I'm having a really hard time. My sGPA/oGPA are both about 3.1-3.15 according to the AADSAS grading. I'm in the middle of studying for the DAT, but I'm aiming for around a 22AA. I have a huge list of schools and it changes daily, and I know it's not feasible to apply to more than 20. I'm a Texas resident, not a minority, but also have a ton of shadowing and volunteering hours.

Here's what my list looks like today:
Roseman
BU
LSU
AT Still Arizona
UNLV
Touro
Howard
UNE
VCU
Michigan
UCLA
Nova
East Carolina
LECOM
Utah
Detroit Mercy
Louisville
Minnesota
Midwestern Arizona
Marquette
Indiana

I'm also applying to all three Texas schools! I know this is a lot but I'm indecisive and I'm really having trouble. When I go to take schools off my list, I always end up adding instead.

howard is a HBCU
UCLA and Michigan are going to be a huge stretch for you being OOS and 3.1 GPA
I believe east Carolina takes extremely few OOS students
UNE prefers students from the new England area

you're right! I was looking at the statistics again and realized east Carolina didn't take any OOS two cycles ago so it's not worth applying to. I thought howard had an acceptance of about 10-15% for asians? and I didn't realize it was that much of a stretch for UCLA and Michigan, so I removed them. thank you!

UNE prefers in state. However, they only have 39 applicants that are in state out of which they accept 15. In a class of 64, only 15 are IS and 47 are OOS.

Look into western university’s dental school. Their average GPA is very close to yours and their average DAT is 20.

The picture below is their class profile.

Can't be concrete without a DAT score. Come back once you've gotten the 22 (because honestly, who shoots for a low score?)
