Just got my carpool sticker on Friday. Put them in car, hadn't made time to put them on car.
Got stopped today. Showed him stickers, etc...
The $&*#@(*%&% chippy still wrote me a ticket. All the other drivers that are not legit in the carpool lane and he writes someone up that has the right to be there...I should not get started again...I get absolutely pissed the more I think on it.
So those that want to believe you won't get a ticket...go ahead. I'm here to prove that they WILL write it up, even if you have it and show it to them.
Consider yourself warned.
Thanks. Sorry to hear about your experience.
Will take mine off the windows and put them where they belong. (Sigh)
You could try fighting the ticket if its a big amount.
Yes, sorry to hear about it - from their point of view, I'm sure they run into people that think the stickers are "portable" and can be moved from car to car. So, no leniency.
I'm still waiting for my stickers - its been 3 months. Just sent the DMV a letter asking why they are taking so long!
Amazing that you got caught - I didn't think the CHP checked the carpool lane that much - what city do you live in?
Here is the email I just sent to my assemblyman and lt. governor. Perhaps if enough of us did so, we would see some progress:
Of all the problems in California that need solving this is admittedly a small one, but . . .
I just bought a Tesla Model S, an all electric car made in California. It is both beautiful and eligible for the car pool lane. The problem--I will need to attach 2 ugly stickers to the car in order to qualify. Can't we create a new specialized California license plate for electric vehicles that the CHP could easily recognize. You would make more money for the state by charging special license plate fees and you would help preserve the beauty of my green American made car.
Put the stickers on, go to court and stop whining. This was explicitly explained in the information that was given to you. You are making an officers job that much harder w/o it. A cop is more likely to be killed during a traffic stop than in any other situation.
Btw this is only a temporary program. License plates are useless in these situations.
What about red ones?
@shop That's odd. I got my VIN March 18, car March 28, license plates end of April, and HOV stickers by May 23. Three months definitely sounds like too long.
This goes for the front license plates as well. I have never heard more whining about complying with the law than in this forum.
I placed only the small sticker on my rear bumper. I did not install the larger stickers which go on the side bumpers. I'm crossing my fingers this will keep me from getting a ticket.
"Yes, sorry to hear about it - from their point of view, I'm sure they run into people that think the stickers are "portable" and can be moved from car to car."
Well, the number on the sticker matches the number on the car registration which was included with the sticker and supersedes the previous registration.
LK and David59: I posted this for everyone else's benefit. I admit a took a bullet that was of my own carelessness by not putting on the stickers I received in the mail YESTERDAY. I wanted to at least advise others, that in my case there was no tolerance.
If the whining is too much for you, you can always opt not to read. Neither of you had to go there.
CHP and any law enforcement officer is legally required to write you a ticket. It is in the language of the bill that created the car pool sticker program. I am aware of people who have been stopped and officer has let them off with verbal warning.
This morning on Northbound 101, I was in the car-pool lane and my stickers saved my a$$. CHP officer was in the next lane (which was surprising as they are often in the shoulder to catch car-pool violators but this one was moving along with the slower traffic with his eyes on people passing by him the car-pool lane). As soon as was I right next to him, we made eye contact, he saw I was alone, turned on his lights to get behind me and then he saw my stickers and turned off the lights and stayed in his lane.
I was happy I put the sticker!
Thanks for the heads up. What city do you live in? I'm in LA and have been "abusing" the carpool lane regularly for two weeks since I got my car (without plates or stickers). Maybe I should think twice before "cheating".
I had clear film installed on my bumper to put the ugly stickers on. If they cancel the program, I can just pull the film off.
What exactly is the ticket for: "not displaying the decals" or "illegally driving in the HOV lane". If the latter, then you can fight it; otherwise no point.
BTW, I believe I read in another thread that the law only specifies that the decals have too be displayed; it does not specify where. If correct, the DMV instructions for where to display the decals are not the law; it is their recommendation.
As I use HOV lanes maybe only ~1 per month, I simply scotch tape the small decal on the inside of the triangular window at the back for the day; and then remove it. I may be taking a chance, but I would rather do this given the low freq. that I use the HOV lanes.
So you made *eye contact*. It's all in the eye contact. Ignore the CHP and try to exude self confidence. Works every time. ;-)
I drive the 405 from Redondo Beach to Lake Forest.
I was busted in Seal Beach going south just after the 22 split.
Whining about people whining on an internet forum is worse. The OP provided useful information for those of us who like to, uh, live on the edge (when it comes to putting stickers on our cars). Thanks for posting, bt, please keep us updated if you fight it. Would also want to know where it happened and as a poster above said, what the exact infraction was.
I have just the small sticker in the right rear triangle window and haven't driven by a cop in the carpool lane yet. I wonder if he would have let you go if you had it *somewhere* on your car. I met a CHP officer who said he would give a verbal warning if he pulled me over and I had it in the window.
Buy some 3M Clear Bra material on Ebay or Amazon. You only need a foot. Put the stickers on the 3M material. Cut it out and then stick it on your car. Once it expires use a hair dryer over the sticker and it will peel off nicely.
Vehicle Code 21655.9(b) - Failure t display access okay stickers #______ on vehicle while solo in HOV lane
First update: stickers are in the car, in the black plastic below the paint. Do some searching on the forums and you can see examples.
