I’m a pre-dental student and I’ve been feeling so discouraged about my GPA because I felt like a 3.45 wasn’t high enough to be accepted, but hearing that your GPA was a 3.4 gives me hope!! 😊

Sorry I haven't gotten back to you guys!! I'm currently backpacking in South Africa ! I will be back next week :)

Dr. Wendy, I would say that this video was one of the more helpful videos that I have watched for dental-school applicants on KZfaq. I am so tired of hearing the same thing over and over again. I love your perspective especially as an international applicant! I would love to see a video talking more about your personal statement. Thank you for the great video!

Loved this! I’ll be starting dental school in Texas in the fall!

Hey Dr. Wendy could you read out your personal statement and letter of recommendations . Thank You

Dr. Wendy Zhu- That's really helpful. Thank you very much.

i’m a freshman in high school & i know that i for sure want to be a pediatric dentist. i’m already looking into majors & honors classes to help me become educated in biology, which is what i’m planning on majoring in at a university. i’m really scared of not being successful as a pd. & i’m nervous because of how expensive it can get. i’m gonna do my best to maintain my 4.0 all throughout high school & hopefully i fulfill my dreams one day!! 🙏🏼

Hi!! Reading your personal statement would definitely help! Not that I shall quote directly but I would be definetly inspired though. You are a great dentist.

Why is my heart beating so fast. I’ve got 3 semesters to go and had a rough last semester, but I’m already so nervous

I found this video very uplifting and gives me a smidgen of hope to apply to dental school. Thank you!

Hey Dr. Wendy, Just wanna thank you for making these great videos. I was wondering if you could make a video regarding what you used to study for the DAT?

Take the time to talk to your dentist or one you may know. They will give you valuable advice regarding admission but, more importantly, if you are accepted try to keep them as a mentor. Volunteer to assist them. You will learn so much more about real life dentistry than you ever will from the dental school staff. Have a thick skin and be prepared to be put down and made to feel useless. If you secure a job prior to graduation DO NOT tell anyone as many faculty demonstrators will be bitter and start to look for more reasons to mark you down. The best demonstrators are those private practitioners that demonstrate 1 day a week or so. Dental school sucked, full stop. So glad it is over ( 17 years ago )!

Your video was so helpful for me! Thanks for making it :)

so excited to study dentistry

Soo helpful thanks dr Wendy

Can you make a video talking more about your letter of recommendations and your personal statement? :)

After 4 years of being dental students.. everything becomes boring.. no excitement anymore just want to finish my quota and get out of this school

DETROIT MERCY YESSS!! GO TITANS!

Could you please make a video on how to write a good personal statement please! Thank you. :D

Hey I’m a sophomore high school student and I really want to become a dentist but I don’t know how much gpa do I have to get to get in dental school

Can you give me tips on how to come back from failing 70% of my classes my first year of undergrad? I took classes later and began to finally get almost straight A's (some B's +) but those F's still haunt me. Is there still a chance that I can get into dental school later down the line? Pls help!!

Hi Dr. Wendy, so I'm a sophomore in college and I want to become a dentist but I'm not good in math nor science. And I don't want to major in any of the main sciences such as physics and chemistry. I see myself working as a dentist but I'm lacking the confidence? HELP ME!

Hi I am currently 29 with a Bachelors in accounting. Is it too late to take the science pre reqs and get into dental school? I have no healthcare experience. All I can do at the moment is work as an orthodontist assistant with on the job training.

I’m still I kid but I really want to be a dental so my question is what should I try to focus on in school

What’s a base minimum GPA to get into dental school?

Hi! From philippines and I will be graduation senior high soon!! Wish me luck and what are the basic tools or things that a student must have when taking dentistry?

Currently attending school to become a dental assistant in tx graduation December 16,2017

I'm applying this upcoming cycle! Tips on personal statement please! :D

Out of the schools that you interviewed at how many did you get accepted to?

What is the process from high school to dentistry

hey wendy, if i become a dental hygienist with an associate degree how much longer would it take me to become a dentist? Is me attending community college going to effect my chances of joining dental school?

Dental School's accept AS Degree or BS Degree in Dental Hygiene as the underdegree major?

i don't want to be a dentist and in fact i have a massive phobia/fear of dentists but i still love your videos lol

How did you even get into dental school with a 3.4 and only a week of shadowing a dentist

I have a friend who plans on going into medical school. She recently had to drop pre-med due to a scheduling conflict at our school. She found this graduate school that is allowing her to go in as a graduate student and by just taking the GRE, but by her second year if she keeps a certain GPA they are going to transfer her to their medical school. I was wondering if there are any dental school like this?

can a person become a dentist and at the same time a doctor of another profession like brain?.

Can I get into Dental school with 3.0 GPA (both cumulative and science)? my GPA is not as good right now, what can I do beside increasing my GPA? How else can I make m application look standing while applying?

Why you don’t upload new one!

Do I need to have a bachelors to apply ? Or can i just apply after high school ??

i'm a junior in high school and i really want to become a dentist but it seems really expensive and difficult . to add on top, it seems really long .

can you make a video about income and student debt from dental school?

