Science GPA 3.2
Overall GPA 3.7
DATs: AA 20 TS 22 PAT 22
Got a BTL from yeshiva, Orgo and physics were hard but doable. If your niece lives in the Tri-State area I would HIGHLY recommend she take the DAT studying course given by Dr. Jim Romano out in Staten Island!!

Undergrad and the application process/requirements can be a very daunting task (obviously nothing compared to actual dental school). But with hard work and perseverance, this goal is highly achievable. Make sure she does plenty of shadowing and observation, and not just at her local orthodontist and pediatric dentist. Make sure she volunteers in lots of extra curricular activities and organizations! God luck to her and please don't hesitate if you have any more questions. Happy to return the favor in honor of all those who helped me!

Oh, and just to toot my own horn I was also accepted to Touro but I live in Maryland...in-state tuition and all...

What were your thoughts of the GPR program? I interviewed there a few weeks ago, wasn’t too impressed
