Hi everyone, I haven't posted around in a good while things have been kind of busy, but I haven't forgotten about SDN. I just wanted to share some news with all, I am so happy to go to college in the fall and have payed my deposit at my university, and committed myself to their joint BS/DMD program with NYU, and I can't wait. I know I have probably missed a lot of cool new threads and posts and stuff, has anyone else made up their minds about which school they are going too/ plans?
 
Congratulations!! Especially on that joint program--wow! 😀

I still haven't made my mind up and am worried sick about acceptances/rejections...which should be arriving soon! They drag this process out to no end. 🙄
 
Congrats! Remmeber , the joint program is not easy or guaranteed...so in fact my advice is...if they force you to major in Bio, like the 7 year Optometry program i got accepted to...and Bio is not what you want to do , DONT do it. From what i have learned, those BS/DDS or BS/OD programs require you to maintain a very good GPA and have good DAT scores....so essentially, even if you were not in the program you are still a competitive applicant.

Though the BS/DDS will help you remmber to not do anything you dont want to unless your comfortable with everything, if thats the case give your 110%

Congratulations, love! Fantastic job! I'd love to college in New York--unfortunately, I'll be going to a little liberal arts school in Ohio. 'Cause, y'know, a full ride is a full ride. If all goes according to plan, I'll double-major in biology and computer science and then... go to med school, with any luck.
 
Hey man, congrats! Do you get any scholarship money? I know NYU is pretty expensive for dental school, not sure about medical school.
 
Thanks so much everyone! I see many new ppl, I need to friend them all. X) As far as scholarship money goes I have a full ride for undergrad, and I still have to meet criteria to guarantee a spot at NYUCD (one of which includes an interview so nothings rly guaranteed anyway lol). The one thing im rly anxious about is getting a part time job in undergrad, preferablly at a dental office. I am worried there won't be many jobs for a recent high school graduate part time, i am not sure if I would be seen as qualified? What do you guys think.

Wow congrats on your full ride, u are lucky. I think small little schools are the best, seems more personal.

You are right, and I thought the same thing, u need to maintain a good GPA and take the DAT with good scores and do an interview, its almost like not being in the program, if that makes sense! But 7 years saves u 1 year at least.
