Advice on schools list please :)

[prydA]

Hello all,

I'm about to submit my application to AADSAS Just wanted to see if you guys had any opinions on what schools I should add or take off. I'm afraid I might be leaving out a couple of good schools, or maybe some of these schools are too far of a reach with my stats? =/ I have a ~3.3GPA/SCIENCE and my DAT scores are 21/21/22. My list currently has 22 schools...

Arizona School of Dentistry and Oral Health (AZ)
Boston University Goldman School of Dental Medicine (BU)
Case School of Dental Medicine (CWR)
Columbia University College of Dental Medicine (CUL)
Creighton University (CRE)
Loma Linda University (LLU)
Midwestern University (MWU)
New York University (NYU)
Stony Brook University (SUSB)
The Maurice H. Kornberg School of Dentistry, Temple University (TEMP)
Tufts University (TUF)
University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA)
University of California, San Francisco (UCSF)
University of Maryland (MYD)
University of Michigan (MICH)
University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV)
University of Pennsylvania (PENN)
University of Pittsburgh (PITT)
University of Southern California (USC)
University of the Pacific Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry (UOP)
West Virginia University (WVA)
Western University of Health Sciences (WESTU)

Thanks for any advice at all!!

Where is your state of residence?

your list seems fine to me. some might find it extensive/expensive, but if you're comfortable, go for it. you have good mix of private schools in there, in case you're worried about your stats, which are also fine.

If you are from CA then i would not suggest Stony Brook as they have only 7-8 seats for out staters. Use that money to apply to some other school.

Exactly why I am not applying to that Stony Brook.

You can still keep it, but Columbia might be more on the difficult side of getting in. Please, let me know how the application progresses for you though.
