I am 31 with BS in dental hygiene, I have been interested in reapplying to dental school but since I have started a family I feel it maybe alittle harder now. I applied in 2001 to my alma mata (was not married then nor did I have a child) got an interview and got wait listed because I scored 16 on DAT ( at the time I just walked in and took it w/o any preperation which was stupid) I honestly do not think I could pull that again since i have been away from school for 6 years. I am working about 64hrs a week making excellent money but at the end of the day I feel something is missing. I feel that I should be doing more. dont get me wrong dental hygiene is great but at some points it could be frustrating since your hands are tied down, eventhough you have the appropriate education and experience to do much more.
do you think I should keep working and save as much as I can so I can go through dental school without any debt , or do not waist time and apply next cycle after I work on improving my DAT score.
