Final Tally: Applied to 18 schools, invited to interview at 3, elected to interview at only 2/3, received 2 acceptances. Conversely, I applied to 3 four-year military scholarships for dental school and was awarded all 3 four-year scholarships (100%)! Who honestly knows what any one of these groups is looking for in an applicant
Applied to 20 did secondary for 15 --> 4 interviews--> 1 acceptance to my state public school with the total cost of 4 years less than 150k living at home. One acceptance but the best one I can ever asked for.
