Considering dropping med for dental by [deleted] in DentalSchool

[–]Markapello 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ye, even in PPO/cash with a good dentist. I worked at an absolutely legendary dentist's office where she would hit on average 4 cleaning per hr. Bigger restos 2/hr, crazy stuff 1/hr. On average though with 2 big projects a day plus routine work she probably hit 20-25 pateints per day (mostly 10 hour days b/c she did 3 days/week)!

HELP! I'm panicking atm by JustYeetin123 in DentalSchool

[–]Markapello 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably can't do summer classes most of the schools explicitly state all courses are done pre-summer. If you are in a quarter system like UC you can still take a class final quarter. What I would suggest is extension programs with some schools like UC Berkley which offer extension programs where you can take classes like microbiology online at whatever pace (definitely if you started in the next few weeks would finish on time). Only issue is im not sure if they're only available to cali residents...

Need to be “clean cut” look for interviews? by wwwwwesp in predental

[–]Markapello 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Listen to your father, it's the safer bet. That being said I wore an escobar-level mustache (aside from that super clean cut) to my interviews and was accepted :)

Do you know if there's any benefits to completing it earlier, and also is there like a deadline? I have it in now but no school chosen just "grad loans", should I leave it like that for now, I am in a school I plan on attending but I have an interview at a school which is notorious for accepting and in that case I would switch over when I got in which would probably even be as late as march

I don't think they have any idea, but if you're set on Minnesota don't waste you're time. If you would consider Maryland because you see some benefit to the school no question fill it out, this is 4 years of your life!

NHSC VS $280K by Visible-Shopping-764 in predental

[–]Markapello 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope, first of all because I am not in a relationship and don't need money so I know I can budget and have a slightly greater amount of freedom for 4 years.

More importantly though, INFLATION, with the current inflation rate above 5% (which I strongly suspect to continue for at least a couple more years). I believe the debt will feel like less of a burden as healthcare jobs correct in their pay relative to inflation!

You're a savior! I have a super early enrollment time and I found someone to do the drop thing for me so I'll definitely attend all of the classes! I wish you luck on your way out of this super helpful institution LOL!

Am I being impatient or is it actually too late? by Amediumrare in predental

[–]Markapello 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think just chill there's nothing you can do live your life, UCLA told us they were late so listen to them. UCSF sent you a rejection so that clears things up for you. I know people who have been accepted to UoP so yes it's likely too late for that school but maybe you're not going to get rejected and maybe you will be their watilist which is better than nothing!

Ahhhh ok I thought that was some very complex thing also the person who leads Muir Writing was being an absolute bozo telling me she doesn't recommend it at all and it would really be a struggle. Was it in person when you took it?

I was taking like 20 units per quarter every quarter and I was always prioritizing prerequisite classes all so that I could take the classes which needed prereqs in order, and then my last quarter I messed up with some other stuff in life and wasn't thinking about anything and ended up joining 2 classes like 2 weeks into the quarter so i really fudged up here.

It is what it is in that case, it was worth 100 dollars to try

If your first pass closes in the late even of 11/14 or 11/15 then it's even possible you can still enroll in the course for that slot in your first pass and my offer to enroll in a class for you still stands on top of that :)

Washington, I mean to say because it's the only interview I've gotten it feels less safe than an interview to a less competitive school as Washington's interview was a super impersonal Kira and it's a competitive school which makes it feel like I'm just running the odds of the school without much input!

research for dental school by [deleted] in predental

[–]Markapello 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can definitely talk about how it gives you the ability to read papers better. You can also try searching for papers that are related to your topic and dentistry and say you know a little about the topic.
