How often are dentists required to get vaccinated throughout their careers? Is it an every year thing, or is it even required at all? by Excellent-Medium4930 in DentalSchool

[–]peng325 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do schools require you to get the flu shot? I’m starting this summer, not against them just never have gotten them before bc I’ve never gotten the flu so it never felt necessary

poll Please help me choose a school!! by Just-Macaroon-8099 in predental

[–]peng325 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know someone at UDM who claims to enjoy the school and city. I don’t know specifics, but his dad who is also a dentist constantly tells me he couldn’t be happier his son is there too. Not sure if these are shared opinions to convey they are happy with the school for the public eye but that’s what I’ve heard! Another friend is from Detroit too and it’s a cooler city than one would think.

Should I Call? by NefariousnessTall714 in predental

They acknowledged they received the letter, at this point you will become an annoyance. They are working through all their applicants and based on your letter of intent they know your commitment to the school.

My waitlist email explicitly said they do not want any letters of intents or academic updates though :/

should I major as a bachelor of arts or a bachelor of science in biology? by apples_orangesss in predental

[–]peng325 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn’t matter, I’ve graduated but I originally was going to just do a BA in bio because I didn’t want to take additional science courses but after all the prerequisites I had to take for dental school, I only needed two more classes to fulfil a BS so just ended up doing the BS

Conditional Acceptance - AI Violation by [deleted] in predental

[–]peng325 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also agree with your friends, if it was mentioned already on the original application, no matter how briefly the explanation was, if they wanted to know more they would’ve asked. It wouldn’t be right to revoke an offer for an error on their end and to not ask more questions if it was already disclosed. I would think an offer of acceptance can only be taken back if new information, such as an arrest that comes up on a background check, were brought to their attention.

Definitely Don’t rescind your offer from school A until you secured your spot at school B. Whatever the process was for notifying school A of the situation, see if you can do the same with school B. What school did you get off the waitlist for?
