Guest garebear Posted April 2, 2006 Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 New here, just wondering if there are any other predents with indian status. I haven't seen any stats from the schools, but I do know that UofT takes this sort of thing into "special consideration" when reviewing applications. I intend on taking full advantage of this. After Honours thesis next year (4th year), should have 80% approx average for best 3 years. Any insight into my chances (provided good DAT performance, I've been practicing), or past applicants with "indian status" would be much appreciated.

Guest kellyl20 Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 With those stats and status I would be really surprised if you did not get in. Med, dent, law and probably a whole lot more, you have a wide range of choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TheChosenOneDDS Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 in the dental school there are a couple of status indians. and some of them have stats that are below the minimums for most people. that is a fact. so i'm sure you have good chances of getting in if that is what you want to do.

Guest garebear Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 Thanks for confirming what I already was guessing. I don't like calling it affirmative action, but I definitely have an ace up my sleeve. Thanks again you guys for taking the time to answer my question.

Guest Audio Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 do you think you'd want to serve the "indian" community when you graduate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Aplusdent Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 my gosh...when I saw "indian" I thought he/she was talking about people born in India.....:lol (it get's confusing...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest garebear Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 Audio: I would definitely be serving the remote native reserves when I graduate. There's actually a program in Manitoba where my chiropractor's friend, a dentist, is working with several native reserves and getting excellent pay ($700/day), with accomodations. I'll be contacting him so that I might be able to do the same, and because I'll be working for reserves, on reserves, I won't be subjected to paying any income taxes. After a couple years I should have enough saved up to cover most of the overhead of a practice in some rural town, where I plan on spending half the year practicing in town, the other on reserve land, if possible. Aplusdent: Yeah it gets confusing, because on government documents they still use the term "indian" when talking about aboriginals, probably just too lazy to change everything.
