Hey,

I am a Canadian applicant interested in applying to US Dental schools. My cGPA is 3.786, sGPA 3.778. Canadian DAT scores: BIO 22, CHEM 21, AA 21, TS 21, RC 19, PAT 19. The schools that I plan on applying to are: Case, Temple, Pittsburgh, Penn, NYU, and Detroit Mercy. A few of my experiences include:
~300-350 hours of dental shadowing with a general dentist (2 different private clinics)
~ 500 hours of volunteering at the hospital
~300 hours volunteering at a nursery home
~ 100 hours of research

How are my chances as a Canadian? Should I add any other schools or remove any from my list? Should I consider applying to Columbia or Harvard?

Thanks in advance.

You have an excellent chance and I am certain that if you can interview well you will get accepted. You should start looking to see if any banks will give you loans if your parents can cosign. The COA is crazy high for Canadians and that will be your biggest barrier in attending an American school
