That is a strong statement. OP, you must have two sets of balls if you are telling the truth on predents. Only four schools?OP, Looking at your credentials, you have enough hardware to gain acceptance anywhere. Do not worry at all.

i'm only 21.....going into my senior year.....i figured if i don't get in this year, i will regroup and make my app stronger for next year. gunning for it though
Good luck!
i'm open to constructive criticism, honestly. if you have something tangible to recommend, please do by all means

invictusx,
What's your take on applying to numerous schools including several "safeties" to ensure acceptance?

I see. I was merely bewildered since you didn't seem to have several safety schools, even with you above average credentials. That is all haha. 🙂
The question is, if anyone is willing to take the hit (ie YEAR OFF) if for some unknown reason you don't get in this cycle... unlucky, botched interview, etc etc.
Vivi is cool with it.
I'm already taking 2 years off so I can't afford anymore 🙁
And invictusx is still young 😉 you would know, JOoa0ky
Nonetheless, I'm presuming that you've figured out how to cover the colossal cost of dental school? just trying to give you a "constructive criticism" hereViviPreDent said:in addition, i literally do not have the money to apply to more schools than that...
I disagree. I think if your goal is becoming A dentist, then a "fit" should be a secondary factor. Hence you should include some schools that might accept you but not necessarily the best fit for you. But I respect your opinion, which is like a belly. Everyone has one.invictusx said:I think it's important to ensure "safeties" but only those that you are interested in attending.

yeah i completely understand the bewilderment....i've gotten more than one WTF moment from fellow applicants. i guess i am just rolling with my art major side in the thinking that you need to take a strong idea and go with it 150 percent to make it your own.
🙂
A little confusing there...
threads like these make me happy that i accepted my only school offer instead of reapplying for another whole year, it reminds of how much it totally sucked waiting for a call that was never guranteed to come.
also, i started dschool 3 weeks ago and its awesome. take it from me, even if you get accepted to one school, GO!
I can imagine. I will be extraordinarily happy to attend any of the schools I applied to, which genuinely is why I applied to them.
Good luck with dental school!
EXACTLY!
i don't see the point in applying to schools i would not be happy attending 🙂
ViviPreDent, I am in your shoes as well. Sooooo stressed 🙁 Let's vent together, shall we?
And the thing is, I was in the first batch.
If you wanted some early interviews for confidence you shoulda applied to more back up schools. Applying to only 4 schools is something you do in High School EVEN with your stats (I know I only applied to two UC's for undergrad lol). I got my interviews for VCU and BU pretty early with my stats even though I ultimately didn't go to the interview since I decided to stay in Cali, It's always nice to have options. But seems like stats are no problem for you and as long as you had a good personal statements I'm sure you'll get an interview at one of these places. Just make sure you nail the Interview cause I'm sure when they see high stats like these they pay even closer attention to make sure your not some crazy anti social no life, especially at the top schools like UCLA and Columbia.
Carrying a messenger bag or rucksack and some sort of sketch pad with drawing utensil, wearing ripped jeans and converses, blasting emo/indie music, and green or blue hair are big no no's for a dental school interview! Just a friendly head's up from a science major! 😀yeah the issue with number of schools right now is money...not sheer stupidity lol....but i hear you on the importance of the interview. i'm not worried though,i'm really not your typically science nerd, hence the double major in studio art. i like to talk and socialize! haha

Wow....I'll see you there.i'm not like that either...i'm just a normal girl i swear...lol. thanks for the heads up though, i was planning on creepily sketching my interviewers at PENN on september 23rd!!!!! ahhhnfeuqfeqnfjrlerjfneklbfjks so excited!
Wow....I'll see you there.
jk.
Anyway, interview != acceptance. I must admit though. That was a huge slap in the face.
as if theon this thread wasn't?
in all seriousness though, good luck in your future endeavors. idk where you're applying, etc. but you seem like a wise, prepared person.
If he's my classmate in the future, I'd drive him nuts! Ho Ho Ho
But I digress, close this thread as it's no longer valid!
Haha vivipredent, look for a guy on a black suit, red tie, and an aura of confidence on 23rd! That'd most likely be me.
Maybe I'll just wear a name tag of "mc719"
