How to PREPARE for DENTAL SCHOOl as a HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT!

As a high school student, it can be difficult to figure out how you can prepare for dental school. Personally, I knew I wanted to be a dentist as a Junior in high school - I remember feeling like I was too young to prepare and felt like whatever I did would not help me in dental school. I WAS FAR FROM THE TRUTH! There is so much you can do as a high school student to prepare for dental school. In this video, I share some of the things you can do as a high school student to prepare for dental school.

I finally passed my DAT exam after all the stress.I thank God for the great opportunity and my tutor Thomas 🎊🎊🎉🎉 All my prayers to those struggling to pass through DAT cause it hasn't been easy.I hope y'all make it some day too Amen🙏

[@GorgeousGorgeous-kr3wj]

I failed 3 times, i lost money to reviews that never helped but the major thing is that I've not lost hope

[@LioLio-nl8co]

Passing the DAT is when you study hard,if you can't study or you don't have time for your studies I'd advise you get yourself help like Mr Thomas

[@GorgeousGorgeous-kr3wj]

I had interest in working with him but I was discouraged by my friends out of ignorance 😔

[@ChristianChristian-cv2zx]

I have a cousin who never studied much,we studied together but she gives most of her time to her phone than studies after writing DAT last month, she passed and I failed😣, I asked her how she did it, just found out she got her help from Mr Thomas ..

[@LioLio-nl8co]

Sometimes hard work doesn’t pay you have to back it up with smartness🤓, I think your cousin understood that perfectly

[@VidyG]

great video my friend 👍🏽

This is so helpful! I have a question how much shadowing hours would you recommend for dental school? And should I shadow multiple dentist?

[@doingdentalschool]

Glad I could help! There isn't a specific number of hours - it is more dependent on the you gaining experience and knowing what dentistry is. Shadowing multiple dentists can be a great way to gain multiple perspectives!

[@VidyG]

i did my dental in high school they have 2 classes and the rest is in community college 👍🏽

[@doingdentalschool]

That's so interesting, cool to see how things are different!

Can a mid 3.7 gpa get you into accelerated dental programs like UOP?

[@aafrinvasaya]

hey! i know in order to apply to dental school we can pick any major, but what are some majors you would recommend?

[@doingdentalschool]

It really depends on what you are interested in! Of course, biology / chemistry / biomedical sciences majors have many of the dental school pre-requisites already built into their curriculums. But if you are interested in other topics, you can still work with your advisor to complete your major and all of the dental school pre-requisites!
