Dental school or med school easier to get into?
I know both are very competitive but over all which one do people think its easier in different aspects?
Dental school or med school easier to get into?
I'll tell you that many people believe Dental School is easier to get into but I think it is at least as difficult to get into dental school as medical school. I pretty sure people will say otherwise but don't underestimate dental school. You'll hear about people with good credentials apply 2 or more times before they get in.

Which dental school is better ? Temple University Dental School or University of Florida dental school?
if u are attending or have attend one of the too please share you experience thank u !!
Which dental school is better ? Temple University Dental School or University of Florida dental school?
I don't know which one is ranked higher from an academic point of view, but I do know one thing - if I had a choice between spending four years in Florida and four years on North Broad St in Philadelphia, I'd be out buying some new sunglasses and shorts right now!

School for Dental Assisting?
I NEED TO FIND A SCHOOL FOR DENTAL ASSISTING, BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT SCHOOL. I WOULD RATHER DO AN ONLINE PROGRAM BUT HOW WILL THAT EFFECT ME WHEN I HAVE TO FIND A JOB IN THIS FIELD SINCE I WOULD HAVE NO REAL EXPERIENCE?
School for Dental Assisting?
You could look for an ad for an opening for a dental assistant that offers on-the-job-training, but depending on where you live, you may not be able to (take xrays, impressions, etc,) without certification/licensure.
There are adult education classes as well as classes at community colleges that offer dental assisting training. You need to make sure the classes are governed by the (your state) education department.
Keep in mind, too, that current dental assistants (and dentists and hygienists) were not born with the knowledge they possess... they learned it at one time, just like you will..... and there are plenty of dentists out there who realize this and will still hire girls who lack experience. Someone just needs to give you a chance, so don't get discouraged.....
Taking an online course will just be a waste of your money, since addition to the 'bookwork', you also need hands-on experience.
Best of luck to you~
Reply:You really should get some real experience before you go applying for a job. It's one of those things that can be taught on the job but a dentist is going to have his own headaches and will want you to help not hinder.

I've got a fine art B.A. and an M.S. in art ed. I'm 33 and considering dental school. Could I really get in?
I've got a few science classes under my belt, but I would obviously have to finish the pre-reqs. I think dentistry is a wonderful combo of art and science. Has anyone really started this late in life and with a background like mine? I've been teaching high school for the last four years. Help???
I've got a fine art B.A. and an M.S. in art ed. I'm 33 and considering dental school. Could I really get in?
I just graduated med school and several of my classmates were over 40 (a couple over 50). I'm sure dental schools will take a good look at you if your grades from your science classes and your DAT scores are OK. Take a look at http://forums.studentdoctor.net and look at the Pre-Dental and DAT forums.

Go for it. If it's what you want to do. They take fairly ignorant just graduated from high-school people, so why wouldn't they take you. You've proved you can learn and are a responsible adult.
If you take the classes and meet the requirements for entry into the program they have no reason not to accept you.

get all your pre-reqs done and make sure you have a great GPA
Reply:Absolutely! Talk with the liason of pre med/pre vet/pre dental at your Undergrad (yes, I know it sounds weird, but I'm being serious!). They will recommend what classes you will need, what tests you will take (and their costs) and, given your current GPA, what Dental programs look most promising. Remember, grad programs are more and more looking for people with "real life experience:" which is a fancy way of saying you're mature enough to handle yourself and any curve balls that come your way.

Dental training school?
i've heard that these training schools have people come in to get some practice. my family and i have a low income and cant afford to go to an actual dental office. the prices are just too high for us to afford and i heard that they charge either free or reduced dental work. we are around the central florida area. please help!!!
Dental training school?
Yes you can go to a dental school and find out how they can help you. They will first have to assess if you qualify for treatment and there are extremely long waiting lists.
Reply:Contact the American Dental Association and inquire about the local dental society in your area. They should be able to give you a listing of dentists that provide free or sliding scale services in your area.

What do I have to do to be able to get my teeth fixed at a University Dental School in Chicago?
I don't have insurance and I don't make so much money. I have been told that I can go to UIC to get dental work done without having to pay a whole lot. I haven't been able to find anything googling, and I don't want to walk in there without knowing the first thing, or if it is even offered.

