  1. Just use mikes videos and outline - anything that’s not on the outline just add a separate page and take notes - I thought mikes videos were superior to chads personally.
  2. They look at everything - there used to be a time where they focused on PAT and RC but that’s not the case anymore
  3. @c5555 Hey! I am a current student at UWO Dent. Going to give you some advice that I think would be valuable 1. Your AA is fine - only problem i see is the 17 chem which is low. I scored a 27 in chem when i did the DAT and what I did was by going to DAT bootcamp facebook page and downloading an anki deck that was created by a guy named Tyler i believe (if you search anki deck in the group its the most popular one that has like thousands of cards). From there, I did his bio and chem cards EVERYDAY as I read the material. I then finished all the practice questions on DAT crusher - any questions or concepts i got wrong or didnt know i made an anki card from it and I screenshotted the page/question and put in the card so i get repeated exposure. As i got closer to the exam i did the DATBootcamp questions as they were much much harder than crusher and honestly overprepared me. 2. If i had to give my old self advice was to focus the least amount of time (without totally butchering it) on biology section this is because its unpredictable. The other 3 sections tho you can score very highly on and increase your chances to do well overall. It’s much easier to score a 25 on chem than on bio and on PAT and RC with enough practice than BIO since they are more predictable with practice. Bio sometimes comes down to luck on whether you learned that info in your undergrad or not as some of the questions will not be found in any of the prep services or notes that people review 3. You do not need more than dat bootcamp and crusher - less IS MORE. Having too many resources will just make it harder to actually learn the material. Stick to these 2 as they are proven and a good reflection of the test. 4. You only need a 20+ in each section to be competitive if your GPA is good - the DAT, contrary to belief, seems to be not that important - many of my classmates scored 19AA and got into dent. 5. Next cycle - CRUSH your personal statements and interviews - im talking about waking up at 8am and practicing/writing until 5pm everyday. You already got interviews, meaning the schools see you as a valuable candidate. The interview is VERY VERY important. I recommend Emily Gershon med prep (she specializes in medicine but she also knows a lot about dental school). Every single one of my peers that worked with her got into their respective professional school. Again you DONT ABSOLUTELY NEED to hire an interview coach - but for me the investment was invaluable Good luck, you seem dedicated about the field, you will get in. ***EDIT: Name of the author of anki deck is Luke Ty - jsut search that on the dat bootcamp study group and download the deck - its solid
  4. Result: Accepted GPA: 92% (best 2 years) DAT: 23AA/21PAT/19RC ABS: Research, presidency, lots of volunteering, lots of shadowing, worked in dental clinic, assistant coach. Interview: Honestly, I think I bombed it like after the interview I was like whyyyyyyyyyyy did I say thatttttt..... So honestly I am beyond grateful. Western was the only school I applied to and has been my dream school since high school. I hope everyone eventually makes their dream come true! Msg me if you need more info!
  5. TIMESTAMP: 11:15 AM GPA: 3.95 (92%) DAT SCORE: 23AA, 19 RC, 21 PAT YEAR OF STUDY: Undergrad IP/OOP: IP Interview Offer: Invite
  6. @FentistThank you! Do you mind sharing what you did to prep?
  7. Hey everyone I applied to western this cycle with the following stats: gpa: 3.95 (around 92%) DAT: PAT21/RC19/AA23 ABS: 2 research projects ( one is ongoing) where I was 2nd author Club president (1 year president 2 years Vice President) peer tutor for university (3 years) Vice President of another club (2 years) Construction worker (3 years) Dental office receptionist (2 years) Shadowing (120 hours) Assistant coach for soccer academy (3 years) built an adaptive, free sports program for disabled youth of my soccer academy committee member of a national tournament to raise funds for homeless youth of my community for housing (6 months) How competitive am I as an applicant and any future advice would be appreciated if I get rejected? thank you!!!!
  8. Thank you! Do you think I should apply this cycle or focus on securing a 4.0 again to make my application stronger next year? (im doing a fifth year this upcoming year)
  9. Greetings! I am hoping to apply this year (or the next) for dentistry. My current stats: UWO - 92.5% best 2 year UOFT - 3.88 worst year dropped *DAT not written but expect to do well Extracurriculars: 2 President of clubs Research university tutor for 3 years Dental clinic receptionist for 4 years (full year) Construction worker for 3 years (summer job) Youth soccer academy coach assistant for 4 years (summer job) 350 Hours of dentistry shadowing With that in mind, what would you recommend for me to improve my application to become competitive?
  10. Hey peeps, so i am planning on applying to dental school during my 5th year at york My best GPA for 2 best years were 4.0 which from what I understand becomes a 95% for Western. Now excluding my worst year my GPAs were 3.77 , 3.9 , 4.0 , 4.0 (for UofT.) Excluding DAT, how else can I improve my application to become very competitive? Attached is the current list of the ECs that I have done. Thank you!
