It isn't too late, but it is getting pretty late.

Why is your list of schools to add so long? It might help to narrow those down a bit. Even better, call the schools, let them know what you are planning on doing, and see what they recommend.

Some schools might be booked with interviews until February, which doesn't leave you much of a chance if you are just adding schools this week.

Call the schools to get the hard facts, and then add them if you feel like you are in a good position. This is a much better route than blindly throwing money out the window.

It's not late, but since more people applying this year, classes fill out earlier, and the chances of getting in somewhere gets very slim.

Ok, If you want to add some more schools, I can guarantee you will not get an interview this year. Why? AADSAS alone will take 3-4 weeks to pass your application to the schools, which will be in mid-Dec. Nothing much happens in Dental Schools around this time, and by then schools have officially selected students, and many schools will have alternate lists to work with.

You still have a chance, if you add schools as soon as possible, just understand this stage of the application cycle is the most competitive.

Good Luck
