I was just wondering if there are some dental schools out there who favor minorities?? (I'm Asian-American)

asians may be a minority in the real world, but not for professional schools.

so none for you

How about if you're a black male? My first choice is University of Michigan, but are there certain dental schools that will favor being a minority more so than others?

Yea, I agree w/ above...
As far as I heard, stastically about 40% of total applicant has been some sort of Asian...
And D-schools don't consider Asian as minority...

But W/ African American, Meharry & Howard would be good choice...
They have been historically African-american schools...

Good Luck...

yah good luck being an asian american. That ethnic group is just too competitive. Most of the interviews I went to had at least 20% asian interviewee. Good luck man, work up your app so you stand a chance

only way you get minority status is if you black or spanish, asian is not the answer.

Howard accepted about 35-40% Asian last year, so that might be something. Howard was actually pretty cool too.

If you're banking on your race to get ahead in life then you deserve no respect.

A bit high. Only 10 out of 72 (~14%) were AsAm in 2008.

What if I'm half native america/ half Alaskan Inuit? Would my stats be sufficient?

No, you need to be greater than 50% of one or the other. You can't add percentages across different races.
