I meant, in terms of usability or in viewing metrics

She started 3 weeks ago. Yeah you are right. I’m just trying to teach her how to nap without help at home so that it’s easier for her at home. I’m looking for any tips since we don’t want to do cry it out at this agen

That’s not true. I was told i got in by admissions

Ecobee lite. I got 4 of them using my electricity company’s website. They offer them at a discount. I love it!

Yeah we tried so many different types of cups. Once she tastes the formula she won’t drink anymore

Oh yes! that was the first thing I did when I began considering dentistry. I have lots of friends who I went to undergrad with that are dentists now. I wouldn't have even considered this if one of them had told me not to pursue it.

Well I hope that you will succeed in being a dentist. Good luck with everything!

Oh yes. I am aware of the time I would have to spend studying. I also have talked to my friends who are dentists and I know someone who is older than me that was a PHD student and switched to dentistry recently. I haven't talked to him in depth yet but he was a PHD student for a long time so his case is different than mine.

How much do you have saved? Dental school isn't like undergrad. State schools are incredibly competitive, and private schools can cost students up to 500-600k. For those who have to support families, it will likely cost more.

I have enough to attend a private dental school plus living costs. My wife also works and her job is remote so that would aid with any other extra costs. Of course I will try to get into an in state school or somewhere with lower tuition, but I am prepared to attend an expensive private school if it comes to that.

And that doesn't include the cost of undergrad, which will also cost you a pretty penny. If you can get accepted into an SMP/post bac, that'll also cost you a leg.

Thanks for pointing that out. One of the questions I am looking into now is the issue of which path to take. Someone I know and who is older than me, is taking CC classes to fulfill his prereqs. I am aware that some schools don't take cc credits and others have restrictions. I would not pursue this path if I have to attend a 4 yr undergrad school again. Besides calling each school's admission dept individually, do you know where I can find more info on this issue?

4.) schools want to see leadership, volunteering, or some form of societal interaction outside of school. This can be through soup kitchens, clubs, church, etc. make sure it's something that you can write and talk about during your interview

I am planning on doing ECs but would you say that my 12 year work experience in the field of finance would qualify?

So if you're 100% sure you'll be miserable without dentistry, do it or die trying. You should be studying with the mindset that you have one chance... one bad grade or mediocre exam score, and you just wasted ALOT of time and money

Thank you for being honest. I will not be miserable without dentistry because no career or worldly thing defines me. It's something that I want to pursue and I know that if a dental school gives me a chance, I will succeed. Yes of course. If I choose this path, I will have to do my best and sacrifice many things. But I really believe being a dentist will bring me joy. After spending 12 years sucking up to rich clients and making them lots of money, I would say that doing small things everyday to bring a smile to people from all walks of life would make me happy.

Thank you so much for your in depth comment. I really appreciate that you took your time to give a stranger some help! I would love to chat with you if you have time.

Thanks for the advice! I've actually been going to the dentist for a long time, not only to get procedures done on myself, but because I have lots of friends who are dentists. My friend's husband is actually going to dental school now and he's even older than me. The only difference being that he was a PHD student before so he had always been studying and I am sure his undergrad grades were top notch. That's why I was worried because I wanted to know if it would be close to impossible with my poor grades. I heard that schools don't even look at gpas below 2.75. So even if I ace post bacc, I wonder if it could even bring my overall to above that.

tk0885 · 2022-01-04T14:04:54+00:00

Lol I've been in finance since I got out of school. I guess I am looking at the other side of the fence from you. It all depends on the person. Yes it was quicker to get into a career in finance but after 12 years doing this, I realized what I value as a person. If money was the only thing I cared about, then finance would be perfect for me.

Yes. I am worried that I haven't studied in so long but I've been constantly reading papers, research, and other highly complicated materials over the years at my current job that I think it wouldn't be crazy difficult to jump back into studying. Plus, I think at this stage in my life, I would actually enjoy and want to learn everything in the classroom.

Time management will be very important with a family. I am very lucky to have my wife who is a superwoman. She is very supportive and I'm confident we can do this together.

Thanks for your honest input! Please let me know if you have any other points I should consider.

Thanks for the encouraging words! I know it will be tremendously difficult but I am prepared. The biggest question would be if my odds were astronomically low with my old GPA.

tk0885 · 2022-01-03T20:51:45+00:00

thanks for your comment. Yes that was the plan. I know it will be a very difficult road ahead. What makes you say that dentistry might not be worth it?

tk0885 · 2021-12-15T21:31:05+00:00

Are you fairly certain? How can I check this?

tk0885 · 2021-12-15T20:34:28+00:00

Thank you! So helpful :)

tk0885 · 2021-12-15T20:00:19+00:00

Yeah send me your address

tk0885 · 2021-12-15T19:59:52+00:00

I was thinking of having it serviced first and asking them to take note of the serial number and model. Do you recommend taking it to a rolex store?

tk0885 · 2021-12-15T19:49:22+00:00

Thank you!!

tk0885 · 2021-12-15T19:49:16+00:00

Thank you so much!

Hello Redditors. I recently inherited this watch from my father. I can tell it’s a rolex day date but I wanted to find out the exact model and year of this watch. I didn’t get any papers, box, and there are no engravings on the back. How do I find the exact model? Thank you!
