[@LauraSmiles]

The ADEA Guide to Dental Schools is the best! Your video is super detailed - v helpful!

[@jackhansmiles]

Thank you Laura! It is, read it to myself as my bedtime story every night :)

[@lilyfeng7385]

I love how detailed this video is :).

[@jackhansmiles]

Thanks for noticing Lily! I try my best :)

[@laurenelizabeth2100]

All great advice! Always a great idea to call the school and get a better idea of the types of stats you really need!

[@jackhansmiles]

Totally agree! Not enough people do so! :)

[@zaminahmed297]

@@jackhansmiles So the website wouldn't be updated? What about email because when I called they wouldn't answer lol?

[@joeyttran]

This video saved me so much time trying to find what I need to know! THANK YOU

[@jackhansmiles]

Hi Joseph I'm glad I could help you! :)

[@JBRODUCTION]

dope quality and great presentation. heard about you from steven lu (umich). looking forward to more content on your dental journey jack

[@jackhansmiles]

Oh hi! Wow fan girling a little over here! I love your videos man going to send you a DM! :)

[@akashpatil7474]

I'm so glad admission procedures are much easier and quick in india. Haha. But you explain the whole scenario so well jack. Nice work bro!🤜🏼🤛🏼

[@jackhansmiles]

Hey Akash what is the procedure like in India? Thank you so much bro much love :)

[@akashpatil7474]

@@jackhansmiles haha. Quite simple actually, just clear pre med exams, and set up a good preference list to choose from dental schools all over the County. But there are soo many variables that go into the admission process.☺️

[@estrimiluka2095]

“You’re thinking if the dental school is going to be worth 1 lamborghini... or 2 lamborghinis” LMAOO I died 😭😭😭 too real

[@jackhansmiles]

The prices are really getting ridiculous I just read an article that says NYU is going to cost over $673,000. Check it out! www.studentloanplanner.com/nyu-dental-school-tuition-out-control/

[@idirisibrahim3349]

😂😂 Dental School applications are the biggest finesse. But congrats on your acceptance man definitely worth the money.

[@jackhansmiles]

I agree there is some finessing that is required haha. Thank you, I think so too!

[@sunshinesince99]

A very informative and interesting video!! 😃

[@jackhansmiles]

Thank you Bebe! :)

[@Rinadarl]

Is there a easier way of knowing whether schools are grade or P/F based? Thanks for the tips! They are compiled nicely and well explained.

[@jackhansmiles]

Hey Rina, here is a list! www.perio.org/sites/default/files/files/PDFs/Postdoc%20Education/ADEA%20Grading%20Resource%20Guide.pdf Also it should include UNE as well as OHSU!

[@Rinadarl]

jack han thank you! It seems like there are only 8 schools listed here, so for the other dental schools I guess it’s best if I call the school to find out? I found it quite difficult to online-search for their grading system.

[@jackhansmiles]

Hi Rina, yes I found it difficult to find as well! Those might be all of them but I feel like there should be more! Definitely call and double check!

[@veronicas17]

It’s actually insane how you spent $6k on just application fees (but makes sense since you applied to 30 different schools). Overall all the points you described were very comprehensive and helpful. Great video Jack, I cannot wait for the next :)

[@jackhansmiles]

It is insane but also you have to put it into perspective. What if the $3000 extra a used to apply to 15 schools allowed me to go to a school where the cost of attendance is $100,000 lower than another one? Thank you for the comment Veronica! :)

[@e7hos]

i had so much trouble getting accepted into dental school especially since i never applied

[@jackhansmiles]

Yeah most people who don't apply unfortunately dont get in! Have to get that application in!

[@Rinadarl]

@@jackhansmiles loving the humor in this section

[@Greeneggsandham123]

During the interviews, do they want you to bring your art work? Proof of hand dexterity?

[@Greeneggsandham123]

Stupid question. Do you think it will count against a person if their teeth are straight but yellowish in an interview? I’m I being judged by my teeth?

[@arianfernandez7915]

Canon gaaaannggg

[@jackhansmiles]

Have to hand it to the Canons. I love them.

[@gavinjia4937]

Where can we find the specialization rate for each school?

[@jackhansmiles]

Hi Gavin! The specialization rate can be difficult to find. Your best bet is calling the school to ask, google, SDN, and/or word of mouth. The Ivy leagues give out more specific specialization rates and seem to be easier to get!

[@nazz8417]

Hey Jack, thanks for the great video! I just have a quick question, is it ok to spend 3-5 years to get my bachelors degree before I apply to my dental school??! And the reason why I want to do that is bec there are so many pre reqs for my major and for my dental school that I need to take!😭😭😭

[@jackhansmiles]

Yeah you actually need to have a bachelors degree!! Take care of those pre reqs!!

[@shriyasingi5245]

Where can we find the class demographic/profile??

[@Joycethedentist]

hehe i applied to 1 school. those application fees areeee nutssssssssssssssssss!

[@jackhansmiles]

The perks of knowing you want to be a dentist in highschool, you're so ahead! :)

[@andrew-isac]

Can you recommend which schools are best training you as a competent general dentist not as a specialist ?

[@tiffanychen9847]

Thank you for these videos! What is the best way for us to research clinical requirements for each school?

[@jackhansmiles]

Hi Tiffany! What do you mean by clinical requirements?

[@tiffanychen9847]

@@jackhansmiles like how many crowns/dentures/procedures/etc. students will have to do in order to graduate. I guess I am looking for a more concrete way of assessing how much clinical exposure I will be getting. Any tips on that?

[@lewisculver2666]

Do you think that there are any schools that would offer a scholarship to a student with a 23 DAT and a 3.7 GPA?

[@jackhansmiles]

Hi Lewis, to be honest I do not know too much about scholarships but if I had to guess I would say yes. From what I know 10-20% of the incoming class gets some type of scholarship, there is not that many!

[@lewisculver2666]

jack han Thank you for the response! I am applying for the HPSP as well, but the debt levels are so concerning that I want to find as many opportunities as possible to keep it low.

[@jackhansmiles]

@@lewisculver2666 Yeah that would be the best one to get if you are accepted and I would apply as well if I was American! It definitely is!

[@DrSimranSinghDDS]

Bro I had to record one of my videos twice last week cuz I accidentally deleted it LMAO

[@jackhansmiles]

WHAT. That's even worse! Way to one up me haha
