School demographics

[besteyedee]

Hey guys,

I'm thinking of applying to as many schools as possible without wasting money. Anybody know a site where they tell you updated information of each dental school?

For example, I've heard that UCLA's student body was 100% from California residents. I live on the east coast and was looking at schools in Cali, but UCLA seemed like a waste of money to apply to since 100% is Californian residents.

I am just trying going to try to stay away from schools that barely accept students from different states.

Good approach! I suggest consulting scumbag steve's guide and the ADEA's guide to dental school to check for OOS friendly state schools.

Generally Maryland, VCU, Pitt, and Louisville are the main state schools that accept a good number of OOS students!

The best resource is the ADEA official guide to dental schools. The new one (for those entering in 2018 or 2019) just came out, but I think you can use an older one if you'd like as well, it'd just be a little outdated: 2017-2018 ADEA Official Guide to Dental Schools : American Dental Education Association

Whoa! thanks for your quick reply!! I appreciate it! I will take a look at that guide for sure. (right now actually)

Just took a look at that as well...seems like there's no online version

UCLA's student body was most recently 78 in state, 7 out of state, and 2 international according to the latest version of the ADEA guide. It's certainly more difficult to get accepted as an out of state student, but your intel of the student body being 100% Cali residents is incorrect.

I think the online version is set to come out in June or July, so it's not much of a wait! Unless you really need it now and want to order the physical copy, I would just use some of the data on the pinned threads (doc toothache and scumbag steve's guides) until then

Thank you so much for that. I've been going with this site which I found last year...

Yeahhhhhhhh, trying to send my applications in by 6/1 and get it over with and then put 100% into my 2nd time DATs so I don't have another thing to worry about while studying.

Just briefly looking at a few schools on that page, it's extremely outdated. Do not use that as a source because it's very inaccurate. Do yourself a favor and buy the ADEA guide... not doing so puts you at a disadvantage to more well-informed applicants.
