Preparing for Dental School - Extracurriculars and DAT

[AllEyesOnMi23]

first off, thanks so much for making these videos! second, do you have any suggestions for someone who has a bachelor's degree in Biology and some clinical experience but would like to get their GPA and DAT scores up? Do you think doing a Medical Science Masters program would be worthwhile? or do you think it would it be better to go ahead and apply & see what happens?

@AllEyesOnMi23 Thank you :) And I think if you feel like you're a strong candidate, apply. If you don't feel like you're a strong candidate, do a masters. It's really up to you. Good luck.

Is DAT easier than MCAT?

[linhphandds]

@123MMHS Sorry, I don't know. I didn't take the MCAT.

LOL @5:38. That sooo sounds like my house at dinner time LOL!!

[Godslilgirl092]

How long after did the dental school reply to you after sending your application? And would you recommend this dental school? Is it true NYU is like made up of large classes?

[Beauxsky]

I'm trying to decide what kind of math classes to take,

what was your last math class before the DAT? Do you feel like you were prepared enough for the DAT?

I know I'm going to take Calculus, but I'm unsure of whether I should take a Survey Calc or a two semester Calculus.

[linhphandds]

@Beauxsky To be honest, the last math class I took was in high school. I took AP Calculus and passed the test and got college credit for it, so I didn't take math in college.  I did take the Kaplan DAT course to help me study for the DAT.

@linhphandds Right all that is required is Calculus for Dental school, Taking Caculus 2 is waste of time unless your BS major requires it what i suggest is just Study calculus indepth for the DAT

Thanks for posting this video--as someone who's switching career directions (in other words, a complete newbie), I really appreciate this candid, yet comprehensive videolog that you've done to demystify the process. :)

[cubanaestrella]

how hard is the DAT? what number do you have to get to get into NYUCD? what did you get on it?

[deasweetie]

How many timesdid you take the DAT? How long did you study for it?

[linhphandds]

@deasweetie Hi, I only took the DAT once. And it is recommended that you study at least 300 hours for it (not including class time, like if you take Kaplan).

[subtilreaction]

@linhphandds yeah.. i totally didn't do the full 300 O_O

[NervousToeNailBiter]
