I have applied to eight schools:
vcu (instate)
maryland
buffalo
temple
midwestern Il
case
louisville
nyu

My stats:
3.49 overall gpa
3.3 BCP gpa
3.15 science gpa
20AA 20TS 22PAT 22RC (16 QR...)
huge upward trend in gpa
500 dental related hours, paid and nonpaid
150 volunteer (non dental) hours
bio research

so.. my question is should I apply to more schools? I was in the second batch for all eight listed above.
I have not received any interview invites yet, but I know only buffalo, nyu, and case have given out invites from my list.
I am thinking of adding UMDNJ and NOVA..
do you think I should add more schools? if so which ones?
or am I just being paranoid way to early?

also I didn't apply to BU or Tufts because they don't accept pre-reqs from community college and I had some.

Thank you in advance for any words of advice! 🙂

Is it even worth it to add more schools at this point?

Ya I would recommend applying to 4 more schools just in case. Have you applied to the dental schools from your home state if you qualify. Also, I think if you apply this week, make sure you decide and make your payment by Weds to be safe. That way, they prepare your application on Thurs, and it will be sent out this Fri for the 6th batch. I added one more school last week (which I thought would be late), but now my app is being reviewed which was quick. Good luck!
