You will definitely stand out with this background as well! Let me know if you ever have any questions or if there is anything I can do to help you on your path!

ngl, I saw the 15-minute long video and didn't think I'd watch the whole thing. Your editing and the video content was AMAZING. I never lost interest... (writing this as I prepare to follow an accelerated dental pathway...)

Omg Alle!!! That’s the best compliment EVER whenever I edit these videos I’m always thinking “man I hope I’m not boring them...” so thank you so much, that means so much to me 🥺💕 let me know if you ever have any questions or anything that I can help with! 🥰 excited to see your journey to becoming a dentist!!

I'm glad that I saw your video. I actually wanted to study pharmacy but I got accepted into dental medicine and I was down in the dumps honestly. I was glad that I was even accepted because the exams I took to enter the university were difficult as fuck. I was thinking about switching from dental medicine to pharmacy but I might reconsider it

Hey Dari, thanks so much for reaching out! What are some of the reasons you are interested in Pharmacy? And reasons you are interested in dentistry?

@dari2084 2 жыл бұрын

@@justaquickpinch I get stressed for the smallest things and that's what worried me more about dentistry. Because I'll be responsible of other people. But I like the profession because of my own dentist. I had switched a few until finally finding the right one. I know that a lot of people are afraid of dentists and if I become one I want to show them that there's nothing to be afraid of. And about pharmacy, I think I preferred it to dentistry because the work in a pharmacy won't be as stressful from what I've been told by acquaintances. Thanks for replying!

It was interesting hearing your story. I am also going to pharmacy school this year, but I am also thinking about changing to dental school. I just got some question. Has pharmacy school made it easier for you in dental school and also does your degree make it easier to find a job? Is it worth it to take both degrees, I think both are quite interesting however I would go with dental if I had to choose. Sorry for the long comment, I am just out of high school and wanted to reflect a bit on my future.

Thank you! I feel less lonely... and am so amazed to see how passionate you are about finding your own identity, it is important... am just curious to know if a foreign PharmD graduate is able to study DDS in the USA?

Aww this is so sweet to hear, thank you! Yes you totally can as long as you take the necessary pre-requisite classes for each school!

Great video, so positive!! How was/were the dental school interviews ? Did they ask about pharmacy school and reasoning for the switch?

@justaquickpinch 3 жыл бұрын

Interviews were so much fun, probably the best part of the whole process! It's all just about being yourself and seeing if you're a good fit for the school - i actually met so many of my current classmates at Tufts at my interview/interviews at other schools too! They asked and most places were pretty supportive and encouraging, though one place GRILLED me about it - though in hindsight i think the interviewer was just trying to see how I handled criticism under pressure haha

can you do a video on finances!!! i'm scared of student loans!!

Yes that’s a great idea!! 🤩 I’ll definitely try to prep a video on that, it’s one of the most intimidating parts but knowledge is truly power and once you learn more about it the process feels a lot less stressful and scary! Thank you so much for watching, I appreciate you taking the time to comment an idea! 🥰💕

Wow, what I’ve noticed, too, is that most of the clinical teaching staff use their egos to fuel their desire to continue their profession. I don’t think any of those people are truly passionate about being a human computer about those reactions and details of drugs. It’s a title driven concentration in my opinion, and I’m intrigued at where it will go.

I have Org Chem 2 & MicroBio left (pharmacy pre-reqs), do you know how many more classes Dental school would require me to do? Just late night thinking..

@justaquickpinch 3 жыл бұрын

Hahah oh I totally feel you on that late night thinking 😂 so for me at least pharmacy prereqs covered all the ones I needed for dental school except physics I and II so I had to take those over the summer. It also depends on the specific dental school you apply to so check their website first!