I should have taken the 5 minutes the morning...oh we'll...
Still deciding on fighting or taking traffic school. I may want to save traffic school for the speeding ticket in my future...
Sorry you received a ticket, but thanks for posting the warning.
I know the white decals are kinda ugly, but if too many Model S owners ignore CA law and drive in HOV lanes without them, our beloved vehicles may soon get a very bad "reputation," meaning we will all get way too much unwanted attention from CHP and others in law enforcement. The same could be said for front license plates.
Here's an excerpt from the relevant section of the CA Vehicle Code regarding HOV decals (stickers).
"... the Department of the California Highway Patrol and the department, in consultation with the Department of Transportation, shall design and specify the placement of the decal, label, or other identifier on the vehicle. Each decal, label, or other identifier issued for a vehicle shall display a unique number, and that number shall be printed on, or affixed to, the vehicle registration."
The DMV makes it abundantly clear where they want the stickers to be installed. I think you're taking a risk by using a temporary mount inside the rear window. It could annoy a CHP officer even more, since now he or she has to pull you over to see if you're cheating by moving a sticker from vehicle to vehicle. With a permanent mount, cheating is much less likely.
Like others, I had clear 3M Scotchguard Paint Protection Film professionally installed over the entire rear bumper, so I'll be able to remove all the stickers cleanly some day when (if) they ever expire. Now, if you don't cover the entire bumper with film, but only part, it's possible that the paint under the film won't fade quite the same as the paint exposed to the elements, and you could end up with a rather blotchy buggy bumper.
Here's the infraction:
A person shall not drive a vehicle described in subdivision (a) of Section 5205.5 with a single occupant upon a high-occupancy vehicle lane pursuant to this section unless the decal, label, or other identifier issued pursuant to Section 5205.5 is properly displayed on the vehicle, and the vehicle registration described in Section 5205.5 is with the vehicle.
I wonder if this is the same ticket they would give if you were driving an ICE by yourself in the lane. One option is to do a trial by written declaration, and then if you lose that, to request traffic school.
+1 LK too,
I really can't think of a reason why not to put the sticker on when you're going to use the carpool lane alone, the CHP is doing his job so there is absolutely no reason to get pissed and calling names here.
Anyone know if they'll still ticket if the id card doesn't match? When I got a new license plate, I sent in the form again to request an updated ID card. The paperwork seems very clear that an updated ID card does not require the $8 fee, only the issuing of stickers (new or replacement) requires the fee.
My form was returned by the DMV with a note that I failed to include the $8 fee. I was tempted to highlight the form where it indicates the fee is only required for new or replacement stickers and send it back it but instead stuck the rejected paperwork in the car (in case I get pulled over).
+1 @tomcohen
I put the stickers on the lowest part of the rear bumper just behind the rear wheels. It doesn't look bad--sort of a badge of honor to be driving a zero emissions vehicle. When I get on the freeway I immediately head for the HOV lane! The state legislature is working on an extension on the program to 2018 or 2020. I do not expect to ever take the stickers off. Of course it helps that our model S is silver!
I think we all need to chill a bit. It's a privilege to be driving in carpool lanes for free. Complaining about the stickers ( I used to be one myself ) has begun to seem a bit too much, and I am only speaking for myself. I sucked it up and put the decals on today. I will get used to them. After all, driving the most wonderful car on earth in the carpool lane. It's really a fantastic time to be an EV owner. Think about what happens a few years from now, if EVs become so numerous ( and you know they will ) that this privilege is revoked.
I'm lucky enough (supremely lucky?) to have a 5 minute commute to work (walking), so I didn't get the stickers. When I do drive in traffic and need the carpool lane, my wife is usually with me. Bog forbid I have to commute south to PA or Mountain View - I'll be signing up right quick and placing the minimum # of stickers I can in the least car-harming spots that are legal. I hate commuting more than Faux News, if that is even possible.
I don't care if you whine or not. But the chp is not to blame. I read these posts to learn and understand.
The hov access is a privilege, not an entitlement.
I was not being condescending with my post, but my words were misconstrued. This is tesla forum, not a people bashing forum. Please use some decorum.
If a person went to the store and placed something in a basket and forgot to pay for it. What do you think would happen?
Regardless of the persons intentions of paying for it, the outcome is the same.
I can't legally advise you on what to do now. But, I will wait to see about what your outcome is going to be. I hope you keep us apprised of your results!
I think of the HOV stickers as yet another advertisement for the Tesla. A lot of people don't realize that this great looking car is zero emissions and can travel in the HOV lanes. The stickers themselves get a lot of looks from people.

Harris: TrakLok cracks financial hesitancy
It took multiple meetings that began more than a year ago, but Knoxville-based TrakLok Corp. recently received a significant cash infusion from Innova, a Memphis venture capital group. The funding comes at a time when many investors have been reluctant to take chances, preferring to risk money on only the surest of sure bets.
TrakLok is one of the few startups to break through investor reluctance. Innova will provide about 25 percent of the funding the company needs in this round and will go a long way toward pushing the GeoLok, a security device for shipping containers, into full production, said TrakLok CEO Eric Dobson. "We've not only survived but flourished in one of the worst capital markets," Dobson said.
Startup execs are by nature optimistic. And every one is certain his or her company has developed the next great product that will be sold throughout the universe.
