December 1st

December 1st.

It's a magical day for pre-dental students who are applying to dental school. It's the first day that they will know whether or not they have been accepted into dental school. The USC Dental School Admission officers came to our general meeting tonight to personally hand out acceptance letters.

Somehow, I feel like my main concern is not whether I will get into dental school or not. My main problem is whether I should apply to dental school. Unlike many others, I don't have relatives in the industry. When I graduate, I won't have an associate position or partnership waiting for me. It's going to be a long uphill climb to pay off dental school debt.

If I go to medical school, life will be a lot easier after I graduate. The hardest part will be the process of getting in to medical school and getting through medical school.

What a dilemma...
