I have a question for Nova's supplemental. In it, they ask for a list of all the dental schools I am applying to. I am applying to 15 in total. My question is that should I list them all because they have a way to see the list themselves from AADSAS or am I supposed to lie. And if I am honest about the 15, does it make my application look bad and make it seem like I am just trying to get in anywhere.

you are not suppose to lie in any part of your application. 😏

Just be honest and list all of the schools you applied to, I applied to 21 schools and had no problems.
 
I agree...just be honest. I applied to 13 and listed them all. Nova called me yesterday and asked if I wanted an October interview and I was ecstatic. I think that by having a large number of schools, it shows that you are dedicated to becoming a dentist, not that you aren't particularly interested in them. They know how stiff the competition is out there and how no one is guaranteed anything 🙂

Agreed, I put down that I had 20 schools that I applied to, and they literally said, wow you are serious about becoming a dentist.
 
I put down all the schools i am applying to. i dont want it too look bad either, but lying looks a lot worse
 
to the op

i'm in the same boat, i applied to 15 schools, listed them all on the nova application and they gave me an interview. so i don't think it looks negative in any light.

just wondering, are you serious about Nova? just wondering because it's definitely in my top 2
