My wife is finishing her prerequisites for Dentistry and for her birthday I purchased her just about every 5-Star book that had anything to do with Dentistry. This one she could not put down and it was written in a way that guides, explains, and sets expectations. Highly recomended per her, and she's a scientist!

Have been reading this for quite a while now, and it's pretty helpful! It's a little vague in certain parts and sometimes it can be self-explanatory (ie. begin studying early for your DAT) but its given me a MUCH better understanding of how the DAT works, what's on it, and how to get into dental schools; as well as a comprehensive list of the dental colleges in America. It was VERY HELPFUL, no book is perfect so it doesn't have ALL the answers; but I would totally recommend again!

Not worth reading. There were many typos that made me think this book was just thrown together. Information was very shallow. This didn't help me at all with getting into dental school.

If you're looking for pre-dental school advice I would suggest looking at online forums, not this book.

3.0 out of 5 stars A good pre-dental book.
Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2006

Well, if you're a serious pre-dent, you'd know there's not much as far as pre-dental books go.

This book and a few others are the choices. You can find a lot of info online theres even an online forum called student doctor network (google studentdoctor its the 1st listing). Good for pre-anything medical.

Pros: It gives some of the 'tricks' to the DAT. Some good info that will save time and some very good strategies on what to look for and mistakes to avoid. The author states at the end of the book that he was in the 97th percentile for the DAT and helped administer and consult for the DAT after he was a dentist. So, some good info you won't find elsewhere.

Cons:... well, this book sorely needs and edit or two. For being in the 97th percentile and a top scholar since highschool you'd think the author would remember his English classes and would've given this book a proofread. Not completely up to date on all the dental schools in America... I noted that it does not include the Arizona School of Dentistry.

There are some typo's, some poor grammar, and some improper formatting in places... one example, a sentence is broken in half at the end of a paragraph, and the second half is indented and starts the next paragraph.

Overall... If you're a predent, there isn't much in the way of pre-den't materials on the market. This is one of the best you have available, which isn't saying much. What this book offers that makes it worth buying is the DAT info. Serious pre-dents should study for the MCAT and add a few DAT reviews for the perceptual ability section of the DAT.

If you're willing to put up with the editing problems, you'll gain some valuable info on the DAT. If this book had an edit or two, I'd probably give it 4 or 5 stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars From the author...
Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2004
I'm not sure who the writer of the review for 3 stars is, but I'm not sure if he actually read my book. Of course the basic information is in there! Did you miss all the other chapters that dealt with the entire application and testing process from start to finish? You'd be surprised at how many applicants are not sure even where to begin. This book was written with the average dental school applicant in mind. Every chapter deals with information and tips that will definitely help the dental school applicant in their journey.
There are no tricks or sales gimicks (such as the e-book that has been promoted below) used to entice applicants to purchase this book. Keep in mind, that NONE OF THIS INFORMATION IS SECRET. You are paying for an expert opinion, and for the convenience of having a large amount of information condensed into a book.
In response to the anonymous reviewer below, I'm not sure what real life tips you are referring to, but I've tried my best to cover the areas that will be important to the average dental school applicant. Having gone through the entire process, and having seen what works and doesn't work (both as a predental and dental student, as well as, one of the few DAT test preparation instructors in Michigan), I feel well-qualified to put my observations in print.
To potential customers, if you want an easy to follow guide to help you prepare for entrance into dental school, then my book is for you. If you want a focused guide that is PRINTED IN A PAPERBACK FORMAT (not an e-book file), that will answer many of your inevitable questions, then my book is for you. If you want to spend a bundle of money and squint at a computer screen for many hours, then follow the advice below.
May God bless your efforts! The dental horizon is only growing brighter!
