i don't like your chances at these three schools...

You have great stats. But I don't think they are anywhere close to getting accepted at Cornell School of Dental Medicine (CSDM), Emory College of Dental Medicine (ECDM), and Johns Hopkins Dental School (JHDS). In Fall 2020, the average GPA and DAT scores of accepted students were 4.33/4.00 and 32 AA. Yep. I wouldn't bother.

Are you trying to start Fall 2022? Or Fall 2023?

I didnt realize colleges had GPA scales above 4.0? That's my bad! I was just looking at rankings and not matriculate GPAs, I thought maybe they would be more lenient than some others on the list as they were lower in ranking. Are other schools on my list reasonable? Or should I be switching some other ones around too?

Haha, mine was not a serious reply. Cornell, Emory, JHU, and Baylor do not have a dental school. About the other schools on the list, experts with more experience can give you better answers.

you should not be choosing schools based on "rankings", especially when those rankings include schools that don't exist...
