Im debating about whether it would be wise to completing forget AADSAS and apply to only my state school, UT Memphis. I consider myself a competitive applicant with a 3.5 cumulative in Mechanical Engineering. Ive had a good amount of shadowing experience, extra curriculars, and work experience. Im also taking the DAT on 5/25.
UT Memphis is my first choice and it is also the most financially viable option in terms of obtaining the DDS degree. Worst case scenario I would work as an engineer for a year and apply again in 07. I have had many internships and co-op work experiences as an engineer so I do not think I would have any difficulty getting a job if I didnt get into Memphis this year.
Another factor is all of the application costs. I figure it would take about $700 to apply to 6 schools through AADSAS, plus any interview costs. This is compared to the single $50 application fee at Memphis.
What do you guys think?
