Hey guys!

I am currently trying to figure out which schools I should apply to and have the best shot at getting in. I used the ADEA official guide to dental schools to create a comparison between a bunch of schools but I need help narrowing down the list from here. Heres some stats:

oGPA: 3.4 (strong upward trend)
sGPA: 3.36
AA: 22
TS: 21
Bio: 21
Chem: 23
OChem: 20
PAT: 22
RC: 22
QR: 23
I have LORs from my school's committee, a science professor, and a general dentist
I also have over 500 volunteer hours and about 200 shadowing hours (plus working as a dental assistant)

List of Schools:

University of Missouri- Kansas City
Arizona School of Dentistry and Oral Health
Western University
Howard University
LECOM
University of Maryland
University of New England
University of Detroit Mercy
Midwestern- Arizona
Columbia (my reach school)
NYU
University of Pittsburgh
Temple University
Virginia Commonwealth
Touro
Case Western

Any schools I should add/remove?

Thanks for the help!!!

Are you an underrepresented minority? If not, take out Howard.

Take out UMKC, not the most OOS friendly school.

Your stats are fairly competitive (GPA on the lower side) so I think you can afford to take out some of the expensive private schools. I suggest maybe taking out the west coast schools because of how far away they are from home (if that kind of thing matters to you). Or replace one with Louisville, a very OOS friendly school.

Remove ASDOH and Touro.

Remove ASDOH and Touro.

Why do you say that?

Actually, ASDOH is fine. Touro, on the other hand, is a bit too new for me to comfortably apply to.