Reply:If the schools number is available, call them and ask about getting dental work done. Sometimes offered services like dental work at schools isn't advertised too well.
Reply:Contact the UIC College of Dentistry. There is a screening process, but the overall dental fees are very affordable. If you can't wait, contact the Chicago Dental Society or go onto their website. Under the "Dental Clinics" category, you should be able to find a dentist that provides free, low cost or sliding scale services.

Is the DAT hard? If my GPA is a 3.2 can i get into dental school?
Any advice would be helpful. I'm thinking about going into dentistry (I am a dental hygienist now).
Is the DAT hard? If my GPA is a 3.2 can i get into dental school?
The DAT is not a hard hard test, but it does require some prep and study time for. There are test centers out there that can help you prep for the test - Kaplan and Princeton Review offer courses.
What you do have to realize is that you need to put time and effort into studying for the test- there are 3 science sections (bio, g-chem, o-chem), math, reading comp, and the PAT (perceptual ability test - ability to see two dimensional objects in 3D space). Of those subjects, your overall science score and your PAT are going to be what matters the most.
A 3.2 GPA should still enable you to get into a dental school. You may need to bolster your resume out a little more (being a hygenist definately helps!), and if you want to get into schools like Harvard, UCLA and UCSF, you may need to get some research experience to be on par with most of the applicants to those schools
Good luck!

How many years of college should i take in junior college before going to dental school?
Im starting my freshman year at a junior college ( orange coast college) and was wondering how long I should spend there or if I should transfer to a university after 2 years of the junior college and then go to graduate school. I'm confused about the whole process and need to be cleared up. Any suggestions is very much appreciated thanks =]
How many years of college should i take in junior college before going to dental school?
A junior college will only grant you this much:
A two year degree...or associate's.
A four year degree can only be acquired at a university. However, you may begin at either a two year college or at a university in order to reach this degree, also known as a Bachelor's degree.
As far as graduate school, well..you're considered a graduate student once you've earned your Bachelor's (4 year) degree and continue working on your Master's degree, typically 6 years of complete education.
A common misconception is that these degrees do take 2, 4, or 6 years to complete, but the truth is that most people complete the 4 year degree on a six year plan...Like me...That's because it all depends on the pace at which you take your classes...Somewhere along the way you may decide to take fewer classes for lesser credit or simply take a break completely, so the # of years does not equal the # of years it will take YOU to complete your degree...
As far as Dental scchool, I'm not sure at all about the process, just thought I'd clear up the whole junior college thing.
I hope someone out there knows and can help you...Try looking it up online...Good luck

With good grades, etc, does having ADD or ADHD prevent you from getting into medical/pharmacy/dental school?
My dream is to enter medical school. My grades are pretty close to the average of those that are accepted into medical school. I've had a lot of experience as a volunteer in the hospital and everything. I've done mock interviews, my MCAT score is quite high. But I was told by many that I might have ADD/ADHD. I believe I might have it also. However, I heard that being diagnosed as having certain diseases may prevent certain jobs or even entry into graduate school.
With good grades, etc, does having ADD or ADHD prevent you from getting into medical/pharmacy/dental school?
So you have ADH.....hey, what do you say we go grab something to eat?
Just kidding man, lol. My dad and bro have ADHD and I think I have a bit of it myself tbh. It is what you make of it. My dad was a terrible student in school but eventually graduated from Michigan State and then earned a masters in education. Awhile later, he opened up his own business and applied his ADHD to it and worked his *** off and now he is extremely successful.
It is not uncommon for those with ADHD to mature in age and develop a tremendous focus and work ethic to the task at hand. Apply it to your dream and see where it takes you.
Good luck!
p.s. I don't think ADHD is considered to be a "disease".
Reply:Being told that you "might" have it is not the same thing as having it. Unless you have a medical doctor or psychiatrist diagnose you (and I don't know why you would if it isn't negatively effecting you somehow) I wouldn't worry about it.
Study hard, get good grades, do your best.
Reply:If you do have ADD, it doesn't appear to have been an impediment for you so far. ADD is not a disqualifying disorder for entrance into a medical school. If it's weighing on your mind, visit a psychologist for an evaluation. But again, based on your claim of high grades and a high MCAT score, I doubt you have it.

