Quest for Dental School

By wbrantley

  • Application Window opens

    The Application window for the entering class of 2009 opened today online.

  • I took the DAT

    I took the DAT today, for the third and possibly final time. I have been studying for a couple of weeks hardcore, but I was unable to pull out a good score. I ended up getting an 18 on the PAT, a 17 on the Academic Average, and a 16 on Total Sciences.

  • Fall classes begin at ASU

    I am continuing to take classes at ASU this fall in order to raise my science GPA. This fall I'm taking:
    Biochemistry I with Dr. Hobbs (3 hrs)
    Evolutionary Biology with Dr. Wear (3 hrs)
    Cell Biolgy with Dr. Griner (4 hrs)
    Anatomy and Physiology with Dr. Cromer (4 hrs)

  • Application was Submitted

    That was the last piece of the puzzle - all of the other information was allready in.

  • Chris C. Interviews

    He applied on the first part of August, and he is a 3rd time applicant. This is about 8 weeks after he applied.

  • Application Window closes for application cycle

  • Lane has an interview

    He has some very good academic scores and applied about a week after I did. This is 6 weeks after his application.

  • Spoke with Dr. Carole Hanes

    Spoke with Dr. Hanes on the phone, and she was very nice and helpful. She told me that she didn't think that I would get an interview this year, but that I was a year away from being a very competitive applicant, assuming that I perform well in the classes that I am taking.
