I am submitting my application and am picking the dental schools for my application now. I am having a difficult time deciding if some schools are worth applying to because of things like low OOS Acceptance Rates. I also want to go to a school that I can pay off tuition as fast as possible, so something cheaper. Here are the schools I currently have in mind:
New York Dental Schools
Columbia University College of Dental Medicine (a stretch, might not apply)
NYU College of Dentistry (too expensive)
Stony Brook University School of Dental Medicine
Touro College of Dental Medicine at New York Medical College
University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine
OOS Dental Schools
Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine School of Dental Medicine (Florida)
Boston University Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine (Massachusetts)
Tufts University School of Dental Medicine (Massachusetts)
University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine (Pennsylvania)
West Virginia University School of Dentistry (West Virginia)
University of Nevada, Las Vegas, School of Dental Medicine (Nevada)
Temple University (Pennsylvania)
UCLA (California)
UCSF (California)
Southern Illinois University School of Dental Medicine (Illinois)
Indiana University School of Dentistry (Indiana)
University of New England College of Dental Medicine (Maine)
University of Maryland School of Dentistry (Maryland)
Harvard School of Dental Medicine (another stretch, might not apply)
University of Detroit Mercy School of Dentistry (Michigan)
University of Michigan School of Dentistry (Michigan)
University of Minnesota School of Dentistry (Minnesota)
Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, School of Dental Medicine (New Jersey)
East Carolina University School of Dental Medicine (North Carolina)
Marquette University School of Dentistry (Wisconsin)
Out of these dental schools, are there any that are not worth applying to? (because of low OOS acceptance rate or any other reason)
Are there any other schools that I don't have listed that I should apply to?
Quick EDIT --> Just did the math, these colleges would cost about $3,000 in just application fees... Which of these are worth removing?
EDIT 2 --> Crossed out some colleges you guys mentioned.
