Thank you all, I'm open to all advice and questions

I would think that VCU would give you an opportunity. Have you attended any of these campuses? I'm curious why you are applying to Howard's program.

Your 2025 AP scores should be posted. I would expect 2026 to be out soon.

All scores were updated, I just forget to remove that line. I have only visited VCU's dental school building through a summer program.

I wanted to apply to Howard because of geographical distance from home and also their focus on URMs. I did hear the current news about student unenrollments that makes me skeptical

How many students from your Governor's School have gone to Howard? I'm just curious. Has anyone gotten into a BS/DMD before? I'm just a bit skeptical since many of the students admitted to Howard probably didn't do as many AP's... but I can't attest to that.

A few students have gone to Howard, maybe 4 or 5 in the past few years. The only person who I know got into a BS/DMD is currently attending VCU and was from our Governors School.
