Hello, i am currently a predental student and processing my dental school application. I did ok overall but my PAT section score was really low. Dont know what happened as i had significantly improved weeks before the test.

I believe i have every other requirement that would give me a competitive edge but am worried about my PAT score.

Would you suggest i retake the test? Somebody please reply... thanks

Vsm48,

I am currently a first year Pediatric Dental Resident at Virginia Commonwealth University (formerly MCV). To answer your question, in undergrad I took a plethora of courses that significantly contributed to my academic courseload while in dental school. I took Molecular Biology, Anatomy & Physiology, Immunology, Endocrinology, and Parasitology along with the Biology, Genetics, and Chemistry required courses. All of my advance electives definitely gave me an advantage in dental courses such as Biochemistry, Anatomy, Physiology, Pharmacology, and Pathology - which are usually taken during either the first or second year or during both years.

Good luck and feel free to post any questions you may have.

-L. Foster, DDS

Is anyone specializing? I was thinking about Pediactric Dentistry. Also, besides the requirements listed on the Howard University College of Dentistry website, what are some other classes that you guys took?

Thanks for making a channel for prospective Dental students. Your stories are inspiring. I plan on attending Dental school within two years. Recently, I've been admitted into the University of Florida majoring in Nutritional Science. Does Howard University have any summer programs for future Dental students?
