PLEASE HELP ME ADD MORE SCHOOLS TO MY LIST (WANT 12-15)
UMKC

UPenn, Columbia, Harvard
Creighton
Schools near new york?

TBH i really dont know where to apply or where to start in doing school list research. I feel like these schools above are still a crap shoot even with my stats and I want schools that have more of a heavy clinic focus. I also dont really know what schools are on the cheaper end besides UMKC.

tuition wise its more of a bigger deal for me, but if i wanted to go to a very expensive school i was going to apply to HPSP.

Great job. I think you can call your shot. Look for schools that take Hawaiian applicants, but your metrics will get your noticed at any school you want. If you get HPSP. you will be golden.

Any other campus involvement than dental club?

Suggestion: add more hours to food bank before applying if you can. Articulate your purpose and expectations clearly. Network with schools and make them recruit you.

Do you want Roseman? UNLV? Arizona schools? LECOM?

"Any other campus involvement than dental club?"
unfortunately no. i was a bot in college and really only took my time to study. however over college I was employed as a 'data analyst' intern for a real estate company and trained and led a couple of fellow interns as well.

"Network with schools and make them recruit you."

how exactly do i do this? im one year out from college and theres no more predental networking events i can join anymore. I tried to join my local university predental club but they said they only take active students haha.

"Do you want Roseman? UNLV? Arizona schools? LECOM?"

I will do my research about these schools more, . any recommendations in AZ? i was looking at LECOM and overheard that they make you carve soap during the interview. is that true? regardless, florida would be a fine location to go to. Have any schools near NY? I am motivated to apply to maybe one or two in that area.
