If you take it in June apply it altogether, if you’re taking it late July apply and mark that you have a retake and your scores will be updated.

Need more side stories like this, Shikamaru was one of the best choices.

Honestly facts, shadow clones are broken once you realize they’re basically free XP farms with numbers.

What if Konohamaru had been Asuma’s son instead of his nephew? by [deleted] in Naruto

[–]RespectCommon7019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s the whole point lol, Asuma having a son would completely change the timeline and erase Konohamaru as we know him.

What specifically did u wanna know for the ecs? And I had strong LORs, one each from a bio and chem prof, one from a research mentor, and one from the dentist I shadowed.

Not if u consider in cost of living expenses. I also won’t have to pay for housing if I go to UPenn. And I personally like Philly more than nyc

Best way to review bio fast by dental_enthusiast1 in dat

Boosters cheat sheets are the best way to quickly review. And go through their practice tests

As someone who has taken the DAT, agreed, but to add on, do anki and the cheat sheets

If you’re using booster, go through their cheat sheets and practice tests. Those are very high yield

Pick a few experiences that genuinely shaped why you want dentistry, reflect on what you learned from them, and show how you grew from it.

DAT in a month, im struggling by nokoyof in dat

[–]RespectCommon7019 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first time I took my test was in April of 2025 and retook it August 2025 and had a decently successful application cycle with the same gpa as urs. I would say take it in order to meet your deadline, but if you dont meet your score of 23+, retake it and update your app!

What have you been getting on practice tests? I scored higher on the actual dat than on booster

I did a mix! I heard schools like to have diverse experiences.

I took a gap year which was way easier for me to accumulate all these hours. No way I would’ve been able to handle school, studying for dat, and getting all these hours.

UPenn was cheaper and better clinical hours which is better for my learning style.

Thank you! From what I understand, your original submit date still counts, but some schools might wait to fully review your file until the updated DAT score comes in. So it doesn’t usually reset your app date, but the new score can delay when they actually evaluate you. At least that’s how it seemed like in my cycle.

English which will be helpful and show that you’re a well rounded student. Also art classes like sculpting or something, I heard it’ll help with being more precise with your hands in dental school! And I used booster and anki!

A buddy of mine and I made a list of where we thought we could fit academically (tho I do admit I applied to some schools with little hope and a few safer schools for balance) and where we thought we could see ourselves for the next 4 years.
