We hope to answer questions you may have concerning the DAT, admission into dental school, and what it is like to be a Dental Student. • Wax Carving – During the first semester of dental school at VCU you will spend many hours carving various teeth out of a wax block in order to improve you hand skills and learn dental anatomy. This session will show you what it is all about, with third and fourth year dental students around to help you out! • Dentsim – Dentsim is a simulation machine that teaches you how to prepare a tooth for a restoration (cavity)- which is something that you will be doing everyday of your dental school career! This session gives you the opportunity to drill on a simulation tooth and get the great feeling of holding a hand-piece for the first time. • Mock Interviews – Going to your first dental school interview can be a really stressful experience! We hope to alleviate some of the stress by having a short Mock Interview session with dental students who have been through the process. We will be asking you questions that we were asked on our many dental school interviews in hopes that you will be a little more prepared for your first interview. • Sign up at http://www.vcuasda.com/predental/ by Friday, February 22nd • $150 Registration + ASDA Membership or $100 Registration only
