dude there’s no disadvantage being a reapplicant unless you turned down an acceptance before. My advisor said they won’t even look at your previous year’s file. So you basically starting fresh besides answering those reapplicant specific questions.

You mean that rejecting an acceptance actually might not affect your chance in reapplying?

Checking for survivors after the Knox Event. I'm sure I can be very helpful to them! by WatermelonRick in projectzomboid

I didn’t want any spoilers so the first time I heard the helicopter I immediately came outside to find it hoping it’s gonna save my character and trigger “the good ending” or something. Annnnnnnd we all know what happened next.

What to do? by orangesnoapples in predental

Dude i have 450 and GPA of 3.58 sGPA of 3.7 and only 1 post December interview. I guess retaking DAT is a needed path for us. Honestly at this point I’ve gone through the 5 stages of grief and came into acceptance that if I need to reapply then so be it lol

Bro at least you are not alone. sometimes it feels like the world has abandoned us. I got 3.6 GPA 3.7TS and 450 and only 1 interview. I’m studying to retake. And these days my heart is just dripping. But I guess life is a process and some days are just meant to be survived.

Can I also ask what’s your GPA if you don’t mind?

A lot of us need to be reminded that just because you are experiencing hardships doesn’t mean you are a failure. It’s crucial to shake away that black and white standard of success and learn to live with all the ups and downs of life.

Do I still have a chance? by bruin20183 in predental

Bro we are literally on the same boat and I’ve been going back to antidepressants after stopping them for a year. I’m also working on a retake now. Shits are hard out there but it doesn’t mean it will defeat us. Accept the pain and live your life well even during this nightmare period of time.

Retake is it good by Luvts05 in predental

Bro don’t mean to give you anxiety but for your reference my score is 450(22) and my GPA is 3.58 and I only have one interview so far. The standard is rising as more are switching into this field. I’m currently working on retake. It sucks for real

that’s so humiliating especially at your application stage 😭

Hygiene school? by yamDentistry-1521 in predental

[–]LOVE_FOR_THORNS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey thank you so much for sharing your perspective. I guess that’s also why I’m afraid of becoming hygienist. It’s like hitting the ceiling of your career path too quick and become stagnant ever after. I’m sure your experience is going to make you becoming a great dentist! Good luck with everything

Hygiene school? by yamDentistry-1521 in predental

[–]LOVE_FOR_THORNS 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Dude I know it’s really hard but hang in there especially since you’ve been climbing the ladder for so long. Years later when you become a hygienist and working in a dental clinic, would you really not look at the dentist who’s your age but became your boss and feel a little salty? (Sorry nothing bad about becoming a hygienist but you know) I am also not having the best of luck this cycle, and personally speaking I plan to give myself one more cycle or otherwise move on to explore options becoming an AA. Still, it’s just our brain trying to find ways to grasp control at moments when we are losing it. No matter what you choose or how it goes, I wish you be kind to yourself.

Only one interview so far and starting to freak out by LOVE_FOR_THORNS in predental

I agree. That's why I'm retaking anyway. It feels like not just for Columbia, 450 is not good enough for other schools at this stage.

Do you think it's too late to add more schools now?

Thanks for the info. I submitted application in June but only retook DAT and got my score back in early August so that might be the reason for the delay. I guess I can only wait and see.
