Thank you so much for your information on the DAT Test Prep. I still have a ways to go. I am working on my bachelors right now but am leaning toward practicing and getting those kinda problems in my head. Ive never been that great of a TEST taker… 19ACT composite. So not sure how the ACT will go although I am an A student in college… so we will just have to see.

But thanks for the great leads on information. I will keep in touch with you.

Thanks,

David

Just relax a little bit man. No need to stress about it too much. If you are not taking the DAT any time soon, just make sure you have your GPAs up. That way, you will have a solid GPA and be more prepared for the DAT so you don’t have to study as much. If you have the passion, you will get into a dental school somehow.

Wow, listening to all this makes a bbit nervous, but mostly anxious. I am not one that has always had the highest g.p.a. but I pick up on things fairly well and test well. If I can manage to pull a 3.5 and do well on the DAT with several hours of shadowing and community service along with good recommendations what do you think my chances are of getting into a dental school and later specialty? Mind you I really want this and I am one of those types that works hard for what I want, I am my biggest critic!

Thanks for the shoutout.

Anyway, I totally agree about what you said. Looks like you are from california like me. definately, stay in california if you can. I currently go to one of the ivys, i think cali is better than where i am at in every aspect.

i feel the same way about ucla and ucsf. if i had gotten into either of them, i would’ve gone there in a heartbeat.

thanks, i gave you a shoutout on sdn in my thread…try to get some more peeps to visit the site. and yea i really dont care where i get in as long as its in cali. i might rank loma linda over usc b/c i dont know if i can afford usc (altho i still applied). if i can get into ucla or ucsf i would surely be the happiest person in the world that day.

your QR and RC is a bit weak, but I think you have a solid shot at any school in california assuming your other stats are solid (ECs, research, etc..). If you don’t mind particular location in cali, my list would be:
1. UCLA
2. UCSF
3. UOP
4. USC
I don’t really know about loma linda and the western dental school. i suggest you follow that list esp. if you want to get into specialty program later.

Good job btw.

I used DAT DESTROYER. It was very good prep for my test.

thank you very much acedat. Have you ever tried Science questions of Cracker? Do you recommend it?
I did all TopScore ’s Bio section and I got 19, 21 and 17, for Kaplans 17, 17. I am really confuse and think that I really need more practice on Biology section.
