kamyars Posted May 7, 2020 Report Share Posted May 7, 2020 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?

DentKoolKid Posted May 7, 2020 Report Share Posted May 7, 2020 You have a good chance. Do well on DAT and you should get interviews! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamyars Posted May 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2020 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred VanVleet's Tooth Posted May 8, 2020 Report Share Posted May 8, 2020 For sure apply this cycle (in my opinion) -- your stats are already pretty solid. If it doesn't work out this year then 1) at least you'll have already experienced the process 2) if you do well in this 5th year of UG you'll be an even stronger applicant.
