Maybe increase general dentist shadowing hours. Stats look good but I would add a few more private safety schools

Thank you! Any specific safety schools in mind?

Also, do you think I have a strong chance at any of the schools I've mentioned?

Lecom and case western are decent. Maybe Boston?
I think you have a shot but just remember none of us on SDN are adcoms so take what everyone says with a grain of salt, myself included.

Your chances are strong, you should’ve applied to a couple more schools though.
