I find the whole process of dental school applications interesting in hindsight, to say the least.
For example, I'm very fortunate that I was accepeted to UOP. I heard from them on Dec 1, but then I see people on this forum that have been accepted to UCLA and UCSF, but they haven't even interviewed at UOP. I personally haven't heard from UCLA, and I had an interview at UCSF, but haven't heard back from them yet. Looking at stats, one would think that if you get accepted to UCLA or UCSF, you should get into all the Cali schools . It's interesting how it all works out. I think each school must have certain things that they look for, and I guess stats aren't everything.
