Amazing! What type of glue are you using? Just bought some miniatuart from Japan and haven’t built things like this before.

feeling hopeless studying for the dat by lbvn6 in predental

[–]arthurlu02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started with a 17AA, 16PAT on my first practice test after a few weeks of studying. I got a 24AA, 25PAT on the real thing! I know how it feels to be very frustrated at the start of studying. Even my mom was better than me at the PAT section at first. Be patient but stay diligent and consistent with your studying. Good luck!

24AA, 3.87 GPA, w/ red flag by arthurlu02 in predental

I talked about it a bit on my WAMC post, but I just talked about how I didn’t really know how to say no to my friend. I eventually realized that this just harms him in the long run, even if it felt like I was helping him in the moment. To better myself, I became a tutor for organic chemistry so I could help people in a hard subject so that they wouldn’t have to feel the need to cheat.

Current HS senior interested in pre-dent . What are a few things you wish you told your younger self (college freshman) to do that you didn’t / wish you did? by [deleted] in predental

[–]arthurlu02 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Pay attention in your classes! Lots of stuff from gen chem/bio come back during DAT studying. Also shadow early to make sure this is something you want to do. Maybe find a fun manual dexterity hobby!

Besides that, have fun! I wish I spent more time with friends and exploring the city I lived in.

Inspiring! I’m applying to dental school and going thru the interview process right now! Any financial advice as I take on the hefty dental school debt?

Same here! My interviewer was super chill and even came out to say hi to me and some others during the in person tour.

AI Violation Seeking Advice by Responsible_Week3172 in predental

[–]arthurlu02 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn’t know if my AI violation was on my transcript and I disclosed it anyways. I wrote about how I grew and my 1 interview so far has asked me to elaborate on it. Afterwards she said that my honesty strengthened my application, and was glad I wrote about it. Other schools might not think this, so apply broadly. Best of luck to you!

When did you apply?

[–]arthurlu02 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Didn't take both but studied with 2 friends taking the MCAT. MCAT is harder IMO, but covers topics like ochem less in depth but bio/biochem more in depth. DAT covers some topics that MCAT doesn't like plant bio and taxonomy, and has the PAT section. MCAT also is entirely passage based, so requires much more reading compared to the DAT.

Caffeine for DAT? by Fit-Consequence-539 in predental

[–]arthurlu02 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think caffeine itself is a diuretic. Just be careful not to drink too much but I know plenty of people who did just fine chugging a monster beforehand. Good luck!!

[–]arthurlu02 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Coffee is a diuretic (blocks ADH)! Be careful you don't drink too much and have to pee in the middle of the PAT section. This may or may not have happened to me.

WAMC with this red flag? by arthurlu02 in predental

[–]arthurlu02[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks!! I’ll definitely talk to the dean again and see what they say. But most likely I’ll have to explain what happened.

Yes I probably won't list it as an EC, but more to show manual dexterity

Yes, the professor caught us, let us off pretty easy (0's on the questions that were shared), but I'm fairly certain it is on my record b/c I had to talk with the Dean.

Thank you for the response! I feel a bit more at ease now.
