20 AA/ 21 TS/ 20 PAT
3.96 overall GPA/ 3.92~ sGPA
Alabama Resident


University Alabama at Birmingham
USC
Lake Eerie College of Osteopathic Medicine
University of Florida
Nova
Indiana
University of Kentucky
University of Louisville
University of Maryland
NYU
VCU

Only one that really concerns me is NYU. I know they have a thing against CC credits, but I've heard on here that they make exceptions I suppose. I realize UF is a long shot, but it's one of my ideal schools, so I'm going to go ahead and take that $75 risk. Do the rest look fine? I feel confident about my stats, but nothing is a given. 11-12 schools is my limit as far as finances goes.

IMO, I'd take out NYU and replace it with buffalo (in-state tuition after 1-year residency = 😍)

Appreciate it Dentalworks. Seems like there was a reason I hadn't picked Buffalo... Hmmm. I'll do some quick research and see if I can come up with my reasoning, if not I'll probably do that. The rest of the schools look fine? I really don't see a reason why I shouldn't be good to get a few interviews, but nothing is a certainty.

Ah, the website says they strongly recommend 100 shadowing hours. I only have 75 or so. Probably thought that was a red flag. I guess VCU has a high requirement according to the ADEA book too... but I didn't see that listed on their website.

I'd still apply there... I mean, $100,000 dollar cheaper than most out-of-state schools is a great investment

True statement. Appreciate your help through all of this Dentalworks.
