Hi, does it matter what college you are going when you apply to dental schools? For instance, would a 3.4 GPA at an Ivy League be better than a 3.7 at a local university? Have a good day~

I just wrote a topic "Better School or Better GPA" because I had exactly the same question. I sent email to Admission offices and got about 8 answers from them. I hope this helps.

Perhaps at some schools the words "Ivy League" carries some weight, but overall I believe that adcoms compare and contrast gpa's and DAT scores with not too much consideration given to the name of your school. I attended a state university and did very well when it came to interviews and acceptances. What does this all mean? - Don't worry about where you came from, focus on your talents, strenghts, and abilities, and winning 'em over in the interview because what counts is where you are headed.
