Members don't see this ad.

My goal was to apply to 10 schools, but I'm currently at 15. Do you think this is how many I should apply to or can I narrow it down more? I am trying to pick good schools that are OOS friendly but also not ridiculously expensive. Thanks for the help (I know these posts are annoying)!

Current list:
Michigan
Pitt
Virginia
Harvard
Marquette
Temple
Rutgers
Conn
UCSF
Maryland
Case
Iowa
Mercy
Tufts
Indiana

Undergrad-University of Michigan

i believe with your stats you can narrow it down more. you have an above average DAT score and GPA. good luck!

With your stats I would apply to all of those and see which one comes through with the most scholarship money for you....

Sorry this might be a really stupid question but I'm new to dentistry so I don't have much knowledge about these things. I was just wondering why applicants with strong stats usually don't apply to UCLA?

@Lilly5555 UCLA is not OOS friendly at all. @umichdent2015 remove some of those schools (Rutgers, Pitt, Conn) unless you really want to go there if accepted

UCLA is very OOS unfriendly. I believe according to the ADEA book from last year, almost 900 OOS students applied and only 15 were interviewed.

@ultimateballer07 what do you mean by 'those' schools? are those known for not being as OOS friendly?

@JGB_2 They will probably make us duel hahah. How does your school list differ from mine? Just curious.

 

[ultimateballer07]

Rutgers and Conn are not OOS friendly, especially Conn. You can leave Pitt on there if you want but it's likely that you'll get into a better school. That's why I said drop it
