My aunt works at the dental school I want to go to, and my mom taught there a while back. My mom still keeps in touch with some of the professors, and one of them just had a daughter who applied and didn't get in. Of course you can never know the complete scope of a person's application, but her's sounded pretty rock solid. So the speculation is that she didn't get in the first time because they don't want to show favorites or partiality. This makes me nervous...
