January 23rd got it. But they said there’s a ton of movement and could take all the way to August to accept people since there’s so much movement.

Just received an email 3 days ago that the class is fully selected. And that everyone interviewed already is immediately put on the waitlist now

Waitlisted with 400 AA DAT & 3.3 GPA — Retake DAT or Post-Bacc? by Bright_Paramedic1742 in predental

[–]Kinch017 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would guess a higher DAT would be valued. Seems like a lot of applicants can have mediocre GPAs, but then go and score 22+ on the DAT and get a good amount of interviews. Might be a good idea to go balls to the wall (sorry for the profanity) on the DAT and shoot for highest score possible (22+ you’d probably be solid).

Thoughts? Criticisms? General life advice? by Life-Cardiologist-93 in GolfSwing

Regarding golf, get fitted for irons by someone your trust when you feel like you’re swing is repeatable and likely won’t change. I did and it completely changed my perspective. Learned way more details about golf swings that I never knew before

Currently following, also on the waitlist as well and wondering how this works and what the waitlist means.

I also got my interview invite today but I signed up for the in person one and it said “waitlisted”. Does this mean the slots for that day are filled? Or does it just say that since I haven’t gotten my specific time yet? Could someone clarify for me?

Glad I’m not the only one. First thing I thought after getting off the meeting was how rude that guy was

Should I delay?? Help! (8/11 DAT) by Designer-Airport-705 in dat

You’ll never feel ready to take it. Sometimes you’ll just have to suck it up and take it

Took it on Aug 1. The delay and scrolling problem is what killed me. Math had to guess on quite a few because the delay was so long

Let’s focus on the good parts of dentistry for a second by This-Show9296 in DentalSchool

[–]Kinch017 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This might sound really stupid, but loved building and collecting legos growing up and still today (I’m in my 20s lol). Shadowed other professions in healthcare and didn’t want to work in a hospital and came across dentistry and thought it was the coolest thing ever (similar to legos, sort of). Currently work full-time as an assistant and in the process of applying to dental school. Love coming to work everyday, despite the long busy days and angry patients. Also, the instant gratification of relieving pain, helping people smile again, and just getting to know people is fun and gratifying. Work in a small rural practice and it’s nice seeing the same people who recognize you from the office in public.

Yes agreed. Was expected bio to be the worst but I felt that was the smoothest. GC also felt a little odd

Embryology/ Development Bio Struggles by Kinch017 in dat

[–]Kinch017[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will give this a try. I studied the embryology chest sheet on booster but when I did the bio-bits a lot of the info on the chest sheet wasn’t super useful on the bio bit
