What should I do?
Hello future dentists! I’ve been secretly viewing posts on SDN since middle school and this is my first post lol. I’m an upcoming senior pre-dental student at a top 13 public university. So far I have taken Gen chem one and two, bio one and two, anatomy and physiology one, microbiology, precalculus, Calc one, statistics, and I’m currently taking OCHEM one in the summer. I still have to take physics, biochemistry and the second half of OCHEM. The reason for my post is because I’m trying to...

DAT question and Class requirement.
Hello everyone, I a a student that graduating this June and decided to apply for dental school. I am thinking some of the school require microbiology, can I put that class as in progress and take it in community college after I graduated?
Also, I just took my DAT today and I only got 16 on my RC. Should I consider retake in sept. then apply or maybe I should wait one more year. But I got 21 for PAT and 19 for AA!
Thank u! (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Another WAMC...(what are my chances of getting into a good school?)
No, not one of those new pop-up schools. And no, I'm not aiming for top schools like USCF or something because I doubt I can go there. I'm looking for schools that don't take the PCAT, primarily Oregon State University and University of Washington since I live in the NW coast. And I am well aware of the loans, the loans is no problem to me at this point.

I got a C in microbiology lab and a B- in the lecture
These two classes are notoriously the hardest in the biology department and I was taking 18+ hours while taking them. This is my junior year and the only two classes I have made below a B+ in. Should I give up on MD? I am applying this cycle. (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Question about systems-based curriculum (organ system "blocks")
So I'm just trying to gain a better understanding of a systems-based curriculum and how exactly it's broken down.
The way I understand it currently is for each particular organ system, you attack it from all directions, including microbiology, physiology, genetics, biochemistry, and pathology, as well as any behavioral/social sciences related to the topic.
However, how does this actually look in reality?
Say that an OMS1 or OMS2 is trying to go through the STEP 1 review resources (BRS...

LOR situation
I am one month away from finishing up my microbiology class. I have an A currently in the class and I want my professor to write me a LOR but my class has 10 other pre dental situations who are also planning on applying this cycle. Would it be okay for me to ask my professor for LOR before the class finishes and a final grade is posted? (Source: Student Doctor Network)
