Top 3 Pre-Dental Websites

It seems like pre-dental students are always looking for good helpful websites to aid in their quest to become dental students. As many of you may have already found out it is very difficult to find resources that give you the information you are looking for. What I have done is used my knowledge, along with recommendation of other dental students, to find the most helpful websites available to pre-dental students. Without further adieu I present to you the "Top 3 Pre-Dental Websites" of 2012.

1. ADA.org: If you are just starting to look into applying to dental school or becoming a pre-dental student then you should spend a small amount of time browsing the ADA website. The ADA provides information on numerous subjects such as "Be a Dentist" for high school students and college students, dental school admissions, DDS/DMD programs, and Dental Admission Test. This is a small sample of what the ADA has to offer. Be sure to take the time to look around as some of the information provided can be a game changer.

2. Student Doctor Network: This website is by far the most helpful resource that a pre-dental student could ask for. The value comes from the ability to interact in a forum format. This means that you can read questions, information, and insights by hundreds of pre-dental students that are going through the same thing you are. Students on this website are more than happy to answer your questions along with posting information that helped them successfully gain acceptance to dental school. There is no possible way that I could possibly convey to you the helpfulness of this site. Check it out for yourself!


3. PreDents.com: PreDents is a great way for you to compare your statistics with others. Each student can create an account that allows him or her to input their statistics along with which schools they are applying to, interviewed at, and accepted to. What does all of this do for you? First off, I used this site to check out what schools I actually have a chance at. Yes, the ADA does put out some statistics that help but this way you can see the exact statistics of specific students. Secondly, if you ever wonder when interviews are being handed out or rejections this site allows for you to see the progress of other students thus enabling you to know whether schools are handing out interviews, rejections, or acceptances. A great supplement to Student Doctor Network.

Honorable Mentions


DentalDadDiaries.com: Take a glimpse into the life of a current dental student as he shares his experience with the world. You will see a variety of posts that include everything from descriptions of exams to detailed examples of projects that you will be working on in dental school.

DMDStudent.com: This is another website created by a student. There is a lot of information pertaining to dental school projects which makes this another great place for you to see what you will be doing in dental school. In addition, this website also contains some helpful information for the dental application such as example personal statements that were written and used by real applicants.

PreDDS.net: If you are looking for more information and about studying for the DAT or applying to dental school you may want to check this website out. Unfortunately, not all of the information or helpful resources are free on this website but still well worth a look.

Stu-DentDiaries.com: This is yet another website created by a student. You will find a lot of examples of what you will be doing in dental school here. Although very similar to the other student websites mentioned it is definitely worth a look. If nothing else it just gets you excited to go to dental school and could add a little more motivation to work hard.

Post your favorite pre-dental websites in the comment section below. I know that there are a lot of helpful resources out there so be sure to share them with the pre-dental community!
