Well, I am going to be a dentist.


I was recently accepted to dental school at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland Ohio. I wasn't sure if I was going to attend Case or not, but they presented me with a decently attractive financial package and I'm not passing up this deal.

An additional note is that I am a high school senior. They admit up to 10 students a year into a 6 year dental program. Where you enter dental school after two years of undergrad studies.

I'm quite excited.

Just remember not to tell your patient to bite down while your finger's still in their mouth. My dentist made that mistake and then gave me this awful look. I think I even pierced her skin Did she ever cuss.

Wow, congratulations!

You must have been quite a pick, beating out thousands of applicants and getting one of the choice 10 spots! Not to mention the great financial package.

I'm really impressed

Don't be tooo impressed. There definitely were not thousands of applicants. Not too many people know they want to be a dentist when they are in high school.

And the financial package isn't all that great, it's going to be about half.

I go to a really great practice, that I really like. The practice has two dentists on staff, both are great. They both went to the dental school at the University of Pennsylvania, which I understand to be pretty elite as well.

Congratulations on your acceptance. Who cares if your friends think it's cool or not, be happy for yourself, and be one of those cool dentists



Luckily, right at that moment, an unconscious Argentinean fell through my roof.

He was quickly joined by a dwarf dressed as a nun.

Thanks for the kind words. You are right UPenn has an excellent dental school.

With regard to friends and "coolness" everyone is very supportive about my decision and in fact, I'm sure there are more on the side thinking its more cool than uncool. If anything it's unique because I have not met another person my age (exception the few that I met at the school when the conducted interviews) that wants to be a dentist.

I am very confident in my decision and eager to begin school and my career.
