Do dental schools like their applicants to have volunteering experience??

Yes. Some schools officially require. All schools effectively require it.

They want an applicant to stand out.

If you're going to volunteer, you'll just be like every cookie-cutter applicant out there.

Don't volunteer. Be different.

They may "like volunteering experience" but it is unlikely to be a deal breaker.

Be different in what ways?
