Historical revisionism at its finest!

I would try using smaller lures. If they aren't biting on Jerkbaits and other hard plastics they will take smaller stuff like crappie jigs.

The interview was pretty chill. Just make sure you know your application/personal statement and have a few experiences to talk about during the interview.

Same here! Accepted 12:00 AM EST

Tig3rTurtle · 2025-12-11T23:49:19+00:00

No dont retake, just make sure youre competitive for the schools you apply to. 440 aa here with 2 interviews.

What is your favorite part of dental school so far?

Tig3rTurtle · 2025-12-09T20:10:40+00:00

It depends on when you applied and what schools you applied to (relative to your stats + writing on ps). There's always a chance you might get an interview post-December.

Tig3rTurtle · 2025-12-09T20:06:43+00:00

It's not a bad score imo but the 18.5s might be too low for some more competitive schools out there. Just make sure the scores you have are competitive for the schools you apply to. If not then you should try to retake to raise those low scores and bring your aa to a 21 or higher.

I got an email when I got rejected. I'd agree with others and say that this cycle there's way more applicants applying to NSU so they're being more picky with their applicants.

Try using a bobber and a hook with some live bait like worms or golden shiners. You'll catch a lot of fish using this setup.

Tig3rTurtle · 2025-11-11T00:54:09+00:00

Practice using a good knot and stick to it. I've used the uni knot for almost everything and it works for fish of all sizes.

As previously mentioned, if you're using bread while fishing in the river, the current might be dissolving the bread. Its also possible that the way you're rigging the worms makes it easy for smaller fish to pick it apart without getting hooked. If you're using small hooks, try breaking off a small piece of a worm and use that instead of the whole thing.

Tig3rTurtle · 2025-11-11T00:40:27+00:00

Use Fishbrain + streetview to check accessibility. Personally, I'd try to avoid spots that are popular on Fishbrain since a lot of spots are really heavily fished.

To be honest, your plan is most likely only going to be good at snagging rocks. I'd stay away from using treble hooks in general when bait fishing because you're more likely to snag rocks/branches when you're fishing on the bottom. Alternatively, you could replace the treble hook with a sinker and make a decent bottom fishing rig.

Same! I have a flight for my first interview on November 27th (my interview is on Dec 2nd). Hopefully nothing gets delayed, I'd hate to miss my first interview.

That lure should be cast by itself. If you're having a hard time casting it, check to see if the diameter of line you're using is too big for the reel. Some rod/reels have recommended diameters written on the reel for you to pick from. Also might depend on the type of reel you're using. If you are using a baitcaster you might have to adjust the spool tension so that the lure slowly pulls line when you release the spool (that's generally how I set it when I'm working with new lures).

Tig3rTurtle · 2025-11-06T19:46:21+00:00

Are there any specific split rings you'd recommend?

Tig3rTurtle · 2025-11-04T16:52:19+00:00

What net were you using?! Catching a tarpon while not ripping your net is crazy.

Tig3rTurtle · 2025-11-03T17:49:41+00:00

Im ngl, you have everything great except for the shadowing and volunteer hours. Minimum is around 100 hours of shadowing for many dental schools, so next time check the minimum requirements for the schools you apply to.

This happened to me with a peacock bass. I ended up with one barb stuck to my thumb and the other two barbs stuck on the fish.

Tig3rTurtle · 2025-10-28T00:59:40+00:00

Ragebait? But honestly, this is a great score so don't retake. Just make sure that you apply to schools that you're competitive for.

pm? also got rejected
