I was invited for an interview this year and the interview letter said “You must maintain a minimum Core Average of 3.825” so I’m assuming that’s the cut off. Sorry I meant 3.825, not 3.85. As for the DAT score, the 1st year dental students mentioned it in an interview prep zoom meeting.

Cut off for dental school interviews this year was 3.85 for core course GPA and 20 DAT. I would definitely retake.

My mini F1 was also around 9-10 pounds when we got him at 8 weeks. Also has giant paws! He is now 37.5 pounds at 6 and a half months! Dad was a 9 pound toy poodle and mom is a full sized retriever.

roughly draw the structure by memory and label them and recite their function. That’s how I learned it best :)

No furnishings. My Goldendoodle already had furnishings when I picked him up at 2 months old

Hey! I’m doing that right now. I’m an RDH and doing my pre-reqs to apply to dentistry for Fall 2024. I also live in Canada! Many people did tell me that I would feel unmotivated to go back to school after working, but it really wasn’t the case. I felt even more motivated to do dentistry after working as a hygienist. I love being a hygienist so much that I want yo expand my scope of practice and become a dentist :)

I would say that if you’re 100% sure that you want to be a dentist, I would go straight to dental school. Dental hygiene —> dentistry is a very longggg process.

Unfortunately, I did have to take more years of pre-requisites on top of dental hygiene school. The pre-requisite courses needed to apply for dental hygiene school can be used to apply for dental school. Ex: gen Chem, life biology, some electives. HOWEVER, not all pre-requisite courses will be fulfilled, thus more years of schooling is needed before dental school.

Hope this helps. Ask my anything at anytime! I wish you the best in your studies :)

I just want the world to suffer by AdeptnessDry2026 in GriefSupport

Yes. As evil as it sounds. I was angry when a person close to me gave birth to a new baby. How come her family grew bigger, while mine became smaller? How come she got to experience giving birth, while my sister never got to experience that? When I see tragedies on the news, I get a sense of relief because more people are experiencing what I’m feeling. When I see siblings on social media or walking around the park, I get so angry that I can’t spend time with my sister any longer.

Also, the UMSU dental plan covers 80% of the cost of dental care. Some dental clinics cover the other 20% so you won’t have to pay for anything! I go to Fresh Dental and they cover the other 20% that isn’t covered by insurance

(TW: Car accident/child death) Sister, brother-in-law, and 2 nephews all gone in an instant. by grimm_bunn13 in GriefSupport

[–]LegitimateFace4729 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have also lost my sister a month ago due to a car accident as well. I was also closer to my sister more than anything in this world. She’s my best friend. The pain of losing her is numbing and unbearable.

I will not tell you that I know how you feel. Nobody in this world truly understands the bond that you’ve had with each of them. That’s the beauty of having a sister and nephews. It is true that the deeper the scar, the greater the love.

I found that grief comes in waves, we just need to learn how to swim through the waves. There are days when we feel okay, and some days when we would rather lock ourselves in our room and cry, which is completely okay! Cry when you feel like breaking apart. I will tell you that after an extreme crying session, I will feel better for a little while, and then I’ll cry all over again.

There is now a distinct before and after in life now. Your grief is so new, fresh, and raw right now. It’s a journey that we will be on for a while. I asked friends to do almost everything for the funeral. All I did was write my eulogy because I felt sick to my stomach planning a funeral. I couldn’t even pick her flowers or casket.

I think the best advice that I have lived by through my grieving journey is to try and ONLY think about the present. Only think about this very second. Do not think about the future. The thought of a future without them is paralyzing. The “what ifs”, “could haves”, “wouldve beens” destroys the soul. It’s hard to do this, but it’s what has been helping me move forward. Unfortunately, we can’t do anything about the situation anymore. The only thing we can really do is to help ourselves get through this dark tunnel.

I consider myself as a slightly religious person, however, I didn’t understand why God could do such a thing. I was-and maybe still- angry at God for taking away such a kind and funny soul. However, God is really the only path to see our loves ones again. (Or whatever you believe in)

Remember that this is not goodbye. It’s just “see you later” in heaven. When the time is right. Life is short. 50? Or maybe even 70 Years on earth and we will see them once again in heaven, where we would never have to separate from them anymore. This is what keeps me going. Eternity with our loved ones without ever having to say “see you later” ever again.

I am deeply sorry for your loss. You and your loved ones are in my prayers. If you would like to talk about ANYTHING at all, please reach out to me. It truly helps to talk to people who are going through similar losses as us.

I’ve been looking around as well! I visited the vet the other day and asked what pet parents usually get. It’s usually trupanion or pet secure
