[Mr.Smile12]

OP, is there a reason why you haven't participated in dental school tours or recruitment events? I wouldn't think you have red flags, but I'm curious.

 

[ar.predent]

I was not really aware or knew of anything until way down the process. Everything is new to me because I have no doctors in my family, so I am kinda learning as I go. I feel I learned about these programs and events after they would happen.

Then how did you come up with this school list?

You shadowed and worked for dentists. You are a member of a predental club. You have a committee letter and have awards for leadership. I don't understand why you claim you didn't know about the application process or what dental schools are looking for. Are you confident everyone is confident of your chances?
