What Should I do? On a secondary that I am filling out for a D.O. school, it asks what professional schools have I applied to this year. Should I list the Dental schools that I have applied to this year or should I not?

Did you not just answer your own question?
You applied to other professional schools.
The app asked you this.

List all professional schools you applied to. If you want to go DO, then you can show that during your interview. If you would rather go for the DDS/DMD, then be careful what you say during the DO interview.

Good Luck!
 
Represent yourself honestly in your applications and in interviews. Nothing is worse for your chances than being seen as fake and/or a liar.
 
yes lying would be looked down on, but they would never know. just lie, it looks bad if u applied to 2 totally different professions.

Yeah and just forget to pay part of your taxes. They'll never know. Drive without insurance too. You'll probably never get into an accident anyways. People these days...

I never get why people ask these ethics questions. JUST FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS AND DO THE RIGHT THING!

I disagree with this...Just remember that you are certifying that EVERYTHING in your application is the truth! Not only that, but if they find out you are lying, it is grounds for expulsion at any point while you are in school. It would suck to get kicked out because you didn't list a couple of schools on your app. I had the same question on my secondary from NSU, and it wasn't a huge deal. They asked me why I applied where I applied during my interview, and I gave them an honest answer.
 
If I'm not mistaken Nova has a dual DO/Dentistry program in the works so you apply there and do both 🙂