Unfortunately, most startup ideas don't make it. Even the big boys have as many misses as hits. Remember Sony's Betamax - the wrong technology at the wrong time, or Bic disposable underwear - a just plain bad idea?
The GeoLok, however, stands a good chance of finding a market. The unique security device is designed to track the location of a shipping container and ensure that it is not opened until it arrives at the intended destination and only opened by authorized personnel.
That level of security should appeal to a wide variety of manufacturers. Makers of computers, pharmaceuticals and other high-value products are "where we're going to find our sweet spot," Dobson said.
Security-conscious government agencies also are a potential market.
"We'd like to talk to (the Department of Energy) about some of the materials they ship out of Oak Ridge, Dobson said.
Having the right product for current times is one of the reasons TrakLok attracted the attention of Innova. The GeoLok provides an "unprecedented level of visibility and security" and "can save manufacturers and shipping companies billions per year," Innova partner Jan Bouten said in a press release.
TrakLok's timing also was good on the capital front. The Knoxville company is one of the first businesses to receive funding through TNInvestco, a state program designed to bring new capital to Tennessee and provide seed money for early-stage companies based in the Volunteer State.
TNInvesto was created by the state legislature last year. The program provides tax credits to venture capital funds like Innova, which then sell the tax credits to insurance companies and use the proceeds to invest in startups, according to its Web site.
To qualify for the TNInvestco program, a company's headquarters must be in Tennessee; it must have high-growth potential; and it must have fewer than 100 employees. Also, the company's primary business cannot be professional accounting, medical or legal services, banking, real estate development, oil and gas exploration, or direct gambling services.
TrakLok was introduced to Innova in 2008 - before TNInvestco was created. "We met with them three times, and as soon as they became a finalist for TNInvestco, they called us," Dobson said. TrakLok continues to look for funding, but Dobson is confident the company will find investors.

Look out, old Captain Blythe that pirate is— BACK——-!!
Myself and a few others – primarily GATA – have been suggesting for quite some time that
While certain newsletter peddlers adamantly maintain the reports are accurate and honest in order to preserve their franchise, there's nothing like the CFTC imposing a fine on JP Morgan for fraudulently reporting "large trader" data: CFTC Charges JP Morgan With Reporting Fraud.
JP Morgan has finally been caught and sanctioned for playing games with its position reporting in gold and silver in order to hide the true magnitude of its unhedged short positions on the Comex.
Blythe Masters is perhaps the most maligned human being on earth by silver investors due to suspicions of JP Morgan's manipulation in the silver market. Well she's back in the news, but it has nothing to do with silver.
Rather, the news relates to the fact that her ex-husband and commodities traders, Daniel Masters, has just launched a Bitcoin hedge fund from the island of Jersey, a British Crown dependency.
What just happened to the metals' price?
It went up and absolutely killed those speculator shorts that I talked about last week.
But GUESS what the commercials did as price went HIGH?
You got it, my faithful readers, THOSE COMMERCIALS picked up 11,890 short positions at higher prices.
Guess what is about to GO DOWN?
Silver price.
As price comes DOWN, BUY BUY BUY BUY physical from The Doc and once the dust clears on the world wide financial collapse next year you will sell your physical at astronomical prices and reap a great harvest.
They are solidly in control of the monetary system of the world but have over invested in the greedy derivatives game and those bets are going to go down next year in a HOUSE OF FLAMES.
Podcast: Play in new window | Download
The Doc & Eric Dubin are back for the Metals & Markets to discuss:
The Doc & Eric Dubin discuss all this and more in the latest SD Weekly Metals & Markets:
It appears that silver investors' days of deriding Blythe Masters as the face of JP Morgan's alleged gold & silver manipulation may be over, as Jamie Dimon has formerly announced the sale of JPM's commodities division to Switzlerland's Mercuria for $3.5 billion.
The Morgue will however reportedly continue its global commercial gold vaulting business, as well as financial products (derivatives) and will continue to "make markets".
Perhaps Blythe should re-apply for a position at the CFTC?
The Civil War in gold continues. JPM Morgan is still NET LONG 45,000-50,000 contracts. The other 23 banks are desperately shorting gold, attempting to cap price and keep it below the technically-critical $1350-1360 area.
Which side will win in the end? That's hard to say but I certainly think it would be foolish to bet against the ultimate Masters of Darkness. I mean, seriously…the other 23 banks continue on as if it's business as usual…selling while prices rise and covering on dips…while JPM maintains it's NET LONG position acquired while price from $1800 in October of 2012 to $1200 in June of 2013.
Clearly, the other 23 banks have a lot of ammo left to use to contain rallies, but the key to 2014 and beyond continues to be JPMorgan. What will they do with their NET LONG position? Will they flip it back to NET SHORT? Will they stand for delivery?
Will they <gasp> actually add to it on continued price strength?

Turd Ferguson joins the SD Weekly Metals & Markets as a special guest host this week! We discuss:
Turd Ferguson discusses market manipulation & his outlook for the metals on the SD Weekly Metals & Markets!
In perhaps the most bearish news for paper gold & silver prices of the year, the head of JPMorgan's Commodities division (and the face of the bank's alleged manipulation of the gold & silver markets) Blythe Masters, has just joined the CFTC in ad advisory role for swaps regulation.
