SUNY Buffalo Info Needed!

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I'm starting at Buffalo this fall. First off, as long as your AADSAS application has a New York state address, then you'll be considered a resident for admissions purposes. If you get in, in order to pay in-state tuition, you'll need to have been a resident (or supported by your parents) as of 8/1/2005 for 8/2006 matriculation.

I'd normally give you my stats, but mine are not good ones on which to base your competitiveness, since I am an older applicant who did a post-bacc. But from what I've heard from this years incoming class, a 19 AA and 18 PAT along with an on-time application and your GPA should give you a reasonable shot. Like every other d-school this year, application numbers and stats are up from previous years, so get your app in as early as possible.

Good luck

from your stats i'd say you have a super good shot. honestly, i've heard only great things about buffalo as a dental school. I am from Rochester and my biggest deal is just living near Rochester (and in Buffalo) for 4 years, but if you have no problem with it. Everyone I've talked to who are dentists say Buffalo is a steal, and one of the best. Good luck!

What kind of numbers do you need for SUNY Buffalo. I am originally from Buffalo and plan for this to be my #1. I havent been there in 7 years and spent the last year out of NY so I hope I dont lose residency. Anyways any advice of what kind of students they take would be appreciated. I have a 3.68 BCP and 3.5 overall. Finished my pre reqs from NC State and UNC Chapel Hill. Im hesitant to shoot for UNC when I have Buffalo to my advantage. I still have a home there and good ties. Just dont know any dental students. My situation is unique that I will probably be able to pick NC or NY as my state of residency. I am up in the air with both.

i'm going to buffalo in like 3 weeks for school and from the interview process i thought they were pretty insightful about my application. for example, i had a ****load of research, which a lot of schools didn't care about, but at buffalo they asked me about it. i think they'll really like that you're from buffalo and its your number one school. i'm from sunny so cal so i felt that they were really worried i wouldn't want to go to buffalo. i for one had a 21 AA/18 PAT, which i feel is high for buffalo (minus the crappy PAT). basically, don't sweat it

Buffalo is a steal and one of the best clinical schools with great facilities. My worry is that I am out of state but I hope they see that I am from Buffalo and still have major ties there.