How much did it cost to have wisdom teeth pulled at a dental school?
I have no dental coverage and need my 4 wisdom teeth pulled
How much did it cost to have wisdom teeth pulled at a dental school?
I can't give you a price quote but I can only tell you that at most schools the cost is a really small fraction of what it would be at a dentist office. For example: where I went, a cleaning with xrays was $15. The going rate for those procedures in my area is about $90 for the cleaning and an additional $50 at least for the xrays.
Also, don't be afraid of going to a school because someone 'inexperienced' is working on you. There is always a licensed dentist working right with the student.
Reply:thee guys will cover you and give you a free cellphone if you enroll.they cover all dental procedures and cosmetics too.

I feel older than 25. I worked so hard to get into dental school (acccepted). I have no desire 2go hang out.
Why do I feel like a lump on a log. I have no classes this summer but I don't do anything. Except sit in the house acting as if I am an old hag....
Please give me some suggestion to improve my extremely boring summer. I have a few wks b4 school starts back up...

I think you are suffering from a little burnout, which is certainly reasonable under the circumstances. You may also be feeling at loose ends because for so long you didn't really have a choice about how to spend your time and energy and now you do and you don't know what to do with it. Same thing happens with workaholics forced to take a vacation.
Probably the thing that would help you the most at first is just some physical exercise. Just go walk around the block, go swimming, or whatever appeals to you. And if you say nothing appeals to you, think back to what used to and go do that. This will also help you get in shape to deal with school when it starts.

Reading is always a top choice(if you are into reading, of course) in the summer.You can read some mystery novels.Another option is that you can start learning a foreign language in a course outside or on the Internet, and then practice with native speakers via Skype. There are lots of things to do, just don't feel depressed.

Reply:I am a dentist. I didn't have any experience in the dental field prior to dental school, and you don't either although it certainly helps to see if you would like dentistry in general. They teach you everything you need to know to be a dentist. You could be a dental assistant. Some dentists hire them without any experience and will train you. You could also goto assisting school but it is very expensive. Assisting a dentist you get to see and learn alot about what dentists do. I would chose this rather than a front office position where you don't see what is going on. You could also just ask a dentist to shadow them for a day to see if you like it. I love dentistry but it is not for everyone. You have to goto school 4 years college and 4 years dental school (university of pacific is 3 years) For most dental schools, it is about your dental admissions test and your grades in college, not whether or not you were a dental assistant.
Reply:I think dental assisting is a great profession to work in prior to joining dental school. I use to work as a dental assistant before I was accepted into medical school.
Reply:I'm a dentist.
In all honesty, competitive GPA and DAT scores is job number one for someone applying to dental school. Without those, your work experience is of miniscule value.
But if you must know, a dental assisting position would be worthwhile. At very least, spending time observing in a practice would be useful.

Can I graduate with a business degree but still go to dental school right after?
I will be graduating with high honors from the business school but being a dentist pays better. Will this work out?
Can I graduate with a business degree but still go to dental school right after?
Dentistry is a medical profession that has its own set of prerequisites. These would include a lot of science courses that I'm sure you didn't take in undergrad if you were a business major.
Since money is so important, I'll give you some advice you didn't ask for. I would bet money that if you choose to do something simply because of the way it pays, you're unlikely to feel good about your life no matter how much you accumulate. Picking at or pulling people's teeth can be a depressing job for people that don't feel very passionately about it. There's some idea that dentists are near the top in terms of professionals who commit suicide. While I question the validity of that, it had to originate somewhere. Be cautious if you're really considering pursuing a field as demanding as that based on $.

Dentistry is a medical profession that has its own set of prerequisites. These would include a lot of science courses that I'm sure you didn't take in undergrad if you were a business major.
Since money is so important, I'll give you some advice you didn't ask for. I would bet money that if you choose to do something simply because of the way it pays, you're unlikely to feel good about your life no matter how much you accumulate. Picking at or pulling people's teeth can be a depressing job for people that don't feel very passionately about it. There's some idea that dentists are near the top in terms of professionals who commit suicide. While I question the validity of that, it had to originate somewhere. Be cautious if you're really considering pursuing a field as demanding as that based on $.

If I live in New jersey and want to go to NYU dental school will the fees be doubled? Optometry school same ?
Since there is no optometry school in NJ a person with lower income has a less chance of becoming optometrist because he has to go out of state and the fees will be doubled
If I live in New jersey and want to go to NYU dental school will the fees be doubled? Optometry school same ?
NYU is private, so the fees are high, but they are the same regardless. Only public universities have lower fees in state. Also, in some cases, states have agreements with each other that allow for reduced fees for subjects not offered in-state. I know in New England the tuition is in state +25%, rather than out-of-state, if you're major isn't offered at a public university in your home state, and it's also in New England. I'm not sure if this applies for New Jersey with some other nearby states.

