 Generic information; better off research on your own online, July 26, 2009
By Ping King

This book gives very general information with no details. The author is an old timer who is obviously under-informed about the new computer-based DAT and online application. I would rather go to Student Doctor Network and get more current and specific information about the dental school application process. I would say this book is more inspirational in nature than informational.

I suggest that this book is valuable mainly for its interview tips. That portion of the book is extremely helpful!

Don't bother with this one, February 28, 2004
By H. Q. Latimer Dodds (Pedalto, North Dakota)

Dentistry is the epitomy of aesthetics and sport, the last frontier of plate tectonics if you will. To expect anything other than pure tooth decay from an uncertified mouth doc is being severly optimistic and outright outlandish. Prefer to go to school if you're able, and take a look at a few books if you have the time. This particular specimin can only be valued for its list of third world dentistry schools for the super dunces who have their hearts set on drilling and filling for the rest of their lives. Ougadougu University in Burkina Faso does have a top rate program, unfortunately in this country they still perform vivisection, and for dentists, that means no laughing gas and no skull models, you get a live student for your entire studies. If you accidentally kill him or her you must pay a small fee. Schools to steer clear of are La Universidad Del Diente de Tegucigalpa, Honduras, Lake Baikal School of Dentistry and Horse Medicine, The Skojpe Institute for Cosmetology and Dental Technology, and NYU.
If you are not a good student and are planning to open an denists office in a low income neighborhood, school and certification might not be the right choice for you. The bottom line to any dental degree is that its a pain in the ass, expensive, and extremely boring,and certification is just a safety net, especially in the ghetto, where the surgeon general could really give a damn about what's going on.
Just don't do anything stupid like sell lizards out of your office.

An easy read but not very useful, February 06, 2004
By A customer
|
|
This book is an easy read, however, much of the information is out of date. The book was written in 1999 and many things have changed since then. Also, the author has never applied to dental school and therefore doesn't really explain the ins and outs of the dental school application process. If you want to get accepted to dental school, check out the Ultimate Dental School Admission Guide instead at [...] Just my 2 cents.

help guide, October 10, 2002

There is some information in this book that you might find helpful if you have other books to fill in the gaps. I found that this book was written with the assumption that the DAT in identical to the MCAT. (IT ISN"T!!!!!) She tells you to study stuff that won't be on the DAT....(e.g physics, discribes the process of testing as though it was also the same as MCAT.)
I wouldn't recommend this book if it is the only book you are going to buy. But if you just want to get an idea of what might be needed, then it will lead you in the general direction.
