As a pre-dental student, here are some tips that can help you succeed:

1) Maintain a strong academic record: Dental schools are highly competitive, so it's essential to have a solid academic background. Aim for a GPA of 3.5 or higher and take challenging courses in the sciences, such as biology, chemistry, and physics.

2)Gain hands-on experience: Dental schools look for applicants with hands-on experience in the field, so look for opportunities to shadow dentists or work as a dental assistant or hygienist. This experience will also help you decide if dentistry is the right career path for you.

3) Get involved in extracurricular activities: Participating in extracurricular activities, such as volunteering in your community or joining a pre-dental club, can demonstrate your leadership skills and commitment to serving others.

4) Prepare for the Dental Admissions Test (DAT): The DAT is a standardized test that measures your academic ability and scientific knowledge. It's important to prepare thoroughly for the test, so consider taking a DAT prep course or studying with a tutor.

5) Research dental schools: Do your research to find dental schools that align with your interests and career goals. Look at their requirements, curriculum, and faculty to determine which schools would be the best fit for you.

6) Stay organized and plan ahead: Dental school applications can be time-consuming and complex, so it's important to stay organized and plan ahead. Create a timeline for completing your application materials, and make sure you give yourself enough time to prepare for the DAT and gather letters of recommendation.

7) Don't give up: The path to becoming a dentist can be challenging, but don't give up on your dreams. Stay focused and motivated, and remember that with hard work and perseverance, you can achieve your goals.

At times, one of the beauties of being a military dentist is that you can potentially see zero patients all day and not have to worry about your pay being affected. It’s also fun to be able to shake things up from time to time and pretend to be a Marine 🤣🤙🏾
