My guy, you're fine.

Why on earth have you not applied to Stony or Buffalo yet? Am I missing something here?

 

[Incis0r]

100% you are in. Great DAT!

 

[tc434]

Are you good? Or do you still want more people to tell you you will get in. Enjoy the interview process!

He has UNE but not touro. He has Boston but not NYU. I'm questioning his NY residency lol....

Agreed. Boston and NYU have similar tuition prices and NYU has a great dental program, and that's not just alma mater bias talking. Stony Brook would love you, OP.

Makes zero sense

Stony Brook I heard is very picky with GPA so i saved the money, they have like a 100$ app fee. I can still add i might. Thank you 🙂

Touro is very new so I did not want to take a risk on a new school, and NYU has 365 students per class year! too many, i fear the clinical won't be as satisfying. The student to faculty ratio would be insane

My reading is fairly low though, thats what i am fearing :/

lmao, thank you for the confidence boost. I just fear my low gpa and low RC on the DAT

Best of luck with whatever you choose!

How many students do you think Boston has?

UNE isn't new?

 

[confidentandgood]

How many students do you think Boston has?

They accept 115 students into the DMD program per cycle, so.

Your stats are off the chart... I'm pretty sure you know where you stand and prob have done some solid research about the schools you're applying to. What's the point of this thread?

 

[Likkriue]

My mistake, I though BUs class size was larger. I still don't understand why OP made this thread though. He knows he has great stats, all I can see is an ego stroke.

Sorry just wanted advice, i was fearing my gpa

Your RC is fantastic, not low at all. I do recommend you to spend the extra few hundred bucks for the state schools (stony, ect, even nyu). It will be a hell of a lot more costly to reapply.

Your GPA is on the lower end, but certainly not that low. But your DAT is all the way at the other end of the scale. So I say nothing to worry about.

Add more schools.

NYU is fine, just very costly. If you're a go getter (ie: not the average lazy dental student) you will gain alot of experience from the school. Otherwise it is pretty average in its clinical strength. I graduated from NYU but completed a GPR to boost my clinical skills.

 

[JLT223]

It's a mistake to not apply to your TWO state schools. There's nothing you have to lose except the supplemental fee. You could end up saving so much money.

Isn't a 19 the average for matriculating students? I don't see how that could be "fairly low". Maybe youre talking about ivy league? If I got your scores I'd be psyched.

Your Dat stats will more than cover your gpa not that its bod to begin with... but anyways good luck and look into school average gpa's, if you think your within range then i would advise to apply.
