It's almost August...Still no word from schools. I'm guessing I'm out of the running for the Class of 2017. I knew my chances where slim when I didn't hear any offers in December 2012, but I still held on to that small chance that I could get in this year and left the country to find myself and discover, once again, if this is what I wanted to do.
While I have reassured myself that I want to become a dentist, I have found myself in a rut that will set me back another two years. Even then, I can't guarantee myself a spot in a dental school, anywhere.
Obviously, I have not applied in this cycle. I don't think I can...I would if I could, but I have no personal statement, no letter writers, and not a lot to hold up a new app. But I am preparing myself, mentally, to apply again in June 2014.
If I don't get in this year, please give me the strength to withstand the family members and friends who question my decisions and ask why I am not doing anything for my future. I have finally got my mind on straight and am not ready to face interrogation of people who will only bring me down.

DeleteThanks for your kind words, especially in what you deleted. It's encouraging! I actually just returned from a six-month journey traveling and found myself coming back to dentistry... :)
