Hey SDN,
I'm a Canadian applying this upcoming cycle to the states and I want to get your opinions on this extensive school list I have. I am hoping to cut it down a bit, but if you guys/girls suggest otherwise, I will not. Please be patient with me as I have no idea about ANYTHING regarding good/bad US dental schools. I am not really interested in specializing and will be returning home in Canada to work. This list was made from looking at the 2014 ADEA guide.
My stats are
cGPA: 3.9ish
sGPA: 3.8ish
I will be getting my degree this upcoming year
Volunteering: Pretty low # of hours (maybe 200?)
Shadowing: 110 hours shadowing a general dentist
No Research or Other EC's to report
Canadian DAT scores:
RC: 25
Sci Total: 21
PAT: 21
AA: 22
Here's my list from ascending price for an OOS:
-University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
-Creighton University
-Marquette University
-University of Pittsburgh
-University of Alabama at Birmingham
-Virginia Commonwealth University
-Temple University
-Boston University
-University of Michigan
-Case Western
-University of Connecticut
-University of Detroit Mercy
-Columbia
-University of Minnesota
-Midwestern - Arizona
-UofP
-University of Penn
-Nova Southeastern
I'm not interested really in research opportunities at the school or specializing.
I just want to live in a decent/safe place and get some good clinical practice/teaching.
Any schools I should remove? Add? Please provide any feedback as I am sure it will be helpful! Thanks SDN
