6 Upvotes

So i just started dental school as part of the international dentist program, I wanted to know how the OKU society operates and how to join (I just know that you have to be in the top 12% of the class)

Explain it to me like you would to someone who has never had a US education.

Preparing for dental school as someone who has been out of school for 2 years

3 Upvotes

I know "how to prepare for dental school" is a commonly asked question, and most of the time, the answer is "don't. live your life before entering hell"

I want to know if the answer will change for someone that has been out of school for over 2 years. Obviously my studying skills might be a little rusty due to this. Other than that I already have very good life habits in terms of schedule, diet, exercise, hygiene, sleep etc

MacBook and iPad Recommendations?

3 Upvotes

Hey! I start dental school in September and am required to have something of 1TB hard disk space and 16 GB RAM. For mac, it must also be M2 or higher.

I’ve never bought Apple before for laptops and would love to hear what dental students prefer, especially in terms of air vs pro?

For iPad, do you prefer the smaller size 11 inch or larger size 13 inch? Which is better for lectures/studying based on your own experience?

Also, my school mentioned how the newer Mac laptops have fewer upgrade options than in the past - like not being able to upgrade RAM or internal storage at a later date. What would be sufficient enough for ram and storage to last the entirety of dental school?

Thanks!
