americanadiandent Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 Hello everyone, I'm a Canadian finishing up my first year at a US dental school. While I do love my school, I'm planning to apply as a 2nd year transfer to U of T and UWO since it is so much less expensive than the American schools. Could anyone from UWO or U of T advise as to whether there are open spots in the class of 2018? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDS_hopeful Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 Our class has 54 students, but it usually has 56. I'm not sure if that means there are 2 open spots, or if they intentionally took less people. Either way, you should contact the schools and give it a try. Good luck!

patty12 Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 DDS_hopeful how do you like your school? Do you enjoy the day to day more than just getting through it? I love my class now and my school and faculty but because of cost I'm debating on applying. Any input would be appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the beginning of the year, it felt like more of a grind since it consisted of lots of didactic lectures and written exams. Now that we're emphasizing the practical work, days go by much faster and I actually don't even mind going to extra practice hours. I also feel like our class is a pretty tight-knit group since we spend an ungodly amount of hours together haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patty12 Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 DDS_hopeful thanks for the response. Another quick question. Does your school have a remediation policy? Like if you fail a clinical competency or an exam or if you fail are you just done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
