Thank you so much for this video it’s really inspiring! I noticed you said you graduated 2013 for bachelors and 2017 for masters. During your masters did you apply during or post graduation for dental admissions? And I’m assuming with the 3 year difference did you have a gap year followed by 2 year masters program?

Was your DAT score still valid? I’ll be graduating undergrad in May and I took the DAT on May 14th 2022. If I end up doing a 2 year masters wouldn’t my scores be invalid and then I’d need to take it again while finishing the masters program? Thank you.
@SmilesforYoo Жыл бұрын
Hello, Thankfully, my DAT score was still valid. They typically stay valid through three years from the time you take it. I happened to take mine just three years before graduating from my masters program. If I did not get into dental school that same year I was graduating my masters program, I would have had to retake it.

I hear it takes some getting used to. There are some things in dentistry that requires a little bit of bad ergo. Like when you're searching around for an implant abutment via open tray technique.

Hi Dr. Yoo! Honestly, your video inspired me to continue keep going for my path towards dental school! I just graduated this year majoring in biochem and am thinking of starting post-bacc program in UCLA extension. Then, I’m planning to apply to dental school next year’s cycle in June. My overall GPA is okay, but my science GPA wouldn’t be like that(especially for lower div core requirements like gen chem and gen bio), and that’s why I’m considering doing the post-bacc. Do you think UCLA extension would be a good choice for post-bacc program? Thank you so much :)
