CDent2010 Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Hey guys this one was brought up to my attention from my gf: Do any of you feel obsessed with getting into dental school? It seems to be my case (especially for the past year or so). It's almost all I think about, even dream about. Everything I do seems to resolve around getting that acceptance letter. lol. Can any of you relate at least a little bit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tryptophan Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 if u dream that you were shadowing a dentist, can u use those hours for your application? HHAHAH you are too funny. But yes, I totally get what you mean!! I do feel like im pretty obsessed with it, but right now its my biggest goal and I think all my decisions are decisions that I hope will lead to me to that holy grail of an acceptance letter. I'm 20 so I dont have too many worries besides trying to get in, but maybe this will change as I get older? (hopefully I get in before that happens haha) But yeah, I think its totally normal and the more focused you are the higher the chances that you will reach your goal. So keep going and good luck!!

Can any of you relate at least a little bit? I completely understand where you are coming from, so no worries you are not the only one It's good to be prepared, but sometimes I find it helpful to just step outside of yourself for a minute and look at it from an objective point of view. The interview consists of you going to said university and showing them how much they would MISS OUT if you were not part of their team It is your opportunity to pick the best school for you and everything you have done up to this point is being recognized. I think it is best to just know yourself in terms of the major events in your life and how they have molded you into the person you are today, and give off an enthusiastic vibe during the interview. HAVE FUN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprachiasmatic Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 I know how you feel. It's probably not a bad thing. It's just how badly you want it. With that said, I try not to think about it too much, because I don't like getting my hopes up and then getting a rejection letter. Worst feeling ever.

Drillah Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 it drives you insane and can lead to one of two outcomes: depression or happiness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can any of you relate at least a little bit? Absolutely... Especially this time of year. Definately worse than exam time at school. Stress and anxiety is thick in the air around people like us right now... The thought of not getting in is awful, which is why I think we get so focused on getting that letter.

earth.razer Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 I'm obsessed too and I absolutely hate this feeling, I just want to get it over with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molarman Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 I'm so happy you brought up this post, I often find most of my friends get sick of talking to me when I start talking about dentistry because I just can't shut up about it! I just brush it off as one day I'll be a very committed dentist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
