Hi Tehaum, I’ll be finishing up my last semester of college in a few weeks but I won’t be attending a dental school in the fall as this cycle I only received one interview from ASDOH which didn’t work out. I feel really happy but also disheartened seeing all of my peers enjoying their dental school experiences and getting to learn what they’re actually passionate about. Now I feel stuck as it already took me an extra year to finish college just to find out that I still wasn’t enough. I’ll need to retake the DAT because my score will expire eventually and have to do well in a masters program to have another chance the next time but I’m finding it really hard to stay motivated to keep studying things I’m not passionate about. How do you manage to stay motivated when all you’re met with is failure?