No, this is not April 1st, and yes, you read that correctly. Blythe Masters, welcome to the CFTC.
In another stunning withdrawal, JP Morgan had an additional 321,500 oz gold ounces removed from its vaults today.
Since last Thursday, JP Morgan has lost 44% (20 metric tons = 643,000 oz) of its gold inventories.
If a picture is worth a thousand words, then the table below is worth over $400 million (at current market prices):
JPM wants their gold back before the current fractional reserve bullion banking system breaks, prices skyrocket again and a new global currency regime takes hold.
And now, for the first time ever, they've cornered the Comex gold futures market in order to ensure that it happens.
*Updated 11pm EST 9/25*
Well, that didn't take long. After Andrew Maguire went public last Friday that the CFTC is holding evidence that JP Morgan manipulated the gold and silver markets, moments ago the CFTC announced it is closing its 5 year investigation into silver market manipulation, and that after 5 years of investigation the CFTC has found:
"Based upon the law and evidence as they exist at this time, there is not a viable basis to bring an enforcement action with respect to any firm or its employees related to our investigation of silver markets."
Something tells us Mr. Chilton won't be releasing any contrary statements by the end of September as promised either.
Let the manipulation continue indefinitely until the last ounce of physical gold and silver are removed from COMEX vaults!
From time to time, don't you wish you could step into the mind of someone like Blythe Masters to see what she really thinks. OK, you can stop getting "the creeps" now. But seriously, this woman knowingly lied to CNBC last April, stating "JPM's commodities business is not about betting on commodity prices but about assisting clients." Now that her energy market operations have come under fire, she has a wee-bit more than just a public relations problem.
Nevertheless, the Dominatrix of the silver market will likely sail off with the divisions JP Morgan sells, while JP Morgan will pay fines as a cost of doing business.
Meanwhile, with her eventual JPM departure and the statute of limitations on the CFTC's silver investigation set to run out at five years, the mega scandal that should have been on the headlines years ago – silver manipulation in service of capping gold, suppressing interest rates and buying years of extra life for the reserve status of the U.S. dollar – fades down the memory hole.
With JPMorgan's COMEX gold vault down to all-time historic lows and the firm looking at a $1 billion settlement with FERC over Blythe Masters' manipulation of the electricity market, JPM has just announced shocking news that the firm is seeking a sale, spin off or strategic partnership of its physical commodities business.
JPM is getting out of the silver manipulation game. Perhaps they've been warned by the CFTC.
Perhaps they simply see the writing on the wall. It's impossible to say.
What we do know is:

On this week's SD Weekly Metals & Markets, we'll cover:
Doc's physical market trends report- silver shortage easing?
Back over $22 silver with the commercials (& likely JP Morgan) nearly net neutral in silver– what it likely means
Next week's FOMC: QE tapered or has the Fed run out of room for MOPE with foreign governments outright selling $50 B of Treasuries in May?
The SD Weekly Metals & Markets with Eric Dubin & The Doc is below:
The NYTimes Dealbook reports tonight that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) intends to take action against JP Morgan and Blythe Masters over manipulative trading schemes in the Michigan and California energy markets.
FERC's 70 page filing reportedly singles out JPM Head of Commodities Blythe Masters for her role in the scheme, and alleges that Blythe personally participated in JPMorgan's efforts to block the state authorities from understanding the reasons behind JPMorgan's bidding schemes, and that Blythe made scores of false and misleading statements and material omissions to authorities and that enforcement officials plan to recommend Masters be held "individually liable."
Surely Blythe will quickly be exonerated for the fact that JPM's alleged energy market manipulation was not a directional position, but was merely hedging on behalf of a client…
*Update: Whistle-blower testimony completely removed from the final cut…while Jeffrey Christian insisting Fort Knox contains all the gold advertised is included.
Guess we'll have to do this the hard way and drain every last physical ounce…
The CFTC is sitting on information that implicates JPMorgan as manipulating the futures market in Silver and Gold. The reason this is so damning is that the CFTC has evidence that incriminates JPM as having malicious short positions designed to influence the price action of Silver and Gold towards JPM's favor; akin to the LIBOR scandal in which rates were manipulated down towards the banks favor. –JPM Whistle-blower
The PM community has been waiting over a decade to see the gold and silver manipulation story go mainstream, as the LIBOR scandal did last summer.
As of 9pm EST tonight, the wait is over…
Please understand that the psychopaths who are running the world will apparently run this game until the very last ounce of strength (Gold & silver) is gone. More and more demand for physical metal is showing each and every month. When the "bottom of the barrel" is reached the game(s) will stop, physical metal for sale will dry up entirely and literally no amount of fiat currency will secure it. You are being offered the greatest price discount in relation to money supply in history right now, secure holdings now because later the only way to do so will be with real goods that owners are willing to barter for.
The cartel's all-day gold and silver take-down continued in tonight's Globex and Wednesday Asian trading, as both metals have just been shoved off ANOTHER cliff, with gold smashed to $1565, and silver has broken below $27 to a $26 handle!
89 year old judge Robert Patterson Monday officially dismissed the class-action lawsuit against JP Morgan alleging illegal silver price fixing.
Patterson stated that investors failed to demonstrate that JPM was manipulating the silver market at their expense. Judge Patterson claimed that while investors successfully demonstrated that JPM influenced silver prices, they failed to demonstrate that JP Morgan "intended to cause artificial prices to exist".
