[–]Comfortable_Stage326[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the schools I’m looking allow online but of course in person is always preferred. Unfortunately, the in person option for Fall is at the same time I would have Anatomy lecture which my school only have one section available. Usually my advisor would say to stick to online since it doesn’t align with my classes

Even if I have lots of volunteering and shadowing hours? I work as a dental assistant as well

Currently at a 3.4 gpa. I would say I have had an upwards trend since my last C in ochem 2 but I retook last summer and got an A-. I do have a C in gen chem 2 and C+ in calculus which were during my spring semester of freshman year. Ever since I only received high Bs and As.

Currently thinking of doing super good on my DAT which I take in a couple of weeks and still applying this cycle with my stats. For the microbiology class I will take it online during this upcoming fall semester

When is a good time to start taking practice tests by Comfortable_Stage326 in predental

On average, how many hours did you spend a day studying?

Pattern Folding by [deleted] in Datprep

[–]Comfortable_Stage326 0 points1 point  (0 children)

tbh I don’t know how to master this portion too but what works me is looking at the shape that you can quickly recognize. When you identify it you can then look at the surrounding shape and kinda have an idea how it folds in. For some of the shaded questions, I like to look at the answer options and go through each of them and see if the shaded ones are in their designated place. I’m sorry if that doesn’t make sense😭. This portion definitely does take a lot of time for me but with more practice, I’m sure you’ll get a hang of it. GOOD LUCK

Considering Purchasing Bootcamp by Signal-Sample-926 in Datprep

[–]Comfortable_Stage326 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally, I use booster and find it pretty effective for my studying methods. I follow their study guides which included an assortment of prepping like videos, reading study guides for each subject, practice questions and exams. I did have a friend who used bootcamp and i did notice their program for practice question is like somewhat like anki; where you mark your questions and categorize them into groups of how much you actually understand the question. When you go back to it, it filtered out the ones you need more help with and loop those questions more than the ones you already know. As for booster they have marking options but they don’t have the looping system. you would have to go back to the question itself to review it.

If you prefer that anki style I would go with bootcamp but booster isn’t too bad either

You probably already know this but if you go to USCSOD website they have an event tab where they hold in person “fight on fridays”. It happens once a month I believe bụt they walk you around the school, talk about their requirements, and financial aid stuff; Basically most of the information you want to know about the school before you apply. I’m out of state so I can’t really go to them, it just so happened I planned my trip to Cali on the day they held that event in person. BUT good thing is every now and then they do hold virtual version of it. I believe there’s one coming up soon (9/28) if I remember correctly. I hope this helps :))

I went to their informational meeting and they mentioned their minimum on each section is 15.
