hey guys, if I'm a non-new york east-coaster with a 3.2 gpa all around, should I bother applying to ASDOH, UCSF, Columbia, and Buffalo, or are some or all of these a waste of application dollars in my case? thanks.

Unless your 7th day adventist, I would not apply to Loma Linda, save the extra spot and money for a different school!
 
ummm, weird, I didn't mention LLU, although I am applying there, and I am adventist.

WEIRD!
 
my dentist thinks NYU dentists suck...plus they mad expensive

and he loves to hire UMDNJ grads...plus umdnj doesnt discriminate between in
state and out of state according to either dr. linfante or dr. wexler ( i cant remember)

UCONN is a bitch to get into...cuz they are the only public school in New ENgland (i got wait listed-pretty upset about that)

Stony Brook wont take outta state students...they gave me an interview it was a big waste of time pretty much the guy who interviewed was a big dingus too

raise ur GPA definetly...every year the standards are going up
tear up the DATS esp. in my opinion the reading, and PATs

UCLA and University of Washington from what ive heard dont really accept out of staters

Opps! A lot of people apply there and end up not filling out the secondary because they ask for a clergy members appraisal. But since you are, then hey that can definitely get you the acceptance!

well california schools are pretty competitive especially for out-of-staters.. if your dat's aren't that high, maybe you shouldn't waste money on the state schools (ucla and ucsf).

You can absolutely apply to Buffalo. Firstly, they take lots of out-of-staters and you can get residency by your second year as long as you live off campus (saving around 60K total). Secondly, they're the best dental school in the nation for around 75 seperates reasons! 😀 😀 😀

BUFFALO! 👍