In other words, the smoking gun was not enough evidence, silver investors failed to prove the sinister motive behind JPM's actions.

text: SDN Members don't see this ad. (About Ads) If you are wondering "What Schools Should I Apply To?" or "What Are My Chances?" you've come to the right place! There's no reason to have a ton of individual threads about this in the forum, and since we don't have a subforum for this, everyone, you just need to educate yourselves with the wealth of information that is already out there. If you're on these boards, you're an intelligent person; this stuff isn't rocket science, you can figure it out. Start by going to www.PreDents.com, and go to Ranking > Sort Schools By > xxxxx You can arrange them by GPA, DAT, or more importantly, % Out-of-State students; the higher the better. If the Out-of-State (OOS) percentage is lower than 30%, generally it would be a waste to apply to those places (note that NYU, Western, and Midwestern are mistakenly 0%, because there is no current data for those schools; these schools are OOS friendly. Kentucky may be the exception to the 30% rule). Some percentages can be deceiving though: Washington's OOS and OHSU's OOS is almost entirely WICHE, UMKC's OOS is almost entirely Kansas residents, Minnesota's OOS is entirely regional and Wisconsin residents, UMDNJ's and WVU's OOS numbers are deceptively high, Colorado's OOS is entirely regional, Tennessee's OOS is mostly Arkansas residents, and Alabama's OOS is entirely Georgia and regional residents. Also, unless you are URM (African-American, Latino/a, Native American), ignore all data for Howard and Meharry, although Howard does accept a good number of Asians. Obviously, if you have an In-State public school (and your scores are within a reasonable range), apply there. However, eliminating OOS unfriendly state schools (as well as Howard/Meharry), you end up with the following schools to choose from (number of OOS seats in parenthesis, based on 2009 ADEA figures): 1. NYU (168) 2. Tufts (121+52, they are gradually adding 52 additional seats by 2011 as part of the Vertical Expansion Initiative.) 3. Temple (98) 4. Boston University (91) 5. Midwestern AZ(82) 6. Creighton (79) 7. Louisville (76, they added 35 more OOS seats this year) 8. Pittsburgh (72) 9. Western (64 total) 10. Maryland (57) 11. USC (55) 12. Case Western (50) 13. Buffalo (48) 14. Virginia Commonwealth (45) 15. Nova (43) 16. Michigan (42) 17. Marquette (40) 18. Indiana (30) 19. Detroit Mercy (27) 20. Midwestern IL(Unknown) 21. UConn (19, Has very few seats, and tends to accept OOS students with higher stats than their average would indicate) 22. Kentucky (17, I consider this school to be OOS friendly based on anecdotal evidence. I will remove it if that evidence is refuted.) 23. UNLV (33, This is a school that will give you a chance OOS only if you apply early.) 24. ASDOH (46, Do you have hundreds of hours of community service and volunteering? If so, you should apply here.) 25. Loma Linda (44, Are you heavily religiously inclined? More specifically, are you of the Seventh-day Adventist Church? They will ask you about it in the secondary application, and it is very difficult to get in if you're not SDA.) The following schools have a DAT average of 21 or higher, thus if you have a 19 DAT forget it, if you have a 20 DAT you perhaps have an outside chance of getting in, and if you have 21+ DAT, these schools might be for you. (UCLA, UW, and Stony Brook are in this category but were eliminated for not being OOS Friendly). 26. Penn (48) 27. University of Pacific (46) 28. Columbia (44) 29. Harvard (35) 30. UCSF (25) I have no information about the new or proposed dental schools of Eastern Carolina University, University of New England in Maine, the University of Southern Nevada in Utah, and the University of Utah. I would assume that being new schools with no reputation and no accreditation that these may be less competitive schools to get into, so if your GPA and DAT is on the lower side these are definitely schools to research and consider. I would also assume that the Utah schools would have a strong preference for LDS students, but I may be wrong. If anyone has any information on these schools, especially if they accept mainly in-state or are private institutions, feel free to post them. So essentially, if you do not have an in-state public school and are not URM, you have these 30 schools to choose from when applying, 30 out of 58 total schools. If you're too lazy to read the rest of the guide in detail, and you have average or reasonably competitive stats, you could apply to the first 20-23 schools I listed as well as your state schools and you might be alright, though I recommend against this... The next thing you want to do is to read Doc Toothache's 2010 Ranking of DAT/Other Selection Criteria by US DS (which is more accurate than PreDents.com): http://forums.studentdoctor.net/showthread.php?t= 657139 (This is last year's guide from Doc Toothache) Doc Toothache's 09 Ranking of Dental Schools Based on DAT/GPA : http://forums.studentdoctor.net/showthread.php?t=602109 Also, make sure you check out Fodog's Every Statistic About Every Dental School, a guide based on the figures from the 2010 ADEA Guide To Dental Schools and the 2008-2009 Survey of Dental Education, compiled by Fodog (02-08-2010). It's amazing, very useful, I highly recommend using it: http://forums.studentdoctor.net/showthread.php?t=700459 Here's the working link for the ADA Survey of Dental Education: Tuition, Admission, and Attrition (link provided by peanutb123) ADA Survey of Dental Education: Tuition, Admission, and Attrition Based on your GPA/DAT, choose schools that fit your range of scores. If you're not sure if you are competitive, you could use the modified UTHSCSA formula by plugging your numbers into: Science GPA x ([DAT AA/30]x4 + Overall GPA, and compare your values with the values in Doc Toothaches chart for UTHSCSA formula. For example, if you had a 3.5 GPA, 