Hello SDN,

Just wondering why UNLV wants to know which other dental schools you have applied to? They ask you to list other dental schools you have applied to.. but I applied to 15+ schools and theres not even that many lines Should I list all schools or just fill up the space available? Thanks

Separate the schools by a comma. Example-- University of Southern California, New York University, Boston University, etc

i applied to 13 schools but i didn't have trouble fitting it in the spaces provided. I didn't write out the whole name of the school by the way. For example I just wrote "NYU, TEMPLE, NJDS, UCLA etc." I figured they are familiar with other dental schools and i don't really need to write "kornberg schools of medicine and dentistry temple "... naa mean?

Ok, I'm applying to 21 schools. Wouldn't it look kinda bad to actually list and admit that I'm applying to 21 schools? This might make me look like I lack focus. Should I only list maybe 12 or so? Can dental schools see other schools I'm applying to on AADSAS?

ALSO:

the supplemental says "...please explain any extenuating circumstances or provide the admissions comittee with additional information that may be useful in evaluating your credentials." -- I don't have any hardships or extenuating circumstances to speak of. What do I write here? Would it be bad to leave this blank and not attach anything?

When in doubt be honest. It is so competitive to get into dental school these days that I don't think it is frowned upon that you are applying to a lot of schools. You are being smart. Also about the essay question I think they are looking for you to explain in more detail maybe if you had to miss any quarters/semesters of school or if you received a W or F grade on anything...stuff like that.

P.S. for those who have submitted the UNLV supp app already, has anyone heard back confirming they received it? I submitted in late June but have only received an email saying they received my AADSAS app.

Do you think it would be wise to address a low sci GPA from undergrad? I didn't have any W's or F's but my undergrad GPA is def on the low side but I was able to do a SMP and bring it up.

I applied to 25 schools this past cycle and wrote them all down on the sheet. I was also Accepted to UNLV as well.

What were your stats periopocket? Also what batch were you in and when did you get an interview? Do you hear back from them once they receive your secondary or do you have to call them?
