Thoughts on this Application cycle? (COVID)

[ReefingDoctor2012]

I'm wondering with everything going on in the world, do you think schools will see a significant decrease in the amount of applicants?

No. On the contrary, more schools are opening, like California Northstate University College of Dental Medicine in Elk Grove, CA.

Oh man, they're really pumping out new Dental schools. There's another one in Texas right?

What is the goal here? Isn't California already saturated with dentists?

Yes, No, Maybe. And thats definitive!

In another thread on this topic someone stated that AMCAS had something like 70,000+ register/sign on the first few days after 2021 application opened. Was that an increase in medical applicants? Was that just because everyone is at home and had much more free time to do? Does it mean thar ao many more people will actually apply?

Ask me in October of 2021 and I will tell you. Until then its all just speculation

California needs another state school, not private school lmao. Biggest state in the US and only have 2 state schools and one doesn't even give in state preference :/

The applicant pool will probably hold steady, which is silly in my opinion. This is not the year to apply to dental school, the profession has too many unanswered questions.

Cal State doesn't have funding/infrastructure for graduate healthcare education.
