Hi everyone!
I have recently applied to 7 dental schools (UoP, UCSF, UCLA, U Conn, SIU, UT San Antonio, and UT Houston).
GPA: 3.99
sGPA: 3.98
DAT: 21
100+ hours Shadowing/interning
150+ hour biochem research
100+ hour volunteering
I finished my second year of college in May and took the DAT in the beginning of July. I will be graduating from my university after three years as I took extra classes each semester and summer classes.
Does anyone think applying a year earlier than traditional students will hinder my chances of getting acceptances? Many professors and friends have told me I am rushing into dental school and should take more time, however, I would have been bored if I did not push myself. Essentially, what kind of chances am I looking at into getting accepted into a program?
