Thanks for the advice everyone! I will def add Roseman. I only added UCSF bc I got accepted to their 2 day competitive program back in april and they told me to apply lol. For Midwestern AZ, if I have not yet taken anatomy &physiology, will they not accept my application?
And @AMilman, how early did you apply? I really want to get in USC!

My application was mailed in late June but complete in mid August, I believe August 16th. One of my LORs took their sweet time. As far as USC goes, it seems you have the right stats to get an interview! Their interview process is very different from the others I went to, and usually start and continue later in the cycle than other schools. My interview was in late Feb, so don't panic if you don't get a pre Dec interview. Confidence and social skills are paramount, so be polite and professional, but not shy! I was accepted to Midwestern with incomplete pre reqs, so that will not prevent you from being accepted, but be sure to complete them if you realistically want to go there. Let me know if you have any more questions! Best of luck!
@AMilman , thanks for the input. Can you give me your list of schools where you applied? 🙂
Is this true? My wife wants me to apply there because she likes the idea of Cali, however, I don't think I would be able to put up with the "unscientific" part of it.
Yes it is true. If you are not religious, it is very unlikely that Loma Linda will accept you. They give exceptional preference to applicants who are SDA. It is a faith-based education system and they promote faith-based dentistry. Although you can fake your way in ( which the dean admits that people do), mass is still mandatory. However, the dean also noted that some students who do not care for the mass will just go there to study.

What is "faith based" dentistry - pray the cavities away?
are you mocking religion? not cool bro.
I don't think he meant it maliciously. I'm also curious as to what, exactly, "faith-based dentistry" (as opposed to "regular" dentistry) would entail. And I'm a Christian. 🙂
Thanks for the support, Glimmer, but it was meant maliciously.
Bahaha. At least you owned up to it.
Seriously though, what is "faith-based" dentistry?

ROFL. sorry. I don't think loma linda ever actually said faith based dentistry. I just mashed a bunch of key words together and called it a day. 
It is DEFINITELY, however, a faith-based school. Which just means they place heavy emphasis on religious values.
