EVENTS _ | _ DENTAL BLOGS _ | _ OPPORTUNITIES _ | _ ADEA AADSAS® Recruitment Event Recap March 30, 2023 Students Explore Their Unique Pathways to Dental School and Network at the 2023 ADEA GoDental Recruitment Event   For the 13th year, ADEA held its ADEA GoDental® Recruitment Event in conjunction with the ADEA Annual Session & Exhibition. This time in Portland, OR, more than 600 attendees came to make face-to-face connections with representatives from 50+ U.S. and Canadian dental schools and organizations.   “Please take advantage and visit as many schools as possible,” said Carolyn Booker, Ph.D., ADEA Chief of Educational Pathways during her welcome address. “The more you expose yourself to diverse opportunities, the more you increase your chances of acceptance to dental schools.”   The one-day workshop and fair held on March 11 saw a flood of college students who were eager to learn more about the dental schools in attendance and about the dental school admissions process in general, as well as network with their peers and with dental admissions officers.

A five-hour exam that seems to define your chances of getting in would make anyone at least a little nervous, but that’s okay,” says Joseph Marsallo, predental student. “The DAT is just one part of your application that can help show a school that you are prepared to become a dentist. Although it’s not the only thing that schools will look at, it is still very important.”   Keep reading to learn what Marsallo did to prepare for the DAT and boost his confidence for applying to dental school.   Learn More > Ten Financial Questions Every Incoming Dental Student Should Ask   Are you currently researching financing options and/or thinking about how to pay for dental school?
