That is it, folks. I applied to dental school this evening, and I am absolutely ecstatic that I can take a break for awhile. Of course I cannot completely relax because I will need to visit the dental schools I applied to, and I need to fill out some supplementary materials. But, the hard part is over, and I could not be happier.
Now it is time to catch up with all the people I have neglected for the last month. It will be great to get back in touch and start to once again be me.
The purpose of this blog is to write about my preparation for dental school and some thoughts on the dental world in general. Undoubtedly, some random, completely unrelated things will be written here, but dentistry will always be the focus.

DAT Done!
Wow, I cannot believe it has been almost a month since my last post. Truth be told, I have done little else than study and living in general. It paid off today: I scored a 20 on my DAT.
Now, it is is not the most incredible score, but it gives me a great shot of getting into a lot of the schools that I would be interested in attending. Sure, Harvard. UCLA, and Columbia are out of the question, but I could not care less. As someone once told me, "Greg, all you need to do is get in to dental school."
I still have a lot to do on my application, mainly my personal statement. Hopefully, I can get a rough draft written soon and then have a few people look over it. Ideally, I would like to get it out by June 16th, leaving me a good chance of getting interviews in December.
For now, though, I will take it easy. I am exhausted.
