Thank you so much for making such a great video. it has given me a lot of hope and motivation to carry on in my preparation to apply to dental school. I am so happy that i came across this video, I have been through such hard time with school, and my gpa is terrible at the moment for so many reasons, I always feel like i shouldnt be applying to dental school cuz i am not worthy, but having to watch this amazing video with great information and advice and most importantly the realistic aspect of your advices. so many people have a 4.0 gpa or a bit less, and they talk about how hard it is to apply to dental school which makes me feel so down. Anyway i wish you all luck, and i will be watching more of your great videos.
I love that more and more low stats don’t define you. Im not a conventional candidate, my GPA is low(working on it) but I have a ton of experience in the dental field. And you give me a lot of motivation to keep going
Thank you for being honest and provided your score and GPA. A lot of people give advised but hide that information which we all itch to know to see where we stand ourselves.
Thank you for being so honest and thank you for being so willing to help us out with any questions and such. This is exactly what people that are interested in the dentistry field but have no one to guide them need. Very informative video thanks again.
I loved this video! I was on the verge of another nervous breakdown but after watching this I feel revitalized. I appreciate the advice you gave and the hope you've instilled in me and other viewers. Keep up the amazing work :)
Great video. Very informational. I'm an aspiring dentist currently still in my undergrad at CSU Long Beach. I've been through some highs and lows with school but I finally have my eyes set on being a dentist. You have given me hope because I'm currently on the lower end of the gpa spectrum but still competitive enough to hopefully get into a dental school. I feel I have a chance and you are proof of that. Thanks for the great video. Keep up the great work. Congrats on getting into dental school and I look forward to following your journey.
To add on with all the good comment ! I just want you to know you so down to earth ,so real ,so helpful helpful . Thank you so much for your taking your time to help other. God bless you!
This video is phenomenal! Everything was really well said and very motivating. I really appreciate you making this video because I myself want to be a dentist and sometimes lack guidance on how to go about things! Looking forward to future videos if possible! Best of luck in Dental School.
thank you for your honesty about your stats! it can be intimidating seeing mostly videos about those who had top scores... of course they are of value but to have a balance and better look at dental students and their stats is reassuring
Hey does anyone have an opinion on committee letters vs. individual letters? When applying you have the option of one letter from a dentist, and then either 3 individual letters or one committee letter. Which do you think is better?
Thank you Jordan for sharing your information and experience. Your video really helped me start thinking about how to prepare for dental school and inspired me a lot in many ways. People like you change the world. Thank you again and i wish you the best luck throughout your dental school or career or anything!! 😀😄😊
This is SUCH an amazing video and I would like to thank you so much for such a well thought out and helpful video. I can't wait to apply to dental school next June!! Thank you for starting this channel.
Hey Jordan! thank you for sharing your experience. I have a question about not letting stats let you down. So I am from Canada and I have a cgpa about 3.41 and 22AA I have shadowing and volunteering experience. Do you think I would have a chance at UPenn where the average cgpa they accept is around 3.7 ?
hi! new to the channel! congratulations on all your hard work! a few questions, if you wouldn’t mind answering for me! what are the requirements/price prior to taking the DAT? can you repeat the DAT/if so how many times? what’s the cost of the DAT? as far as dental school goes, what are the hours you attend/days of the week? i’m currently a rad tech but wanting to change my career path, curious if i would be able to work part time/prn while in DDS school. thank you!
Is it legal for a school to require a letter from a “spiritual advisor”? I’m an atheist and sure AF don’t have a “spiritual advisor” and think it’s kind’ve bullshit to require that.
Such a coincidence, I just received an interview to UNLV and I saw your post on SDN about how stressing out about the formula is ridiculous and I couldn't agree more. It made absolutely no sense if they'd bring people on their campus with lower stats to interview to end up rejecting them just because they did not meet a certain threshold.
Jordan Barnett No I’m a sophomore in high school interested in becoming a dentist. Just seems tough, I’d go in debt and would start working as a dentist till I’m 25/26 I assume.
Jordan Barnett Thanks for the advice! However I live in Kansas and the only in state dental school is UMKC which gives Kansas residents a “resident price”. I don’t know if it’s possible for me to go out of state.

Can you give me a ball park price so I can get an idea for under-grad and dental school combined. All of the information online is so vague and I like to understand what Ill be dealing with if I do choose to pursue dentistry. P.S thank you so much you are so helpful sine you are a student thx :)
~500k~ :O I don't know if I want to go into that much debt, Ill ask my high school councilor what would be the best option for me.Did you get some scholarships? Do you work while in dental school or is it to demanding?

Amazing video! Can you please make a video about how you studied for the DAT? Thank you!
Subscribed. Awesome video, I'm applying to dental schools this cycle and praying to god UoP invites me for an interview haha

Subscribed and liked! Can't wait for your future content!!
Hey Jordan! Did you attend Fresno state? I recognize the background and have spent many hours in those study rooms!
Jordan Barnett Yeah I'm pre-dental. Going into my sophomore year.
Hey Jordan! thank you for sharing your experience. I have a question about not letting stats let you down.

The best information ever
Hey, how do I approach dentists for asking to shadow them? For me it's literally nerve wracking,and don't know how to ask.
rsp 123 go to your own dentist first. I’ve found most are very willing to help.
I'm a dental assistant and I know if anyone called and asked to shadow, the doctor would totally say yes!
Wow amazing video!!
Does it matter where one go for undergraduate? Does it matter if the university is private or public?
hi! new to the channel! congratulations on all your hard work!
a few questions, if you wouldn’t mind answering for me!
what are the requirements/price prior to taking the DAT? can you repeat the DAT/if so how many times? what’s the cost of the DAT?
as far as dental school goes, what are the hours you attend/days of the week? i’m currently a rad tech but wanting to change my career path, curious if i would be able to work part time/prn while in DDS school. thank you!
Hi. Which schools did you apply too?
Is it legal for a school to require a letter from a “spiritual advisor”? I’m an atheist and sure AF don’t have a “spiritual advisor” and think it’s kind’ve bullshit to require that.
Do you mind doing a video of the interview process or can I email you asking? I have an interview coming up and I just want some insight. Thank you.
Just subscribed! Thank you so much

Did you go to a community college for pre-med?
