2 cycles 🙂
1st cycle i only applied to CA schools, bc i wanted to stay local. 2nd time, applied all over. I am SO GLAD that i got to move away and live somewhere different for the next 4 years!!! I <3 Tufts & Boston. Everything happens for a reason 🙂
Key is to apply EVERYWHERE. better than waiting out a year right? I only applied to 13 schools 2nd time, but if I recommend applying to a good 25-30.

25-30 seems really high to me! I was under the impression that 7-8 was average. I applied to 7 the first time and 6 the second. The first time the places were all over but the second time I did more research and focused on where I wanted to go and why. I think that had a lot to do with me being accepted the 2nd time.

Eek!

That could potentially be:

$25x30 + $75x30 = $3000

That's a lot! 😱

The most expensive thing is not getting in.

2 cycles for me, cost me a $25,000 master's and a year of lost dental salary by not getting in the first time.

One cycle for me as well...4 pre dec 1 interviews, 4 acceptances...applied to like 16+ schools though. I guess my stats aren't that great but I am one hell of an interviewee!
