<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 1367470, member: 5233&quot;]Well, I am in my final year of dental school, so we only have a couple classes and there really aren&#039;t any &quot;papers&quot; these days.&nbsp; It&#039;s mostly all clinical based stuff...and unfortunately many of our instructors just give everyone &quot;Bs&quot; in clinic because they don&#039;t want to take the time to actually grade our treatment.&nbsp; So, I really have no papers to show...but I will post my last term&#039;s grades.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know if that qualifies me for this contest or not...if it does not that&#039;s OK.</p><p><br /></p><p>I actually wanted to say something about this contest.&nbsp; I think it is a really nice idea that the OP is encouraging everyone to work hard in school.&nbsp; I think I am in somewhat of a unique position on this topic because of my current position in my last year of graduate school.&nbsp; I was one of those people who did quite well in both high school and college...partially because I was a naturally gifted student but also because I worked very hard.&nbsp; I went to college with a goal in mind and I looked at college as a job.&nbsp; I did have some fun and I enjoyed my college experience, but above all I busted my butt and got excellent grades.&nbsp; As a result, I was accepted into my top choice for dental school (they took 75 students from over 1000 applicants).&nbsp; Then the real work began...and I can tell you that dental school has been the greatest challenge of my life.&nbsp; But, in June I will graduate with the title &quot;Doctor&quot; and be able to begin practicing.&nbsp; I can tell you the road has been very long and hard...and not always fun.&nbsp; But, it has been well worth it.&nbsp; I wouldn&#039;t go back and do anything different.&nbsp; It has set me up for a very nice life and a good career and that was what I wanted.&nbsp; So, I really encourage everyone to do your very best because in the long run it pays off and it is completely worth it.&nbsp; I promise.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, here are my Fall grades:</p><p><br /></p><p>CDEN702 Ethics in Dentistry: 3.0 (B)</p><p>CDEN742 Dental Practice Operations: 3.5 (B+)</p><p>DEN756 Comp Care III: 3.0 (B)</p><p>ENDO740 Endodontic Clinic: 2.0 (C) - Unfortunately, this is the grade you get if you do not treat a Root Canal that term (and I didn&#039;t have a patient that needed one) - not the most fair system.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>ENDO743 Endodontic Principles: 4.0 (A)</p><p>OS733 Advanced Oral Surgery: 3.5 (B+)</p><p>PEDO741 Pediatric Dentistry Clinic III: 3.0 (B)</p><p>PER741 Periodontology Clinic III: 3.5 (B+)</p><p>REST742 Restorative Dentistry Clinic III: 3.0 (B)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
