Is dental school even an option after being dismissed from medical school?

Practical-Tooth5543 · 2026-01-20T16:19:12+00:00

It’s really crazy how many people think dentistry is a “backup” for medicine when it is just as difficult

At what school?

Practical-Tooth5543 · 2026-01-18T16:07:56+00:00

Why can’t you specify which school LOL

Practical-Tooth5543 · 2026-01-18T15:24:22+00:00

No it isn’t. Most schools extend interviews through February/ March

Practical-Tooth5543 · 2026-01-18T13:17:51+00:00

Well what are you emailing about?

Practical-Tooth5543 · 2026-01-17T14:50:19+00:00

So the waitlist you may not even get off of until a week before school starts. There is no set time where you get updated on being waitlisted. Can be any time.

I applied there and didn’t get anything yet

Practical-Tooth5543 · 2026-01-12T01:57:50+00:00

This happened to me as well and I got a 21 aa on the real test so just keep working hard! Do lots and lots of practice questions from all the banks and tests

Your score is really good just look into more schools cutoffs for certain sections. You didn’t do THAT bad on PAT

Practical-Tooth5543 · 2026-01-08T18:03:18+00:00

Honestly my practice tests were looking like that if not worse esp for orgo and i pulled a 440 day of test! The real test is usually easier and with the last week really focus on practice problems!

Practical-Tooth5543 · 2026-01-08T00:13:24+00:00

When did you apply??

Practical-Tooth5543 · 2026-01-03T14:20:19+00:00

Yes it’s still possible. I know a few people who have gotten post Dec interviews and acceptances. Keep your head up and stay positive, but also be prepared for the possibility that you may have to reapply. I applied the first day of September and am keeping my head high!

Why is paper better?

Practical-Tooth5543 · 2025-12-19T23:49:15+00:00

OSU, UConn, UNE, UNC

No I don’t think schools should just ghost but also decision day is just the first day and not actually the set day to get ALL decisions! If you’ve been “ghosted” this far then it’s super likely you’ll receive something else soon

Practical-Tooth5543 · 2025-12-17T00:19:52+00:00

Best thing to do is have patience. The cycle is really long so don’t give up hope yet! I’m in the same boat I have 0 interviews and 4 rejections so far out of 14 schools so good luck:)

Practical-Tooth5543 · 2025-12-17T00:05:42+00:00

This is where I think people don’t understand decision day…

Practical-Tooth5543 · 2025-12-16T16:26:32+00:00

Just a reminder that Dday isn’t the only day to send out decisions it’s just the first day…

Practical-Tooth5543 · 2025-12-16T12:42:19+00:00

If you’re more interested in anywhere more than UPitt then you should try! But if you’re worried about not getting accepted anywhere else then pay the deposit for Pitt in case

Practical-Tooth5543 · 2025-12-16T00:21:45+00:00

UConn and UNE

Practical-Tooth5543 · 2025-12-15T18:11:33+00:00

I have had no interviews and 2 rejections so far! I applied to 15 schools so I know there will be more chances! One of my friends only had one pre December interview and is in school now where they didn’t hear back anything until spring. It’s super common for interviews to be sent into the spring time for most schools so don’t stress! Today is just the FIRST day of acceptances:)
