Hi everybody. I was hoping if some of you can give me some school list advice as well as school specific ones.
Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated 🙂

my GPA is 3.6, sGPA might be a little higher
DAT: AA(22) TS(22) PAT(21) lowest is QR(18)
I have ~300 dental hours, 1500 hrs of research with 2 papers in review
I am a california resident

Here is my working list:
ASDOH
UCLA
UCSF
Western
UoP
USC
Louisville
Tufts
Maryland
Columbia
NYU
Case
UPenn
Roseman

What do you guys think? I also want to add UDM and Michigan but they require you to take microbiology....which I didn't take.
I just dont know a lot about any non-california schools so im worried my list may be swayed towards "bigger name" schools and miss out.

Thanks in advance for your reply!

Looks pretty good to me!

How many service hours do you have? Enough for ASDOH?

Otherwise, looks good to me as well.

thanks for the reply guys!

If I had your stats, I wouldnt apply to Tufts, NYu, Roseman and USC.

Add UDM and michigan because they let you take Microbiology (or any other pre-req u didnt complete) the summer before matriculation.

do i need to put that as a class i will be taking? because i dont want to take it unless if i end up deciding to go there...

You dont need to. But they might/will ask you if you are planning to take it when u call them to schedule for an interview (if u are invited of course). Then you just say you are indeed planning to take it. Thats what I did and it worked out fine

I second this. I'd save my money. Great stats! Best of luck.
