Hello everybody,

I was just writing to ask if anybody thinks it's still worth it to apply to some more dental schools? Are schools like Howard or USC giving out more interviews?

USC will be interviewing until spring. No idea about Howard. Are you an URM?

What is URM?

Under-represented minority

Can you even apply at this point? Honestly if you can, I'd say go for it solely because of the two schools you mentioned, which both interview into the spring.

USC - because they're hella expensive so the turnover rate is pretty high
Howard - their turnover rate is also high, due to it being a safety for many people. I've seen people interviewing in like June in previous years

Oh wow yeah I sent in my apps! I also sent it in for some other schools but fingers crossed!
I think I might be but I don't remember listing myself as one on my app?

Haha well there's no option to check if you're URM, but you will be treated as so if you marked your ethnicity as Hispanic/Black/Native American/Pacific Islander etc.

Great! Had no idea you could apply so late. Good luck!

Thank you so much! Yeah I'm not either of those haha so I guess not!

Did the cycle go well for you sugarbug93?
