toothberry Posted June 16, 2020 Report Share Posted June 16, 2020 Hey everyone! I'm going into my third year at McMaster (Life Sci), and I'm hoping to go to dental school after (ideally Western). I was wondering if you guys have any tips to help boost my application outside of doing well on the DAT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starburst Posted June 19, 2020 Report Share Posted June 19, 2020 Although most Canadian schools mainly care about GPA, it's a good idea to get familiar with the dental field through shadowing or partaking in extracurricular activities during the summers. It becomes especially helpful during interviews when you can mention them and incorporate them into your answers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orgolover Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 get work and volunteer experience so that you have something to talk about during the interview. Plan B doesn't hurt as well. toothberry 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