I'm currently doing a smdep program in Columbia unversity this summer it is a dental internship I'm going to see how it feels to be a dental student and I'm going to take classes. how long did you study for the dat

I am still pursuing my undergrad, how ever I'm am having major anxiety on what I need to do to prepare for dental school. What would you suggest as far as joining clubs and outside internships, how can I increase my chances? I'm actually in Florida @Dr.Wendy

Thank you so much for this video, it was reassuring for me as an international student. I was wondering if you could share how you went about creating your personal statement and including various undergrad experiences. I am also struggling to get letters of recommendation, any advice?

Yes please-read your personal statement to us!

you need to have an interview test for entering a university? I was granted free admission into my dental school, they selected it based from my high school performances... no test no nothing. But again different country, different system ofc. I wish all the best for those who are going to the dental school. Good luck.

I am going to be applying next cycle and I was wondering if you would please read my personal statement and give me feedback on it?

Hey Dr Wendy, did you apply to Nova Scotia's Dalhousie Dentistry? Any thoughts on their dental program?

Can u get into dental school without doing leadership activities . Please reply cause I wanna be a dentist but I have anxiety . So I have a hard time doing something that requires to lead .

I am a Canadian as well! I'm currently at UofT and will be applying next year. Where did you go to school?

Similar to your story, I also discovered my interest in dentistry really late. Did you have any classmates that applied late into the cycle around August? Would you advise applying next cycle instead of applying late summer? Also, when you interviewed, did the interviewers question your experience in the dental field since you only had one week experience? Thank you so much!

Hi Dr. Wendy, I am a York U student and I've always wanted to go into dentistry. The only things is, I am not undergoing a Bsc, however I heard that depending on the school you do not necessarily have to have a Bsc degree just as long as you take the dental pre-reqs. Do you think it is still possible to get into dental school for my case?

What major did you do? What do you recommend?

Hi Dr Wendy so i'm 17 and starting a dental hygiene program in the fall, do you think doing dental hygiene as a pre dental major will help or hurt my chances to get into dental school?

I really want to be a dentist but there are many things that is stopping me to be one like I'm not really smart and I'm afraid that my classmate are so smart so I'm afraid to be left behind, dentistry is so expensive and we don't have enough money and applying a scholarship will be hard for me because I'm not smart, and lastly, the dental equipments are expensive too! Dentistry means money : ((((

What classes do you need to take in order to get into dental school?

Great video!🙌🏻

I live in British columbia, canada I'm going into grade 12 and wanted to know if it matters what your grade 11 grades are(i got almost Cs and Bs because i had a really tough time) but i did good on the previous year having almost all A. I do plan on working harder than i ever will and am trying to compensate for the lack of motivation i did on my school work. I'm really scare dbecause i screwed up so bad but i do know I really want to study science and become a dentist

I've been to more than one very poor dentists, are the standards low or can anyone be a dentist? I'd love to know this cause I am a bit disappointed. I liked your presentation. Thanks much.

Hi

Should I shadow a dentist even though I'm barely going to be a college freshman in the fall?

Hello Dr. Wendy,I'm interested in knowing if I should send in my application without my DAT scores? I'm planning on taking it sometime at the end of this month or in July.

I'm thinking of being a dentist but i have a serious blood phobia. Do you think i can overcome it?

What did you major in?

I am really confused on how a high schooler can apply for the seven years program. Do i apply after i get into the college or do i apply for the program when i apply for college? And do you have any recommendations for a high schooler?

would there be any point to try and go back to school and be a dentist at 33 with no highschool

personal statement please!!

Ok so I have a problem and maybe you could help me. I'm 26 I am married with a 6 year old. Back when had our child I made the mistake of going to beauty school. I took me forever due to several surguries and it knocked me out of my grant. So now I'm in debt with school but I did finish I actually took the test 3 times and failed. Back in High school I wasn't considered an over achiever. In fact I'm not even sure of my gpa average I obviously managed to get my diploma but I didn't really push myself back then because I didn't know my options my parents are middle class workers and they do well for themselves but I would love to do better. I've been thinking about our future lately and I feel like being a dentist would actually be a really great income even though it takes 4-6 years. I figured we've struggled this long better four more years than for the rest of our lives. But due to having a family probably gonna have to definitely work as well I would like to know pretty much should I chance it? For me being a dentist would be perfect the money the hours the fact that I wouldn't be under anyone. But I'm unsure even if I did chance it what my chances would be to get in.

please, I am trying to decide my career and I love football and I adore the medical career I had great markes this year and I can easily be accepted in a medical college and I am a good footballer am 18 so can I study medicine while playing this sport ?!! or how much free time I get daily in medical school and still get good marks?!!

I am definitely interested in your personal essay. Please.

Beauty!

Loved the video! Is there any way you could answer a question I have based on living expenses. I was just wondering how are you paying those expenses and while not being able to hold a job in Dental school?

What is the shortest time it takes to become a dentist and can u just tell me the steps to take like what to study in college and stuff I really need help

If you do not mind me asking how you when you graduated dental school?

I want to apply for dental school as well. I live in California. What would you recommend for me?

rather than doing alot of different things, wouldn't it be better to do a few things really well with alot of investment?

Great video! Can you please read your letter of recommendation! Thanks!

Do you think it matters what college you went to? also, I've heard you have advantage if you are a minority, is it true?

Hi can you make a video on how to approach the diversity question for secondaries? Thanks :)
