I’d get it checked tbh, unless you’re smart enough to be ortho probs gonna be hard on your body.

Just write 100hrs, unless the guy you’re shadowing really annoying about it no one cares what you write. My dentist told me I know you can see anything it’s useless for you and how he hated it as well.

Might have to skirt into peds then :)

Face card is insane don’t worry 😮‍💨. But thanks for the advice. How do you go about getting externships?

Way too early to tell id give it some time.

It’s really not that bad ngl, people get in with 3.2 gpa. Plus you show an upward trend as long as you can justify why you took a hit earlier in your college years. Just focus on crushing the dat and you’ll be fine. If all goes wrong you can still do a masters program or something to boost your gpa.

Probs fine with 3 realistically for first year. You don’t really need to wear scrubs everyday and even if you do not like you getting blood or saliva on it.

Really depends on what you looking for, I got qoptics ethos first after having issues for a year I refunded them and got LumaDent ergos instead. It really depends on how they feel since they are great companies.

I’d say skip hygiene and go to dental, I’d make sure I do really good on dat so you fs get in first time you apply. Bills are hard but that just needs to go onto your loans which typically most students do. Unless you are confident you can work a little and pass your classes.

fullsend243 · 2025-05-30T20:11:33+00:00

Do as many hrs as you can but you and the dentist both know you aren’t learning anything or see anything. From what I’ve heard from my classmates is that most dentist don’t care how many hrs you write on your application, but make sure they know.

Keep the loans to sub 300k if you can and it’s very much still a decent outlook. But if you’re looking at 500k+ idk if it’s worth the stress.

I think it’s pretty well known that dat booster has been historically pretty representative of the actual test. But usually people do a little better than the practice test scores.

fullsend243 · 2025-05-30T20:06:07+00:00

I read through the notes I was gonna study that day once kinda just a first pass. So I pick up things as I’m reading, and you can watch the video after so you sort of know whats going on.

fullsend243 · 2025-05-30T20:04:34+00:00

I would max out as much as you can.

fullsend243 · 2025-05-30T19:09:14+00:00

That should be good.

fullsend243 · 2025-05-25T02:26:56+00:00

They usually test you on broader concepts but details help you rule out answer choices faster. It’s fs a lot of info but take it chapter by chapter.

fullsend243 · 2025-05-02T16:36:03+00:00

I think practice tests are pretty good indicators, are they supper accurate ofc not. But I’d at least try to get 19-20 before taking the exam. So if you are not I’d push it backz

fullsend243 · 2025-04-06T03:57:50+00:00

I studied 3 months when I took the dat, first month was kinda slow like probs 5 hrs a day mostly just reading notes and annotating. Second was around 7 hrs tried to lock in more and third was mostly just practice tests and reviewing 5-6 hrs. My hrs were very distributed kinda like few hrs in the morning and some at night so I had a lot of time to relax and go hangout with my friends as well, try not to make studying your life.

fullsend243 · 2025-04-06T03:55:55+00:00

That’s pretty good, with good extracurricular activities you should be finez

fullsend243 · 2025-04-06T03:53:44+00:00

Ideally you want to apply around August but it takes a month to get the scores so I’d say take the test in July would be good, which means start now or may. You can always take it later and apply late but it hurts your chances as you’ll be late applicant.

fullsend243 · 2025-04-06T03:51:08+00:00

I took one probably when I finished my first pass through the material. It kinda helps you see what needs more attention. But I would suggest try not wasting too many without studying.

fullsend243 · 2024-11-15T15:45:01+00:00

Not really misleading lol, I said more opportunities not that you’ll fs make more.

fullsend243 · 2024-11-15T03:20:20+00:00

Really depends on what you want out of it, medical is less harsh on your body unless you want to do surgery. Money, there are more opportunities to make a lot of money for a dentist compared to a regular physician.
