are u sure about this Mo007??
Cause I remember a earlier post stating that Temple was already at 2000+ applications, and Gavin stated Arizona is at 1700 (is that above last year?).....so Im assuming applications are VERY high this year!
If you sent yours out Sept. 11 and you're 4333, than I bet right now they are at 6000-6500.....so almost at last years total and we havent even hit November yet!!!

from what i've been understanding, there definately has been a rise in the number of applicants to the schools that i have interviewed at. i'm assuming that since there has been a rise in applications at these schools one can make a safe guess that the total number of applications this years to the nation's dental school would be higher as well.
as no one can really predict what the final tally will be, i think all we can do is really try ourbest at our interviews and hope we stand out! =)

I think there will be more applicants this year. If it follows trend there ought to be.
Secondly, I know that there is a handful of schools getting a lot of good publicity these days, so their numbers are up.

Arizona for one, thanks to ItsGavinC's publicity campaign on SDN.
But seriously, the slumping economy is going to be a factor in the rising applications to ALL professional programs. However, I wouldnt expect more than a 5% rise from last year.

At my interview at Tufts a few weeks ago they mentioned their numbers were up much higher (200 more for the same time period last year).
Also, I applied last year but withdrew my application. I applied in late september and my number was in the mid 3,000's.
There are definetly more applicants this year, or AADSAS is doing something much differrent/faster.
