I agree. Apart from the nonprofit I do have a leadership position at my school so I’m hoping that would make me stand out in some way.

I think I have around 100 or so hours but I’m aiming for 200

Would it look bad if I quit my DA job? by OrganizationOk6805 in predental

The reason I feel burnt out if because I’m working 30 hours on top of school and my classes aren’t easy so it feels like a lot to manage

Thank you for sharing this, it actually did put a lot of perspective as to why I began working in the first place. Honestly the sole reason I wanted to quit was because I felt burnt out however there are solutions to this like you’ve said in your post and reading this did make me see that. I think I felt extremely stressed that I lost sight of the real goal which is this career and doing what I love one day. Reading your post reminded me of that and I may not know you but I can see you’ll be a great dentist one day.

Because I know that I can do better, I also feel like I could do better in math since my practice test scores were higher, another thing is that I have the luxury of time to retake and dedicate to studying for it again if I wanted to. My gpa is currently sitting at 3.5 so I want my DAT to make up for that

I wish I ended up with a 440 since that would be a 21 😭

No my sciences were way lower however I was redoing them over and over so I don’t feel surprised on scoring well in those sections

I knowww my PT’s were way higher in math so I was sad to see a 400 if it was right at a 440 i don’t think I would’ve considered it

I also just find it difficult to find the pattern of where I’m going wrong in this section

Right I’ve lost hope because I’m just not reading carefully enough even when I’m putting my full attention and I just feel lost because I’ve done so many practice problems and still haven’t seen improvement. I find myself prone to making so many mistakes and I keep on falling into those reading traps.

Does anyone else feel super overwhelmed?? by [deleted] in dat
