"The people that get into school are the ones that don't give up." THANK YOU for this video! I needed to hear this. I'm approaching my last few months of undergrad and my GPA is looking weak. Your video came up on my feed and it was just what I needed. Thank you for sharing your experience. Subscribed! I'm going to binge the rest of your videos during my study breaks haha

This is my third application cycle and every day I beat myself up about not being mature enough to realize the value of focusing on my grades and actively figuring out how I learn best.

[jennyih]

do they care if you passed the RDH dental assistant exam from the first time? + I am studying really hard for DAT ( looking for 18 but also since you have been in my position, what score should I plan to get )

Hi!! Thank you so much for this video i’m taking my DAT in a few weeks and this video really made me motivated to grind it out!
I was wondering where do you attend dental school? I am having a hard to deciding where to apply to

[melika]

Please make that DAT video, I’m really needing it about right now!!

[ZinziJ]

Thank you sm for this! You just gained a subscriber

[TheSweetdiva]

Please do a video on the DATs. I would truly appreciate it, currently taking it in March

[paulscents]

Hey congrats!! thank you for this amazing video. What did you end up getting on the DAT?

[veronicametzler]

Hi! Thank you for the video. Super helpful. Can I ask what you got on the DAT?

[KJ-yout]

3.81 GPA, 19 AA 19 TS, 19 PAT. But I did score a 17 on Bio 😢 Do you recommend retaking my DAT?

[chris_bb]

congrats!! I had applied for this cycle, and I am hoping for the best 😮 i was wondering if you could share tips/advice with your experience in the interview and how you prepared for it!

[Alexander-yssg]

Would you recommend me joining the honors college at my school? I know I’m not going to my first semester but I can always transfer. Or are honors classes not really a major factor in dental school admissions. I think it would be better to maintain a high non honors GPA but I’m unsure.

[danaiosup]

I'm in the same boat as you were! What did you do in your 2 gap years to improve your application?

Do they take the average of your F and the repeat grade?

[samkashani]

DAT is actually a waste of time and money with lots of suffering and suffering and suffering.
