Notes: Hi, this is my first time posting in this forum. I am currently a junior and I am planning to apply to dental school next year summer. I would like to know is there anything I can do to improve my chances of getting into ONE dental school. Thank you so much for all your replies and suggestions!

Misc Info/Things not stated elsewhere/Red Flags: So I saw that Stony Brook want applicant who took AP to take an advanced math class in college or retake Calc1 and Calc2. Since I haven't take any math for 4 years, I decided to retake Calc1 and Calc2. The only problem right now is that since my school already accept my AP score, I now has a repeat on the Calc class I am taking right now. I wonder if I can explain this situation to the dental school 🙁. I also can't drop the class now because that will appear on my transcript as a withdraw.
School list:
NYU
Stony Brook (dream school)
Buffalo
Touro (close to my house)
Once again, thank you so much for all of the suggestion and comment or just reviewing my list!
