Hello Brandon. I am Dr. Teresa. It is so nice to meet you=) I am a dentist in Vancouver and I went to UBC. Its so awesome to hear about your experience. Looking forwards to following your journey
Hi, I am currently an IB student (first year) and I was so confused about how Canadian Dental schools worked but thank you so much for explaining everything!
I am a senior in high school and I have been very interested in becoming a dentist! This video helped ease my stress and helped me figure a few things out, thanks! :D
Good luck!! Did you get in? 😄 If yes, could you please tell me what GPA you had and which ECs you did? I’m entering my first year of undergrad next year (UOttawa) and my dream is to get into dental school (Western or UT)!
I am taking business,chem and bio in A level and I want to get into a dental school can I get into it??please reply🙏🏻🙏🏻......is it the ryt subjects for me
Hi! I applied to many universities in Ontario for undergraduate (Toronto, uottawa, McMaster, queens) for health sciences/life sciences. I was wondering, which uni did you go to for undergrad and which uni would you recommend to increase my chances of getting into Western U or Toronto U for dental school? Thank you so much 😊
Make sure u take the required courses in high school before your graduated unlike me. Your not gonna want to take the pre requisites after high school.
Hey brother please help me. I have completed my 12th with medical without maths. Am I eligible for dentist??. I am coming to Canada for 2 year diploma. Can u suggest me what should I choose after this so that I would become eligible for DAT exam.
Thanks for the informative video Brandon! How important would you say research is when applying to dental school? I currently don't have any research and am a bit worried that it might hinder my application :/
I’m an IB student in Europe and I would really like to study dentistry in Canada, but I’m so confused if I can even apply with IB to for example University of Toronto. In my country we just apply for the school, take one exam and have an interview if we pass the exam, then they’ll let us know. I’m beyond puzzled with all the different requirements and exams. Should I even think of studying dentistry in Canada or is it impossible for me to get in? What do I need to do? Thank you so much!
Hlo l am from India and want to become dentist in Canada and thinking to join it after +2 from India . Will I be eligible for undergraduate program or not ?
I hope this isn’t a dumb question but i’m truly lost. So I’m in 12th grade rn high school is going good I got a 90 in biology this sen so i’m not too scared about my marks for applying to uni’s for my undergrad, but you know how in ontario we apply to universities through OUAC? When I’m applying what program am I applying to? I know one of the main 2 courses that uoft requires a full year course for is Biochemistry, and Mammalian Physiology, am i essentially applying to these programs? and for the other additional prerequisites are they my electives? I’m lowkey confused because I know all these courses are general courses and are not meant to be specialized but I still don’t get what I’m actually applying to in the university. I plan on doing my undergrad at ryerson university so would that mean out of those 4 prerequisites one of them is my major and i take the rest as electives? I was also wondering since this is all happening over the span of 4 years. Since different schools require different prerequisites is it possible to do different prerequisites each year? Like western requires org chem while uoft doesn’t would i end up taking org chem as an elective during my 2nd year for example to fulfill the prerequisites? Sorry if the questions sound stupid I’m just very lost and we have until the end of december to submit our uni applications.
Undergraduate programs differ from school to school. You'll have to do research on which programs you 1) want to attend and 2) if its possible to take and complete the prerequisite courses for dental school. In some more science-based undergrad programs, you'll take prerequisites as part of the program anyways. In order programs, you may have to use electives to complete these prerequisites. Choose a program that you are interested in - that way you'll do well!
Hi Sandra, I believe CEGEP is only accounted for at the QC dental schools (Laval, UDM, and McGill). Outside of QC, it would depend on the school. Some schools require having a bachelors degree, some require just pre-requisite courses. I would suggest you look into the specific school you're interested in.
Hi Zhan, thanks for giving my video a watch! Neither volunteering nor employment is mandatory for applying and getting accepted into dental schools. However, it's great to have and volunteering or working in an area you're passionate about gives you things to write about in your application and speak about in your interview. Goodluck!
