Hi there, I'd be grateful for any feedback on the list of schools I'm planning on applying to this cycle

About me:

• Incoming senior at UC Berkeley
• CA resident
• Total GPA: 3.79 / sGPA: 3.75
• DAT: 21AA/22TS
• 300+ hours shadowing (general, endo, ortho)
• Work experience in 3 dental offices
• Volunteering experience (dental & non-dental related) at local elementary school since freshman year
• One research position
• Lots of work experience (campus jobs, etc.)
• Highschool biology tutor

List of schools:

• UCLA
• UCSF
• UOP
• USC
• NYU
• Boston University
• Baylor (Texas A&M)
• Univ. of Michigan
• Univ. of Colorado
• UPenn
• Columbia
• Creighton
• Tufts
• Case Western
• Rutgers

Is it possible to get interviews at these schools? Would it be wise to drop or add any more? Thank you!!!!

I too dreamed of going to Baylor, but I took it out of my list. They don't look at too many OOS.

I have similar stats as you too, CA residence. All the schools im applying to are part of your list, but I thought about Tufts, NYU, UPenn, and Columbia also. I took all of those off my list atm because it costs a bit too much to apply and i think I will get into cali schools first anyway. UCLA & UCSF give us a better homefield advantage over UPenn and Columbia and are also way cheaper. Being so close to UCSF, I bet you have pretty big homefield advantage there! Side note, did you consider Western in pomona?

Yeah I think the CA schools will probably be our best bet being residents. I haven't looked into Western that much..are you applying there?

As of this point, yes!

I'm pretty sure your stats are good enough to get into all those schools, best of luck!
