Should I Apply to These Schools?

Aloha,

I have been stalking these forums for years and I'm still pretty confused as to which schools I should apply to for next years cycle. I'm currently attending a university in Hawaii and I will be graduating next semester. I went to a community college for two years and received an AA, then transferred to a university and majored in chemistry; health sciences.

I know that SDN users can be pretty aggressive and touchy so please don't get offended if I post anything stupid🙁. Anyways, I just want to know if my list (of no particular order) of potential dental schools is ridiculous and if any of you have any suggestions to my list to improve my chances at receiving interview invites.

On a related note, my goal is to receive an acceptance from ANY ACCREDITED SCHOOL, so I'm definitely not picky.

Thank you.

Looked at their website and it looks promising since I would have an advantage over OOS applicants not from Kansas,Arkansas, New Mexico, and Hawaii.

Thanks advance!

Maybe add Creighton. I know for undergrad they like students from Hawaii for whatever reason. Just double check the schools and their requirements with CC credits and make sure your classes align with that before applying anywhere.

You could look into UNE (has state preference but since it's newer, they accept plenty of OOS students). Saw you have Tufts but not BU, not sure if you missed it or excluded it on purpose. Nova and LECOM in Florida.