3.4 Science GPA, and 19 AA, you would calculate: 3.4 x ([19/30]x4 + 3.5 = 12.11, which is your UTHSCSA value, and says that you are competitive for schools that are below this value (if these are your scores, there are 15 schools within your range, not including Howard-Meharry-Puerto Rico, and prior to eliminating public schools which you are out-of-state). The formula does neglect the PAT score (check PreDents for that), and does not take into account individual sections (which many schools have a cut-off of 17 for each individual section). The formula itself has no real validity or meaning, but it is a tool to help you choose schools that are within your range. Generally, you want to apply to schools that have DAT averages of less than 1 point over your DAT, and at most 0.2 GPA points from your overall GPA and Science GPA (not a hard and set rule, just some parameters to consider). [The following charts were compiled by Doc Toothache] For DAT/GPA, you can also look at the DAT-GPA trends and Range of DAT scores. Also, different schools value different DAT/GPA/other selection criteria. In general, schools tend to look the most heavily for AA/TS/RC/scienceGPA/overallGPA/Interview, and not so much on QR & non-scienceGPA, with half the schools looking specifically for high PAT and good LORs. If your undergrad GPA is low, consider an SMP (Special Masters Program), a 1 year Masters with no thesis (Barry University in Miami offers an SMP, there are others.. you can often use your DAT to apply in lieu of a GRE), and many schools favor an applicant with a Masters Degree. If you are wondering how much your Race plays into particular schools (as well as choice of Major and Gender), check out these charts on the Affirmative Action Myth and Minority Acceptance in Dental Schools. As you can see, some schools are almost all white (06 Data: Louisville-85%, Marquette-85%, Indiana-84%, Buffalo-80%, Pitt-76%), and some schools accept very few Asians (06 Data: UConn: 1/211 Asian applicants accepted, Marquette:1/179 Asian applicants accepted, Louisville:1/151 Asian applicants accepted). If you're wondering about how much Age plays a factor, over 200 older "Non-Traditional" applicants were accepted last year. Also, the number of Shadowing Hours Required by Schools is different. In general, you want at least 30 Hours, with 100 Hours being ideal. Applying early is so important. Take a look at the Acceptances with Pre and Post Dec. Interviews 2009. Another thing to consider is the course requirements (Pre-Reqs). Some schools require 1 year of English, others, 1 semester. Some schools require 1 year of Calculus, others, 1 semester. Statistics, Psychology, Sociology, Biochemistry, Organic Chemistry II, Microbiology, Physiology, and Anatomy are also courses that some schools may require and others may not; check the school's websites or consult the ADEA 2010 Official Guide to Dental Schools for this information. If you are applying as a college Junior, you may be able to take these school-specific required courses during your second semester Senior year, after finding out what school you are going to after December 1st (hopefully). As long as you finish these school-specific required courses before attending that dental school, you'll be fine. Also, keep in mind that some schools DO NOT accept Pre-Reqs from Community College, such as Tufts, NYU, BU, and Temple. In fact, Tufts won't accept any CC credits, so you can effectively remove it from your list if you went to CC before you went to a 4-year institution. So at this point you know which schools are Out-of-State friendly, know which schools match your stats and would give you the maximum chance at acceptance, and know which schools you can't apply to because of school-specific required courses. Your list still might be over 20 schools at this point, and you want to narrow it down more. Consider things like: Location (Urban, Suburban, Rural), Region (Northeast, South, West, Midwest), Cost (Buffalo is one of the best values), Facilities (Maryland and Detroit-Mercy have some of the best facilities), Overall Reputation (do you care if it's an Ivy League or UC?), Clinical Reputation for producing the best General Dentists (GPs) (UoP, Temple, Tufts, Detroit-Mercy, UIC), Best Chances to SPECIALIZE(Harvard, Columbia, UPenn, UCLA, UCSF, Stony Brook), class size (NYU, Tufts, and USC have the largest classes), PBL curriculum (USC, Indiana, Case, Harvard, soon-to-be UIC), possible religious undertones (Loma Linda, Marquette, Creighton), racial diversity (Midwestern AZ, Marquette, and Louisville are known for their lack thereof), research opportunities (UConn, Michigan, Harvard, UPenn, Columbia, Maryland, Pittsburgh, UCSF), safety of the area (Temple, Detroit, Case), proximity to home and family, ect. ect… Ultimately it is up to you to decide what factors are most important, and to choose your schools based on that. You can disregard the most important consideration, Cost, if you are getting the scholarship for National Health Service Corps (NHSC) or the US Military's Health Professions Scholarship Program (HPSP). The full scholarship pays for all of your tuition and living expenses, and for the HPSP, gives you a $1,900 monthly stipend and a $20,000 signing bonus as well. Each requires a pay-back period of 4 years if you take the full scholarship, meaning that you will serve as a military dentist for 4 years with HPSP, or serving a high-need area such as a prison or Indian reservation with NHSC. For the military HPSP, you can join Army, Navy, or Air Force, with the Air Force being the most competitive (Read the following guide for the HPSP). If you have a 3.5 GPA and 20 DAT, you automatically qualify if there are still scholarships available (apply early), but if your scores are lower you can still apply. The NHSC is competitive as well. These are especially popular options for those going to expensive private schools such as NYU, USC, Tufts, or Penn. Another option, if you like laboratory