Just wondering how many schools everybody applied to...

This is for matriculation for the Fall of 2007 (class of 2011 except for UOP)...

__________________________________________

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!

Twenty for me. My excuse is that there is no public in-state school here.

I wonder how many have added significant numbers of schools after applying. I am sure it is no small number considering the sharp increase in applicants this cycle.