I’m about to start grade 11 in high school in Ontario. I’m just curious about what courses I should be taking besides chemistry, biology, and math? I was also wondering about how much your high school marks matter when applying to a Canadian dental school. Great video by the way.
@@drbrandondental Hey I have the same question as I will be in grade 11 next year. I will be taking biology, chemistry and math-2 😬 I'm not the best in school do to my disability but do u think it's possible that I still become a dentist. Also, do you need physics? ( I struggle too much on that 😬
Hi Brandon. I have a low gpa below 3.0 but i'm interested in studying dentistry. Is there a program i can take to boost my gpa (like a post bacc in the US). thanks.
Hi brandon! How to become a dentist in canada? Like if you're a fresh dentist in other country and you're planning to be a dentist in canada, do you need to study again? How long?
Nice bro. I wanted to study dentistry in canada and i have a bachelor degree with high gpa in paychology. I really want to know how and when should i complete prerequisite?? And should i first complete prerequisite and then apply or first should i apply and then the university shows me the path?
Hi Brandon! I'm wondering if you signed up for a DAT bootcamp course online and if so did it help? Would the DAT books (i.e. Crack the DAT) work just as fine as the prep course (i.e. DAT Bootcamp, Kaplan, etc.) or would taking an online prep course really be recommended? Thank you!
Hi Jessry, I never did the bootcamps. I did download and pay for Crack the DAT for a bit - mostly just for the PAT practice. I never used anything else except for textbooks. I used MCAT books just cause I had them. But you can purchase DAT books and study those too. It really depends on your learning style! Many people take classes.
I'd be able to do a whole video on this haha! Dentistry is definitely challenging to get the hang of and not for everyone but everyone struggles with different aspects of dentistry. I bet I'd be able to get tons of different opinions on this if I surveyed my classmates.
Hi how can you shadow a dental stream? To know if I want to pursue it further, also can you make a video on what are the opportunities after finishing dental school.
@@Makeeup4ever im currently in my fourth year of secondaire...so in a year im in applying for cegep💀 that is i wanna go for either dawson or vanier....i dont wanna go to a french school since i cant really speak it...do you think i should get serious in learning french if i wanna work as a dentist in quebec?
hello! so i just finish my pharmacy degree and thinking about continuing dental school in université de Montréal. Do you have any ideas if i should do undergraduate programs or my pharmacy program is enough
Getting a professional line of credit is easy once you get into professional programs. Most major banks will offer you money based on your program and your future potential earnings.
Getting into any speciality program after completing dental school is difficult! Nothing is easy, everything requires hard work. My advice would be to get into dental school first, and see what specialities you like. One step at a time, good luck!
Hey I hope everyone is doing well, I wanna apply to western university dentil school, I’m first year biomed student but Im thinking about health science, Im just not sure what is better and which one can help me more or give a better chance to get into western dentistry school.
If we go to college for 2 years , we automatically become pr?? And tuition decreased, as a Canadian student?? And what about DAT?? Is it so hard as people say?? I'm really stressful for DAT because my basic knowledge is not good , specially about chemistry..... Hope you answer :)
GPA really depends on the school you apply to! For every program, GPA is calculated differently based on what they consider to be part of the application's GPA. For example, Western looks at best two years vs. Toronto looks at every year minus your worst year if you have four of more years of undergrad. For Western, the GPA I applied with was a mid-high 3.8. Minimum competitive is a cumulative GPA of 3.7.
Heyy.. Well i wanna ask if u can get into craniofacial specialty in canada after dental school or not?.. Yeah m not candian nd i would like to continue my residency there if u can get craniofacial bcz in my country it s not possible anymore Can u please make a video about it nd about all the specialities there Ps:m still first year dental school xD but i really wanna continue my studies in canada
Hi For international trained dentists..the dental degrees would be considered as a pre requisite course or they need to do additional courses for writing the DAT?
Hey I am an Indian Dentist thinking of coming to Canada. I wanted to know that as a general dentist or just a dentist what procedures are we allowed to perform ? And for what kind of procedures do we have to call in an consult? Pls do reply