research, is a fully funded 7 or 8 year DMD/PhD program, which will pay for some or all of your dental school tuition, as well as provide a stipend. I do not have a list of these programs, but I do know of 7-year programs at UConn and Michigan. They are highly competitive; my friend who got into the UConn program had a 21 AA, 22 TS, and over a 4.0 GPA. One more thing to consider about Cost is a repayment plan called Income Based Repayment. President Obama passed this into law in 2009, and it is a fairly new repayment option. Essentially, you commit to paying the federal government 15% of your salary for 25 years, and after 25 years you pay the taxes on the remaining balance and the rest will be absolved. This is a great deal for those who are going to an expensive private school like Tufts or NYU and if you don't plan on making over $200,000 per year (most of us won't). If you plan on owning and running a multi-million dollar chain of practices, obviously 15% is not a good deal for you. Also, starting next year I believe (correct me if I'm wrong), the incoming class of dental students will only have to pay back 10% of income earned after 20 years, an even better deal! So while I used to be worried about the size of my Tufts loans, I am not anymore because of IBR. Makes me feel better about choosing an expensive private school over my state school haha. For the Canadian/International applicant, your choice of schools is very limited. For the most part, you will bank on the large expensive private schools (or should I say, they will bank on you, zing!). This list is not comprehensive, but to my knowledge, the schools that are Canadian applicant friendly are: NYU, Tufts, BU, USC, UoP, Temple, Buffalo, Detroit Mercy, Pitt, Penn, Case, Nova, Columbia, Indiana, Maryland, Minnesota, Michigan, and Midwestern AZ (no information on the new schools Western and Midwestern IL is available). If you are a Canadian applicant, I'd recommend further investigation into these particular institutions. Also, if you have only taken the Canadian DAT, check with each school individually to see which schools will only accept the American DAT. Thanks to Doc Toothache and PDizzle for compiling so much information for the benefit of dental school applicants on SDN. Let me know (by PM) if any of this information is outdated and I will update it. Good luck this cycle everyone! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When I get a chance I'll add a DAT section, to complete my magnum opus [under construction...] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After You Get Interviews: Make sure you read Burton117's ***Official: Can you answer these questions about your dental school?*** thread, it provides some deeper insight on the inner workings of each school. Also, before your interview you ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO READ SDN INTERVIEW FEEDBACK!!! It presents the most common interview questions from the schools you are interviewing at to help you prepare, and also presents some useful data. New SDN Interview Feedback: http://www.studentdoctor.net/schools/ Old SDN Interview Feedback: http://more.studentdoctor.net/schoollist.php?type=3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer: I am not, nor do I claim to be, an expert on dental school admissions. Take any advice you hear, from anyone, with a grain of salt. Believe none of what you hear and half of what you see. Ultimately, you'll have to trust your instincts

Greatest geek Halloween pumpkins from around the 'net
Halloween is coming up fast and you can fully expect to see a host of ghoulies, ghosties and altogether spooky shenanigans going on on the build up to the witching hour itself. But let us not forget that scariest of darkened room dwellers, the ghastly geek. They often emerge from their grisly abodes at this time of year, moaning and a-groaning - mainly about JJ Abrams' overuse of lens flare effects on the Star Trek franchise.
They also light up the internet with their fine examples of tech-tastically carved pumpkins. And we have curated a mighty fine collection of their wares for you so that you can get in the mood for a spot of trick or treating yourself.
Games feature heavily, as does Apple and Star Wars - somewhat unsurprisingly - but there are plenty of surprise carvings too. So sit back, pour yourself a glass of bat's blood (or Vimto as we like to call it) and enjoy this vast array of amazingly reshaped vegetables, including the superb USS Enterprise versus the Millennium Falcon by habitual pumpkin fiddler Alex Wer and the painted Angry Birds pumpkins we came across a couple of years back.
You can check them all out in our gallery below.
Should you fancy having a go at this yourself, but have long since been banned from going near sharp implements and/or squash vegetables, there is a free iPad application available from carving kit specialist company Pumpkin Masters. It comes with a number of designs to carve into a virtual pumpkin, making the whole process a little less messy.
Of course, you'll have to sit with your iPad on in the window for several days, but that's a small price to pay for the ease of use. Happy Halloween y'all.

The DOLICA DSLR Transformer is the most flexible of all the DOLICA brands. This versatile tripod is only ten inches high and weighs in at just 3/4 of a pound. This 10" DSLR Transformer Tripod can wrap around almost anything keeping the camera perfectly steady for clear shots.
With 5 articulating joints it has muscle to wrap around the most unique places. For example, it can wrap around the top of doors, door handles, desk tops, top of car windows, cabinet shelves, tree limbs, small rocks, and fence posts, etc.
The Dolica 10" Transformer Tripod gets its muscle from 5 articulating joints that can be tightened or loosened with an Allen wrench to the resistance you prefer. Plus the rubber feet hold the CT-100 in place just the way you like it. This little giant truly makes photography fun.

