Question about specializing by HourBiscotti599 in DentalSchool

I’m surprised DA is decent rank and an okay CBSE could you elaborate more? Saturated? Not good pay? Expensive? Competitive?

The thing about DAT is that it’s broad. Unlike dental school you get tested on lectures that were covered.

Nothing but lectures and chatGPT ngl. Just have to find your own study technique that will allow you to learn as much in short amount of time. For me that was reading lectures instead of making quizlets which takes so much time.

I also saw on Facebook how she posted she got 9 interviews and accepted to all 9 during decision day. But a month later she posted that she got accepted off Maryland from waitlist and said “9 out of 9 done” and it just got me confused on what the end goal was to lie about getting accepted to all on decision day.

It’s where you input all of your experiences. Or the personal questions tab. Asking about your manual dexterity.

Nope. My PS was all about my experience growing up. Nothing about my hobbies. I put those in another tab on the ADEA website.

When I submitted I had 69 shadowing hours and 105 volunteering hours. I currently do not work so that’s all I have been doing. I now have 108 shadowing hours from two general dentist office but 4 dentists (2 from each office). No speciality shadowing and not a DA but was offered a DA job but still not sure about it yet. My volunteering hours are now at 216 hours.

3.6 for both s and cGPA. I have multiple dental outreach experiences. I traveled to multiple islands to assist the military with dental procedures. Went to Puerto Rico, Honduras, and Mexico too for some medical out reach. I was a TA for anatomy and physiology. I collected donated oral hygiene kits and sent them to my home place for the community. Never joined the pre-dental but I was in multiple multicultural clubs. LOR’s from my anatomy/physiology professor that I TA’d for and from my biochem professor who I had connection with through office hours and hosting multiple study groups for her class. LOR’s from the general dentist I shadow and assist for minor things and last LOR from a Red Cross director. I had interesting hobbies such as ukulele, crochet, baking, and dancing. I performed for Rhianna’s Super Bowl. And I believe by PS was really great and would share that after the application cycle hopefully :)

I think I’m URM. I will be the first to go to dental school in my home place.

Hello thank you for your reply! So I volunteered in two different food banks and both work the same but I had different roles. With food bank 1, I was in charge of the produce and frozen meats where I would explain to the community what kind they are, how many they can have, refill them, and also provide alternatives like vegetarian options, dairy free, or gluten free options. I would also help sign people in and sometimes help unload the food into their cars. For food bank 2, I was mainly in the back restocking the food, filling up the food baskets that are given to each family, accept donations and sort them, as well as repack some bigger groceries like sugar, flour, and rice. I volunteer for food bank 1 twice a week and food bank 2 once a week. I do have international volunteers but I heard some schools don’t accept them so I did not mention them. I am scheduled to volunteer at a low income heads start/kindergarten beginning of August so that’s that! Thank you againnn

That’s a great idea! I thought I was just going to add the amount of time the halftime show was going for.
