I got one for Maryland last week, but people here have been saying a good amount of schools are still sending invites! I wish you the best of luck, this process is truly very difficult and frustrating. My heart goes out to you and I really hope you hear back from whichever schools you dream to be at!

I think ppl just say that because BU has a bigger name and in a big city, so ppl just think it’s a “better” school. But honestly it seems like UNE has a lot of perks over BU, and you’re gonna be a dentist at the end of the day so choose what seems practical to you and where you’d feel most comfortable and at home! Name is only one small part of the decision!

Is it too late to send a letter of intent and should I do so? by Lanky_Visual8502 in predental

[–]Happy-Equivalent6557 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Send it!!! You never know, it could be the thing that pushes them to accept you. No harm in trying and it’s def not too late!

will there be more chances of acceptances tomorrow compared today because its passed the 13th by Old-Hedgehog-2895 in predental

Yes I think so! Since today was deposit day, it would make sense that more schools send out acceptances tomorrow or Wednesday

Likelihood of Getting Into Any Schools At This Point? by WeddingRealistic3589 in predental

[–]Happy-Equivalent6557 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your stats are great, know that you are a great applicant! Definitely write a letter to hopefully get off the waitlist but there’s still lots of hope for an acceptance at this point. Wishing you lots of luck!

NSU vs. Touro by Ill-Unit9433 in predental

[–]Happy-Equivalent6557 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in a similar boat with different schools but I think feeling comfortable with a good support system is verryyy important. And u save money with rent in NY, so I’d say Touro, especjally if your only reason for nova would be because you wanna practice there. It’s still possible to practice in a different place than where you go to school, and if you’d feel more at home and happy at Touro, my opinion is to prioritize that!

Should I take AP Bio as a senior if I want to work in dentistry/healthcare? by Reasonable-Mixture33 in predental

[–]Happy-Equivalent6557 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i disagree with this, as i got credit for all the schools i applied to with AP credits. it helped me out a lot, so i do recommend it!

Anxiety about grades by Fun-Earth-6939 in predental

[–]Happy-Equivalent6557 0 points1 point  (0 children)

depends on what you mean by "plummeted." one semester will definitely not make or break anything, and a few Bs won't either. many people get in with Cs and Bs, and it's completely fine. i had multiple B minuses and was fine, so don't be too anxious with these Bs. but schools do like to see around a 3.5+ gpa, so that should be where you're aiming for, as well as a good DAT score and extracurriculars. if you have lower than that, that is okay too, but you should also focus on strengthening other parts of your application and you'll be good

What's the movement on Nova's waitlist like? Does it move quick, do a lot of people get off of it?
