How many dental schools did you apply to?

burton117 · Oct 29, 2005

Let's get an idea of how many schools all of you guys applied to or are planning to apply to this application cycle.

This is for the entering class of 2006 (Class of 2010 except for UOP)

Note: Second to last option is 31-35, not 30-35..

Sorry about that...

burton117 · Nov 8, 2005

So far.. the majority is between 7 and 20 schools applied to.. wow.. big $$$ 😱

Thank you! You are very sweet. After reading of all the chaos, anxiety and disappointments others have experienced in the process, I feel very blessed!

i absolutely can't believe people applied to over 36!!!~crazy. i wouln't want to know how much that costs!

Wafa · Apr 18, 2006

36 SCHOOLS!! wow.....i thought 10 was a good number....

burton117 · Apr 28, 2006

Based on the number of applications and the number of enrollees in the 2006-2007 Official Guide to Dental Schools, I figured out this much:

This is an estimate as it is based on data from two different years but is better than no info...

Entering class of 2004-2005 had 9433 applicants and 4612 enrolled.

74062 applications were filled out for the entering class of 2005-2006.

Based on these two numbers we can approximate an average of 8 schools applied to with an acceptance rate of 47% overall. Pretty competetive!
