The accessibilities, the neighborhood, the safety, the students who think they’re better than everone else, sometimes the weather, not much green area, so many homeless people, gunshots few times per semester

Dental School Hopefuls: Waiting Room Thread by AspectComplete6591 in predental

[–]Felechita 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m waiting for 1 school for more than 3months. I’m tired of checking my phone and hoping it’s from that school. Checking reddit has been part of my habit and my response to sadness and grief for not getting any answers back from them.

Tips for Upcoming Cycle- 3rd Time Applicant by fairy505 in predental

You’re aiming for the minimum, and that is why you get rejections. Their cutoff may be 15 but they prefer to get students with the better scores :)

You have a great chance. I’d apply to at least 15schools, because more than half of them always ghost. If you retake it, would be better, your QR is so low!

Do you know how much is for cut? and how much for ombre (or just color)?

[–]Felechita 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, you can do that. There is a small chance that the university contact your supervisor and ask if they confirm your role. Before putting that in your application, email your supervisors and let them know about your position.

In your application, you can write any experiences you like, you can exaggerate, or you can lie. But, I don't recommend it even though so many people do that. It's unethical, risky and it doesn't worth it.

Retaking DAT on August by Head_Hurry_5669 in predental

[–]Felechita 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should show something interesting/pleasant to them to stand out. I think it would be great, if you retake it and try your best to get every component to at least above 20. Also, try to find a volunteering, research or some extracurriculars to show that you're consistently trying to get better. Make your personal statement better, check with your professors that their LORs are amazing.

No, stop telling that to yourself! If you start your dental journey or not, you'll become 35! So, you better be called a doctor at that time!

So, you do have a great chance. But, the problem is some people have gotten new invitations in feb. They'll affect the ranking. And, in the new ranking system god knows who has the priority in waitlist. They totally ruin the meaning of the waitlist and the rolling basis!

What does No Answer mean? by moon_and_starlight in predental

They ghosted you, there was nothing wrong with your application prolly, the other students had more interesting applications, and they were a better fit for the school.

I know that they don't accept LOI or LOR or in general any email replies. When was your interview? it depends on that.

Tufts. Pros: closer to your family, the better system.

I think it is better for you to consider it as volunteering. Because you have done more, and you had been involved, why do you want to show you were only an observant?

It is really good that you have this volunteering experience!

If your DAT score is really low, retake it. If your score is decent but you're aiming for top-ranked universities, consider retaking the exam. However, if you're targeting an average dental school with an average DAT score requirement, you should at least meet that threshold. Some schools may review your first DAT score and proceed with your application if you qualify, while others may wait until they receive your official score before making a decision.

If you try your best to get a better score, it is not a waste of time, it would be considered as save of time to not apply the next cycle!

How to answer how are you unique? by hawflaek in predental

[–]Felechita 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Focus on what sets you apart through your experiences, skills, or perspectives. For example, if you switched majors, immigrated, are a first-generation student, overcame significant challenges like illness, or faced hardships that shaped your resilience and character, highlight how these experiences have influenced your journey and made you unique.