Telecoms, social media aid the efforts of relief organizations on the ground in Haiti
Even as the international community struggled to respond to the tragedy unfolding in Haiti, information technology experts in the public and private sectors were on the move.
A massive earthquake leveled the island's infrastructure Jan. 12, leaving tens of thousands dead and millions homeless and destitute. Relief forces at first could not deliver what was most needed — food, water and medical care — but volunteers from the United States and many other nations looked for every available means of supporting relief operations and easing the suffering of the quake's survivors.
Communication was a primary concern because most traditional landlines and cellular services had been knocked out. So the Defense Information Systems Agency stepped in to offer telecommunications services to aid organizations and support air traffic control and freight management at the Port-au-Prince airport, writes J. Nicholas Hoover at InformationWeek.
DISA also set up an online system to help nongovernmental organizations in the United States and abroad coordinate relief efforts. The system, known as the Transnational Information Sharing Cooperation system, had been in beta testing, Hoover reports.
A number of organizations were trying to deliver additional communications equipment, including the United Nations Foundation, the World Food Program and the International Telecommunication Union. In one case, a WFP official found an unused satellite system in northern Haiti, which he planned to deliver to Port-au-Prince under military escort, reports Stephen Lawson for the IDG News Service.
Telecoms Sans Frontières (Telecommunications without Borders), which supports relief operations around the world, is providing satellite and wireless networking equipment along with two teams of experts who have been trained in rapid-response operations, according to Network World's Tim Greene. The teams are focused on setting up links between rescue operations on the island and will also help survivors contact relatives.
Ushahidi, a crowdsourcing site focused on crisis response, did its best to help Haitians get in touch immediately after the quake. Although the earthquake knocked out most traditional communications systems, Haitians were able to get online via satellite links. "Twitter and other social network sites were a lifeline for communications in the hours and days after the earthquake," writes Lucas Mearian for Computerworld.
Relief organizations are also finding ways to turn social media to their advantage. Most notably, the American Red Cross, with assistance from the State Department, has received $22 million, or more than 20 percent of its donations earmarked for Haiti, via a text messaging-based donation program set up by mGive. Cell phone subscribers simply text "Haiti" to 90999 to donate $10, and the money is billed directly to their accounts.
Normally, it would take several weeks to get such a program up and running. But shortly after the quake hit, a State Department official put in a call to top officials at mGive and asked them to streamline the process, writes the New York Times' Stephanie Strom.
iTunes, Apple's online music service, also got in on the act, adding a page from which shoppers can donate money, with 100 percent of the proceeds going to the Red Cross. Apple makes it clear that the company will not share any information about the donors with the Red Cross, writes Jonathan Seff at the Industry Standard.
And finally this: A group called Faith Comes by Hearing, is shipping 600 solar-powered audio versions of the Bible to Haiti. The units will broadcast the text in Haitian Creole to 300 people at a time, Reuters reports.

As of August 31, 2015, new business filings totaled 27,900, compared to 26,945 in same period in 2014.

EAU CLAIRE – DFI Secretary Ray Allen addresses attendees at the Governor's Small Business Summit in Eau Claire on Sept. 9. The 5th annual summit provided about 300 attendees the opportunity to talk to Cabinet secretaries, attend breakout sessions focused on best practices for businesses, and visit with Governor Scott Walker and Lt. Governor Rebecca Kleefisch. Governor Walker, who was the keynote speaker at the event, inaugurated the Small Business Summit during his first year in office as a way for top leaders in government to hear directly from small business owners.
The Governor, Lt. Governor, and Cabinet members talked about a number of policy priorities contained in the 2015-17 budget that help small businesses, including property tax relief, tax code simplification, broadband expansion grants, infrastructure investment, and ongoing worker training initiatives.
MADISON – Registrations are now being accepted for the 5th annual Wisconsin Summit on Financial Literacy to be held Friday, Oct. 16, at Lambeau Field in Green Bay. The conference is geared toward supporting teachers, community outreach educators, and workplace professionals who have an interest in enhancing financial and economic literacy within their communities.

MADISON – Net income was up 8.7% and total lending increased by 6.3% at Wisconsin's state-chartered banks in the first half of 2015, compared to the same period of the previous year, according to data released by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.
"The overall health of Wisconsin banks is very strong," said Ray Allen, Secretary of the Department of Financial Institutions (DFI), which oversees state-chartered institutions. "As the Wisconsin economy continues to grow, our state-chartered banks are well positioned to handle increasing demand for products and services from businesses and consumers."
The full press release may be found at www.wdfi.org/Newsroom/Press.
WAUSAU – DFI Secretary Ray Allen, left, participated in a roundtable discussion with members of the River Valley Bank Board of Directors on August 24, 2015. River Valley Bank President and CEO Todd Nagel invited Allen and his team to meet with the bank's directors to discuss the current state of community banking in Wisconsin and how regulations have been affecting banks. Secretary Allen said the visit was part of DFI's ongoing commitment to communicating with stakeholders. "As regulators, it is important that we listen to the concerns of the state-chartered banks that we oversee," Allen said. "The input we receive allows us to do a better job of representing the interests of Wisconsin's community banks at the national level." River Valley Bank, with headquarters in Wausau, has offices in 13 communities.
