onceinsummer Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Okay so I'll skip the long/convoluted story of why exactly it's really hard for me to job shadow right now before I apply to dental this year. But just know that job shadowing is almost virtually out of the question for me right now. I have a very good idea of what it's like being a dentist but I know that american DAT schools almost require job shadowing, but I don't think this is the case for canada.Will this negatively impact my ability to go to dental school? I mean as in will this negatively impact my application process at all? Will interviewers literally ask me if I've done job shadowing and will I have to say yes if I want to get in? My grades are pretty good, 3.9x/4.0, I'm anticipating ~25 on the DAT, I just can't job shadow right now. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleanup Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 No, but your ability to worry might cut you off at the knees in dental school. Chill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pazzetti Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 Don't need to shadow. Just ask the right questions to dentists or peers in dentistry school You will learn to be a professional in your 4 years Just make sure that the lifestyle/stress of the occupation is right for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sktoddl Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 They may ask you about your job shadowing experience but it is not a requirement. There is plenty of other ways to show yourself. So dont worry too much about it and I recommend you to focus on other competencies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
