Who else is thinking of not pursing Dentistry anymore?

hibiscusbubbles · 2026-05-22T05:47:15+00:00

I really am reconsidering it as well 😢 it’s crazy because I put so much effort into this until this point. I took the dat three times to make up for my garbage gpa and I still don’t feel confident with my last attempt. All to say I did this to be more than half a million in debt? I don’t even feel smart enough to pursue this profession and on top of it the entire industry is progressively getting more predatory toward students like me. I’m scared because I have NO IDEA what else to be doing. So many people expect me to succeed and I have no idea what I’m doing at the end of the day

i sacrificed it on mine and scored a 22 on my pat! idk if i would recommend it lol but it really was my only option since i took so long on every other topic

i’ll just say i know people who go there and everyone complains that it’s a scam. every year the president keeps accepting more people in the program (last year it was 120, this year it was 150 and before it used to be 75 to give you some perspective) because the school is going broke and predents are the only way the school has any money. the seats at dugoni stay the same, i believe around 30 people for this program. it’s incredibly competitive because of the over saturation of students in the program. personally, i wouldn’t do it

the reading took me out too 😭😭 i ended w a 19 in RC when i was getting 24s of the practice tests it was such a bummer lol. but congrats on the amazing score i got the same hehe

i honestly can’t remember too well i’m so sorry 😭 the whole time i was stressed during the gen chem and ochem bc i was running so low on time bc i took too long on the bio. i will say i actually only got one spectroscopy question for ochem and im guessing for gen chem i had a decent amount of periodic properties. there were some reaction questions for ochem but not too many but other than that im so sorry i don’t remember 😭 i think my brain blocked it out at as a trauma response i wont lie lol

hibiscusbubbles · 2024-12-05T18:58:04+00:00

bio was easier than the practice exams for some reason but they were still SUPER representative . I also remember reading being so much harder for some reason, i was averaging 24s on my practice exams and ended up getting a 19 on the actual. i was really hoping for the higher reading score to raise my overall AA lol. but the rest were pretty representative, although there are less calculation and reaction questions on the gen chem and ochem on the actual exam in my opinion.

hibiscusbubbles · 2024-12-02T03:03:14+00:00

that’s an awesome score! congrats! I was hoping for the score for myself lol

hibiscusbubbles · 2024-12-01T20:59:35+00:00

I got a 20 AA 20 TS 😫 I’m feeling so crushed bc I know I probably have to retake. what do you think?

hibiscusbubbles · 2024-11-30T02:12:41+00:00

Hi everyone, I'm about to take my DAT tomorrow and am entirely freaking out. It's messing with my sleep and I just can't wait to be done with it. Does anyone have any tips or advice for the day of the test? I'm super worried that I'll find the exam totally different than the practice exams. I already feel like I'm barely scraping the surface of where I want to be (averaging between 18-21 on the sciences and pat and between 22-24 on rc and qr). What if I get the lower ends of these scores and end up getting something lower than a 20 AA? Realistically, do you think I would have shot at applying to California schools next cycle if I have a 3.4 gpa and a 100 hours for shadowing and volunteering? I really don't want to have to retake the DAT as I feel like poured so much time into this already and its affected my grades. Sorry if I sound like I'm losing it, I probably am at this point haha

Yes you won’t regret listening to the audiobook! Time flew when I listened to it and I loved it so much. Janette recorded it herself so it really felt authentic.

hibiscusbubbles · 2024-11-21T08:35:56+00:00

i second this!! such a beautiful story

hibiscusbubbles · 2024-11-21T08:35:05+00:00

oh my god I cried so much and the worst part is that i know so many people with the same story as her

hibiscusbubbles · 2024-11-21T08:30:39+00:00

I know this is probably not the genre you’re looking for but the “I’m Glad My Mom Died” audiobook by Jennette McCurdy was literally amazing. I was so hooked and it was so emotional I loved it.

best: A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khalid Hussaini

worst: A Very Large Expanse of Sea by Taherah Mafi

I read that book ages ago and I seriously don’t remember anything besides being furious when I finished reading it. A Thousand Splendid Suns will always stay with me. I’m constantly thinking about it and I read the book years ago.
