Truly need help figuring out what schools would be a good fit. Currently at a large public university and like it
stats:
DAT:
23 AA
22TS
22PAT

GPA:
3.8_ oGPa
3.6_sGPA

Florida resident
extracurriculars are fine

besides UF I have no idea where to apply. Was thinking UL, UK, UAB. Any other ideas?
 
You have the stats to apply most places.

Think about where you would like to live. From there, pick the most monetarily feasible schools. I'd say apply to 10-13 schools.
 
Very vague topic with post,

What courses have you taken?

2) where do you want to study in the US? ( seasonal, cold, warm, or hot climates)

GPA looks good
Dat looks good
Any other experiences?

I honestly have no preference for geographic location. I just want a good dental school that will adequately prepare me for the future. I've taken all the prerequisite courses already and still have a year of undergrad left.
Research, fraternity, tutoring, two jobs, etc.
What is nsu?

Go to a school which has a large patient pool, and that require a lot of clinical procedures to pass.

IMO
NYU, COLUMBIA, PENN, Buffalo, UOP, TUFTS
These schools will prepare you, especially if you putting in that effort. And then choose a good residency program.

Good dentists are who make patients happy, who are honest, who are prepared .

Will these schools challenge me as we'll? And are the students there willing to learn? I want to be surrounded by a ton of kids who are excited to be learning and show some passion for success and knowledge.
 
I have heard mixed things about this school. Can you give me any good details about it?

My knowledge of the school is limited because I declined the offer but from interviewing there it seemed like a pretty good school. It was a little bit on the expensive side being a private school but you will probably get more details from checking out the Nova thread or getting in touch with a current student.

-best of luck

You're planning to apply to a professional school. If someone is willing to go through the entire application process, they should be pretty sure about going to dental school. Any dental school will challenge you.

I expect all schools to challenge me, but many kids just want to be here as an expected stepping stone towards money.

...IDK the application process is far too tedious for people to SOLEY be motivated by money.

Well I sure hope so haha! But back to my original question: are there any super strong stretch schools I should apply to? Thanks!
