DENTAL SCHOOL ADMISSIONS DECISIONS - WHY DID I APPLY TO 30 SCHOOLS? // JACK HAN 2020 

Got you Simran, your videos definitely will help people so glad to share! I hope so man, I am keeping optimistic that things will go back to normal by September for you and I both.

Hi Lauren! You have such a kind soul thank you so much for the compliment! What grad school did you end up applying too? Much love :)

Look at us, a Cambodian and Canadian taking on America. Yeah, I was high key shaking my head as well. Thank you! :)

Hi Laura!!!I loooove you and Jack!!!

@@jackhansmilesCanadian..but Chinese

Thank you Akash! I always try to be honest and open. It has gotten me in trouble before but I am glad it is working out here!

Thank you so much! International students have a lot more uncertainty about applications so glad this could help out!

Aww thank you Sonny, means a lot! Quality over quantity and that is just how youtube goes! :)

Hi Lily ditto! I appreciate all of you who watch, if it wasn’t for all of you, there would be no videos! :)

You're very welcome Estri! :)

Waiting for decision day was the most difficult thing to do but made the positive news that much sweeter. Thank you so much Clay :)

Heyyy we are both in the applied to lots of school gang! Congrats on USC though! :)

To be honest I am! Thank you, I try to be. You and I both :)

Hi, thank you so much! Wow that is so nontraditional but if it is your dream I'm routing for you 100%! Goodluck and keep in touch!

Hey Irene your comment really made me smile! :) It is amazing that you are immersing yourself in dentistry already and getting prepared! You're welcome, I'm glad my videos can help you on your journey!

I just realized you had a second portion to your comment I didn’t see! I will definitely be making videos that will answer those questions or related to those topics, thank you for the suggestions!

Thank you for noticing Dua! :)

Thank you Sonia! Authentic vibes only :)

Glad it was helpful!

Hi Sai! Keep your head up, nothing you can do now other than sending letters of interest! I applied to all of my schools pre December, most of them around end of July. Most of my interviews were pre December but you applied later than I did so don't stress too much!

Hi Tiffany, glad my videos help you! I applied to so much so I did not do a lot of research before applying so just went based off of the book and applying where I thought I had a chance. I applied to all the ones in California because my family lives over here and other than that just applied where I had a chance! Do research on SDN though, learned a lot on there!

Hey Darquez glad you enjoyed the video! It definitely is not a cheap book. I should be able to find it at home but do not have it right now. If you want I can try to find it late march and send it to you however I also would recommend a newer edition since mine is a few years old! Let me know what you want to do, happy to help you out! :)

Yeah you are allowed to apply to as many as you want! I know that Canada has a deal with Australia and a some parts in Europe where you can study there and still work immediately in Canada! Woah 5 years I didn’t know that!

Hi Sanders, it cost around $3000 for the primary application HOWEVER every school will require you to fill out or pay for a secondary application that will run around $50-$150 so in total the cost was around $5000-$6000. Hope this helps and good luck!

Yes you are correct! Thank you for pointing that out

Hi! It is important but more important is what you do at your school! Yes, if your parents are still in Canada. They can act as a cosigner. If not, then you need to find one!

Unfortunately, they do not tell you the reason why. All I received was... "Thank you for your interest in the University of Detroit Mercy School of Dentistry. Over the past several years we have had a large number of highly qualified candidates applying to our program, and this year was no exception. As part of our admissions process we review all completed applications, as well as those applications that are near completion, in order to identify qualified candidates to interview for a position in our Class of 2024. Along with a thorough review of each candidate’s academic qualifications as demonstrated by transcripts and DAT performance, we assess the candidate’s non-cognitive attributes including experiences in the dental field, life experiences, volunteerism and leadership. Based on this review, the Dental Admissions Committee must make the difficult decision on a limited number of interview invitations. We have reviewed your application, but I regret to inform you that we are unable to offer you an interview for this year’s admissions cycle. All decisions are non-negotiable. We thank you for your interest in our program and appreciate the hard work and dedication that it has taken you to reach this level of academic achievement. We wish you all the best as you pursue your academic and professional goals in the future."

Hi Sarah I forgot the reason for sure but I’m not religious and you had to be religious to apply or it was just a religious school!

Hi thank you so much for the kind words, appreciate it! I actually did not but that video was clickbait, the 2.93 I got was just in my worst semester. My GPA when applying was 3.54. Hope this helps. :)

Overall! Science is around 3.5 as well!

You caught me! I meant to say University of New England, Northeastern does not have a dental school!

No the camera I used actually automatically shuts off after 20 minutes but the audio was still recording on my external mic connected to my laptop! New camera coming in this week so wont have that problem for the next video!

Hi Moumita! I just looked over the stats and demographic for that school and am surprised I didn't apply as well. I might of had a reason at the time, good catch

Hey Anna! It varies by school but I would say your GPA is only around 33% of your applications! So many different factors to work on for your application :)

@@jackhansmiles True but GPA is probably one of hardest aspects that can not substitute with fluff or exagerantion as is a numerical fact.

hmmm anything you do now will most likely be for peace of mind! Wait and try to distract yourself! :)

Overall but science was not too far lower! :)

Congratulations! Im sure it has to be your greatest achievement to date ;)

That is what I kept telling myself when applying last year hahaha

That may be true but there are soooo many different factors its never guarentee! :)

I blame the sun
