Thinking About Dentistry Instead of Respiratory Therapy:
I am a 26-year-old Community College student who is thinking about becoming a Respiratory Therapist. However, recently I have been considering Dentistry after taking this career aptitude assessment called You Science through my college's career services office. The assessment showed that I have a strong aptitude for Orthodontics and Prosthodontics. I know this would take 4 years of undergrad along with 4 years of dental school and then another graduate program for either Orthodontics or...

What types of research do T20 schools (UChicago or Northwestern) like?
I am currently applying to the NIH's postbac program, and because my undergrad research experience is very dry lab, health disparities oriented, I haven't had much luck. I'm looking more towards applying to health disparities institution, so very epidemiological-based research, but I was wondering if doing this through this program would still give me a shot at entry to UChicago or Northwestern. Or do they like basic science research?
How can I get into basic science research without any...

Nuanced OMFS residency question
Hello everyone,
I have some specific questions about applying to OMFS residency after dental school, any opinions would be appreciated!

I am now a D2 ranked top 15%, and am currently studying for the CBSE in July. After, I plan to start externing, and looking to...

Help! Masters or PostBacc?
i seriously feel so lost, it feels like my dream of getting into school is impossible. i applied this past cycle to schools i really shouldn't have and didnt get an interview anywhere, now im here and looking at next steps. my advisor told me to do a postbacc to raise my sgpa. i have a low sgpa, but only two bad grades, i think this is due to taking a lack of science courses beyond prereqs, so a postbacc made sense as i wouldnt be retaking any classes but would just be showing i could do...

“Non science major” classes
Planning to apply DO in a couple years.
Took Biology + Lab for non science majors 20+ years ago.
Should I retake the science major version for admission purposes?
Alternatively, can I just take an upper level Bio class to replace it?
I know some schools screen for age of Biology courses.
What would be the best course of action? (Source: Student Doctor Network)
