Alrighty folks, its that time and since I begin applying next month, I figured I should nail down all the schools I want to apply to.

I did not take general anatomy during undergrad as it was not required for my major and it was too late in the game after my decision to apply to dental school to take it so I can't apply to programs that require it.

I'm looking to add a couple more public programs that switches to in-state tuition after the first year.

What say you?

Solid stats. Good list.
Do you speak all of those languages fluently? 😱. What is your ethnicity?
UNLV gives IS tuition after the first year.

Apply where you want to go. It's as easy as that. Your stats are good.

I speak Spanish and Portuguese fluently, and some think that I speak Italian fluently though I'd rate myself as proficient. The dang vocab is just harder to practice in the states as there aren't as many Italians around to speak with.

I'm a white American but I had some service opportunities working with immigrant populations during which I learned these languages. Kept them up since via Skype and classes in undergrad.

Right, I was just wondering if there were schools to which some would recommend I apply where it'd be more likely for me to get in.
