Not really sure if my situations counts as "disadvantaged". I come from a low-income family and had to work through out college (sometimes 3 jobs) in order to be less of a financial burden on my family. The thing is that I went to high school in a pretty affluent area and I'm afraid that dental schools are not going to believe me.
P.s: I got financial aid throughout college. My parents paid a total of perhaps $2000 during the entire 4 year period.

What should I do? I don't want to hurt my application.
