Are you a minority?... If yes, apply to UIC only lol. Take West Virginia off, not oos friendly. If you have CC hours, take tufts off and temple.

Took West Virginia off. Didn't realize they weren't OOS friendly, lol. Thanks for the heads up! As for Tufts and Temple, I've read that they don't accept CC hours for prereqs. My gen. eds. were done at a CC, but my pre-dental prereqs were all done at a 4-year university, so I think that should be fine. I added Loma Linda to my list.

You know about their LoR requirements, right?

Haha, yes. They want a LoR from a spiritual leader. I already have all 4 spots for LoRs on my application filled. I've emailed them to see if my spiritual leader can send in the LoR directly to them. If they say yes, I'll submit my application to them. If they say no, then I'll take them off my list.

Edit: updated religious leader to spiritual leader

Talked to tufts and Boston and they accept CC if it's like 1 class and it's something that less important (like literature credit in my case)

 

[TLV-TUS]

ATSU require a LOT more of volunteering hours, I wouldn't apply there with less than 300-400

add USC and UNLV

Are you referring to pre req courses?

Dang...definitely don't have that many. I'll have to reevaluate this school then. Thank you.

add USC and UNLV

Okay. I will research these two and add them accordingly. Thank you!

Yeah prerequisites. I don't dental school care that much about courses.

You can still call and ask them to get an idea how many volunteer hours is their avg... doesn't hurt to ask.

looks like you could definitely get an interview at Louisville. BUT by the time accepting a school comes by, ask about how many students in the past year graduated on time.. you don't want to be a 5th year senior like some of the upperclassmen here at louisville. The reason is because class size is so big and prices are so high that there aren't enough patients that can afford treatment. ps.more than half of the class of 2017 did not finish their requirements before graduation.