Does anybody know how much it costs to go to dental school at Tufts University?
Also, how long do you go to school to become a general dentist for children and adults/families? And what is the difference between a D.M.D and a D.D.S?
Does anybody know how much it costs to go to dental school at Tufts University?
All of this info is on the Tufts website.
It costs about $80,000 per year this includes living expenses/housing.

DDS (Doctor of Dental Surgery) and DMD (Doctor of Dental Medicine) are the same degrees. The difference is a matter of semantics. The majority of dental schools award the DDS degree; however, some award a DMD degree. The education and degrees are the same

Which way should I go? e-Healthplus.com or UCLA dental school for needed work.?
Do dentists provide lower quality work if you have this plan? What are the pros/cons with this plan?
How about the school, quality of work? Time is a real factor here.
Which way should I go? e-Healthplus.com or UCLA dental school for needed work.?
Don't know about your health plan. As for the dental school, I had my wisdom teeth cut out at the IU dental school. Performed by a graduate student with the instructor right there to assist/guide. No problems. Would just check on what kind of mentoring/assistance the student gets. also depends on what you need done.

What is the lowest gpa and dat score to get into nyu dental school?
Is columbia dental harder to get into than NYU dental?
What is the lowest gpa and dat score to get into nyu dental school?
Check the collegeboard.com site. It isn't only gpa's and dat's (whatever that is). Extracurricular activities, personality, your essay, and recommendations matter too. But try calling NYU yourself.
Reply:Why in the world are you asking us??? Give them a call and ask them.

I'm flunking my 3rd year of dental school, should I keep going or quit?
I've barely passed my first 2 years of school, which was mostly lecture. But the clinical part (which began the 3rd year) is the one I'm doing real bad. I flunked the first quarter so I'm on probation. I'm close to getting kicked out.
I'm flunking my 3rd year of dental school, should I keep going or quit?
The question ought to be:
How badly do you want to be a dentist?
If you want to be a dentist that badly, then commit yourself to learning everything you need to, and then some.
If you are in dentistry simply because it's something to do that pays well, quit now.
Reply:It doesn't seem that dentistry is for you.
Reply:the question is do you want to be a dentist? don't give up because of difficulty just work harder.
Reply:I worked for a group of dentists for 10 years. If you don't love what you are doing or have the artistic ability to do the practical part - QUIT!!! What good is a DDS if you can't make a living at it because you are sub-standard. You have the perseverance to complete any type of degree program or you would not have gotten this far. Change your major - most college students change their major twice before they graduate. Find something you love and keep going. Good Luck and God Bless - it takes courage to face making a mistake, so don't beat yourself up --- just switch and keep trying.
Reply:Do you like dentistry? That should determine what you do.
My friend is a dentist and doesn't like it and hasn't for years and years. She feels trapped. If she hadn't invested so much time and money, she'd rather do something else.
You obviously like the science. You probably have other talents so consider using them.
Dentistry will involve all this clinical stuff, plus the dealing with people who don't pay on time or cancel.
One idea would be to sell dental supplies. That's easier and lucrative. Do consider all options.
Reply:Absolutely Not. Tell Your Instructors The Problem You Are Having And That You Need More Help... Be Open. They Don't Want To See You Fail Either, It Looks Bad On Them If You Do, And You, Yourself, Have Way Too Much Invested In Time And Effort To Quit At This Point. Get A Stiff Upper Lip, And Continue On... You Are Almost There.
I Know This Because My Mother Is A Dentist And She Said She Ran Through The Same Problem, And Now She Is Very Happy Years Later, That She Had The Courage To Stick With It. Keep With It, Continue On, Let Them Know Your Concerns And Problems, And Good Luck!!! Remember, You Will Not See Any Of These People Much In The Future After You Graduate, Unless You Make The Effort, And I Also Know This Because Of The Aforementioned Reason. (School Seems Like Its Own Whole World Only When You Are There, Not Afterwards.)
Reply:Would YOU want to go to a mediocre dentist? If you are going to do it, you need to change your attitude NOW. You can do it, but dont do it if you are just going to get past it and hurt people.
