Entering Class of 2007 - How Many Dental Schools Did You Apply To?

Members don't see this ad.

Just wondering how many schools everybody applied to...

This is for matriculation for the Fall of 2007 (class of 2011 except for UOP)...

__________________________________________

Based on the number of applications and the number of enrollees in the 2006-2007 Official Guide to Dental Schools, I figured out this much:

This is an estimate as it is based on data from two different years but is better than no info...

Entering class of 2004-2005 had 9433 applicants and 4612 enrolled.

74062 applications were filled out for the entering class of 2005-2006.

Based on these two numbers we can approximate an average of 8 schools applied to with an acceptance rate of 47% overall. Pretty competetive!

you mean the class of 2011. I applied to 5 schools. Loma Linda, VCU, UNMC, Creighton and UCLA.

Twenty for me. My excuse is that there is no public in-state school here.

I wonder how many have added significant numbers of schools after applying. I am sure it is no small number considering the sharp increase in applicants this cycle.
