[ktquestions]

Hi! To start out, I'm half African American and Japanese in a small American school in Japan. I'm in the process of looking for BS/DDS programs but I was wondering if I even have a chance to get into one of these programs.
Since I would be considered an international student, I understand my chances are even lower but here are my credentials until now. (Rising junior)

GPA- 3.75 UW 4.0 W
AP Japanese-5
(Planning to take)
AP Biology-2 🙁
APUSH-3
AP Government-3
AP English Language & Composition-3
AP English Literature-3
AP Computer Science-4
AP Calculus-3

SAT- 1510

ECs
Chemistry Club Pres.
Founder/President of Medical Club
Service Club
Varsity XC (Champion)
National Honor Society
Student Council VP
Basketball Varsity

ECs outside of school
Shadowed dentist for 30+ hours
Work experience at a dental office
Work experience at an utility shop
Dental Summer Program
Virtual Shadowing

I'm most interested in Howard University's BS/DDS Program (6 years)

Again, I am an international student, so I would have to be above and beyond other applicants, but based on those credentials do I have a good chance to get into Howard's program?

Thank you so much for reading this!! Any advice or insight would help!!!

i'm sure you would be competitive, but not sure how being an international would affect your chances...

Are BS/DDS programs less competitive than BS/MD programs?

You have a good chance, but even if you have your eye on one school I would recommend applying to as many combined programs as you can because they do not have many spots. Some have as little as 10 seats.
