[Mr.Smile12]

If you self-identify as a historically underserved race or ethnicity (HURE) member, have you connected with dental student affinity groups such as ASDA or SNDA? Have you attended enrichment or pipeline programs focused on dentistry, the health professions, or science careers?

If you identify with a HURE, add the HBCU dental schools.

UNC and UMich averages are not similar to your stats
i second the recommendation for howard and meharry if you are URM
dental schools are more likely to give interviews and acceptances to applicants from their region that show mission fit...
