School to apply

[tnguyen2512]

Hi guys, I am applying to dental schools this June, and I really need your helps/feedbacks on what schools should I apply to.

Here is a little bit information about my background, I am a senior now, and I will finish my B.S in Biomedical Science in May, but I will just stay in school and minor in business or finance. I am also Florida resident, southeastern Asian origin. I have 3.9 cumGPA and sGPA; around 100 hours of shadowing; 150 hours hospital volunteer; 20 hours general community service. I already took my DAT in Aug. 2013, and here is my score/subscores.

I think you have a chance to get into those schools with your scores

I am no expert on this, but you could always throw in some "state" schools in there and try your luck. You seem to have a pretty solid application. If a state school lets you switch to in-state tuition after your first year, that means you save plenty of money. Quite a few schools do this, and I'd just do a search to find them--I think a thread was even made recently.

I would remove UNE, Roseman, and ASDOH, and replace them with UNC, UConn, Michigan, UCSF, and UCLA. But it's hard to make recommendations when we have little to go off of other than scores and residence. What are you looking for in a school?
