Hi friends I got accepted yesterday morning. Feeling very fortunate but also a little guilt cause I really wished everyone could get accepted. Everyone has put in a dickton of work and deserves a seat. I have pretty average stats. 3.48 gpa, 3.3sgpa, 20/20/25 DAT. I think my volunteer hours and interview shined the most. I think the turn over rate is decent right now so have hope. I was already prepping to reapply and just got really lucky this cycle.
You should call the admissions office for the correct advice....I'm not 100% sure but it's usually a committee letter if your school offers it. If your school doesn't write committee letters, then you have to get individual letters from science professors that are lecturer from different subjects....in other words get one letter from chem professor and one from bio or some other subject. Make sure you ask the admissions office because it might vary between schools.Congrats!! Did you do a committee letter or individual LOR's? I am a future applicant so I am curious.
I sent individual LORsCongrats!! Did you do a committee letter or individual LOR's? I am a future applicant so I am curious.
I sent individual LORs
I believe they did but I never planned to get one. I think the 3 individual letters is pretty standard and will do just fine :] I was never asked about my letters either.Sweet, did your school have a committee and you just chose not to use them? I am wondering if interviewers will ask me about it if I choose to send individual LOR's over committee. Thank you!
Congrats! do you mind sharing your stats? And i see you questioned about calling the admissions. What did you end up doing?? Again, Congrats!Hi guys. I just got accepted today, I feel very lucky and humble because I believe all of us deserve to get in after all the hard work we've all put into. My phone number is (408)-786-6413. I am looking for people who are willing to share the apartment. Do you guys know how to do the financial aids? Thank you very much, and good luck to everyone.

Hello,
The first time I applied to dental schools i applied with DAT 17 and 2.8 science GPA. overal gpa 3.55 didnt get an interview from any of the 12 schools.
The second time (last cycle) i applied with a DAT of 20, 22 on each science, 16 on math, 3.2 science gpa..overal gpa 3.55. yet no interviews
now I am deciding to reapply without retaking the dat for the third time.. I am just confused why i didnt recieve a single interview on the second time i applied. any advice would help!!
thank you
For those who are planning on attending Touro. Where are you guys living?? I really want to live alone.. but the cannot find an affordable apt.. if anything i'll go look for a roomie
Hi! I applied 15 different dental schools in 15-16 cycle (had 1 interview- not accepted), 13 different dental schools in 16-17 cycle (had 1 interview- not accepted) and 13 different schools in this 17-18 cycle (had 3 interviews - 2 accepted and 1 waitlisted) My recommendation is to contact each individual schools (I know it is a lot but worth it) and ask an admissions officer that which area should you improve such as an extracurricular/volunteer experience, dental shadowing hours, personal statement or/and terrific letters of recommendation from professors/dentists. That is because each school has their own view of choosing ideal candidates. Some schools more look into applicants' GPA over DAT, some schools see DAT (especially on PAT) over GPA or/and some schools really want to know you better by looking at your personal statement. I know it is frustrating and so depressing whenever you get rejection letters from your dream schools, but stay in hope and be positive. I have gotten more than 38 rejection letters in the past 3 years. I also took DAT 3 times in the past (19, 19, and 20) and my overall GPA was 3.47 and sGPA was 3.42. I guess my strong point was I have more than 10000 hours of dental assisting experience (have been working as a dental assistant part/full time since 2011) and I had spent tons of hours preparing interviews and aced them this year. DO NOT lose hope, KEEP TRYING until you get it and always think positive. I wish you all the best

Make sure to leave early enough for class from over there - there could be some traffic
Are lectures recorded?
How many pairs of scrubs do we actually need to order?
Do the sizes run too big/too small/just right?
