Help with School List

Hi everyone. I was wondering if you could give me some adivce on which schools to add to my list.

Background: I was dismissed from dental school ten years ago for poor grades......just wasn't ready for it/mature enough to handle it at the time.

Since then, I have been working full time/volunteering and just completed my MS in Biomedical Sciences last year.
GPA 3.6 (Grad)
DAT AA21.
Currently still volunteering at free dental clinic when I can (250ish hours this year)
Previous dental lab experience (1 year)
Lots of shadowing over several years

I'm a current WV resident. I interviewed there last year with no luck, so I need to expand my search. I know the obvious red flag is a problem, but I have worked very hard to try to make up for it. I'm just not sure if I ever can, but I'm gonna keep trying.

Currently I have:

WVU
Ohio State
Case
UK
Louisville
VCU
UCONN
Boston
SUNY Buffalo
MICH
UNLV

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

I know I'll need to apply to more places, I'm just not sure how many.

When you say Boston, which school do you mean? BU and Tufts or just BU? i'd add TUSDM to your list.

 

[rudspan]

I meant BU, but I'll add Tufts as well.

Any other suggestions?

Anyone know of schools that might be more accepting to non-trads or someone in a similar position as myself?

NYU $$$$

Add in LECOM and MWU IL and AZ.
Maybe USC if you're willing to pay the tuition

Any suggestions on trimming this thing down?

You need to cut like half of those! You're going to be up to your eyeballs in secondary fees and applications!!
