Date of submission: 6/24, Utah Resident
Overall GPA: 3.3
Science GPA: 3.4

DAT score (include AA and all sections): 21AA, 23TS, 20 PAT, 18QR, 19RC

Reapplicant? No
Nontrad? Yes. Spent close to 7 years working in software sales. Decided to pivot and go back to school to pursue dentistry. Married with kids. Working full time.
Shadowing Experience: 230 hrs. Mix between 3 general dentists and 1 Endo
Volunteering Experience: 120. Mix between Organic chemistry tutoring and youth hockey player development camps.
Employment: Full time employee for a small CNC machine shop. (Non dental related, but it pays the bills).
Research: None
LOR type and strength: 2 letters from science professor (probably mediocre),1 letter from a dentist (strong), 1 letter from current employer (strong)
Misc Info/Things not stated elsewhere/Red Flags: Going to school full time, working full time ( 6pm-2am), and being a husband & father has definitely made it hard to gain more meaningful volunteer hours as there just isn't much free time throughout the week. But I am planning to add more volunteer hours throughout the cycle. There isn't much info out there for NonTrad students that are coming from a different career field so any and all feedback is welcomed and appreciated.
