I'm trying to understand what factors I should use to create a list of schools to apply to and I have a few questions.
Is there such a thing as schools thinking that an applicant considers them a safety and rejecting them on that basis? I have heard this claimed here and there but without any serious substantiation. NOVA's secondary asks applicants to list all schools they are applying to (Source: Nova Secondary: "List all dental schools that you are applying to"). It would seem that they use this information to see how they rank for a particular applicant. I do not know what other schools ask for this.
If this is a risk, what can be done prior to application to show schools that I will seriously consider them asides from actually applying?
