is it worth applying to anymore schools now???

[dentpro]

Hi all, I would like to get some advice and honest opinions about applying to anymore schools this late. I am a resident of FL and have applied to UF, Nova, UM, Detroit mercy, U Tenn, Baylor, UK, Louiseville. I applied late in the month of September. I have a 3.55/3.45 gpa/sgpa and DAT (19/19/19 TS/SCI/PAT). I just got denied at Nova with no interviews. All the other schools are still reviewing my app. I have not received any interviews yet. Please post your honest suggestions if I still have any chance of getting an interview from any other schools this late and if any to which school should I apply. Thanks for your time.

hmm... i think you should probably wait until next year. september is still a little late i think and since you haven't heard back from any of those schools yet, i think it's unlikely applying to some more schools even later will do any good.

if you have a lot of money to spare, then i think you should go ahead and apply to a few more schools. but if not, i think you should save it for the next cycle and just apply super early and your chances will be really high!

if you really want to add a few more schools.... i think tufts and temple still have a lot of interviews to hand out?

Honestly, I would say hold off unless money isn't a worry at all. If you do add, I would say NYU might be a good bet because they interview quite deep into the year I've heard. I would give the schools a call too and say you were curious how many more interviews they have and ask if its worth applying.

In tough economic times UT, Baylor, UK and Louisville would quite likely welcome the contribution.
