I was just wondering what schools take the best scores from your DAT tests? Thanks!

Ok, so I'm sure this happens to everyone but I'm just curious as I've been getting many emails from dental schools. Many of them advise applying to the next cycle, I'm assuming they got my DAT scores after I took my DAT & sent them every school... lol I did not apply because I took my DAT in Nov...

Hello, I wanted to create a comprehensive and updated list on osteopathic schools that do not require a LOR specifically from a DO/MD. When I was applying, I had to go through each schools websites and find out myself. So here is the list I have so far for this application cycle (2018-2019)...

Hi im just curious what schools that we know of have started sending rejections? From my friends and me we know of Pitt, Western, LECOM, and Midwestern Illinois. Feel free to keep adding schools please!

Hey everybody, I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on schools to apply to. I was a previous engineering major and kind of overloaded myself on prereqs early on and screwed up my GPA a bit. I think my GRE and grade trend are something I can emphasize so I want to target schools that...

Sorry for having the same question as another fellow Cali applicant. Also wondering if I am applying to too many/the wrong places. My closer friends all are applying to 20 ish schools, but I've read forums that say it's too many? Thank you very much for the help in advance! My stats are: cGPA...

Hey guys, just wanted to get 2nd opinions on my list of dental schools to apply to. Right now I feel like I have too many, and want to eliminate some that I might not have a better chance of getting into. For example, I heard that Midwestern Arizona has an emphasis on community service, and I...

Dear SDN, Hope y'all are doing alright. I am on hold with the AAMC but I fear I will not get through to them in time to have this question answered, so I thought I could turn to SDN. If I submit to 9 schools tonight that is $140+$40+$40+$40 ect. If I submit a few more once I have the money...

Hello, This is a random question. I signed up for a date to take the DATs before I had all of the information. I thought I had a set list of dental schools I wanted to apply to and I did not realize that when registering for your exam that you could leave all of the dental school boxes...

Hey guys! I was wondering if someone can help check my school list? I currently have ~40 schools and I wouldn't mind applying to that many because I will pre-write essays and I have FAP. I want to get in in the first cycle, which is why I am applying to so many (also because of my MCAT lol). My...

So want to know if anyone has any insight on this. I have applied to two schools that a friend has. She has gotten into both and I have not heard back from either. Does this mean bad news for me? Any insight would be great. (Already got into a school its just not my first choice, and am anxious.)

I’m applying in June and the only downfall of my application i would say is my GPA. Are there any schools known to look at the application as a whole or any schools that focus more on a higher DAT than GPA?

I realize the simple answer is no. But I have heard a lot of emphasis on this given our shortage of primary care docs, and more than a few schools specifically mention it in their mission statement. I personally don't want to be a primary care doctor. I've shadowed one, I have great respect...
