crimson_rose Posted October 11, 2020 Report Share Posted October 11, 2020 Hi everyone, I'm looking to speak to a student who was accepted into dental school without shadowing experience. I feel that a large majority of applicants have shadowed, but with COVID19 I haven't been able to land an opportunity yet. I do have other extracurricular activities that I can showcase, but was wondering specifically about dental related ones and how important it is to highlight those on an ABS. Thanks!

Maggiie19 Posted October 12, 2020 Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 I was accepted this year at Dal without shadowing experience and none of my ECs were related to dentistry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know of any good ones by Canadian Dental Students/Dentists? Thx! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamR Posted October 21, 2020 Report Share Posted October 21, 2020 I was accepted this year at UofT with practically no shadowing experience, but I did have a lot of EC's (none related to dentistry though!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentistrydmd Posted November 1, 2020 Report Share Posted November 1, 2020 Most canadian schools don't look at your CV/shadowing experiences/reference letters. This is more useful in the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
