Hi everyone,
I have been going crazy trying to whittle down my list of dental schools to apply to primarily for financial reasons (these suckers are expensive!). I would REALLY APPRECIATE any advice on which schools I should nix based on my stats. I've already gone through and completely taken out any non canadian friendly schools
. I'm just finishing up my personal statement, but am aiming for July to submit my apps.
Here are my academic stats:
Canadian student and Asian - Honours Bachelor of Science (Specialist in Psychology, Minor in Physiology)
BCP: 3.30 SGPA: 3.10 Nonscience GPA: 3.67 CGPA: 3.40
Canadian DAT--> AA/TS: 20 Bio: 21 Chem: 19 Reading: 19 PAT: 18
Halfway during my undergraduate program, AADSAS declared that Psychology would no longer be a science designation regardless of the degree your university gave you. Obviously, this change screwed me over a little. In terms of my grades, first year was a royal bomb, but I had a huge upward trend going from 2. something in first year to no less than 3.6 in each of my subsequent years.
Extracurriculars/Work:
- Summer volunteering abroad in dental clinics
- Over 2000 hours at a pedo dental office
- 200 hours at various general practices in my area
- Recognized in a few published papers
- Over 3000 hours as a research assistant in a child development lab and cognitive neuroscience lab
- Office manager of health and wellness clinic and pedo dental office
Schools:
Midwestern- Arizona, Loma Linda, U of Pacific, Colorado, Conneticut, Howard, U of Florida, Nova, Midwestern- Illinois, U of Illinois, Tufts, Boston, Maryland, Michigan, Detroit Mercy, Minnesota, Creighton, Nebraska, UMDNJ, Columbia, Buffalo, NYU, Case Western, Ohio State, Oregon, Pittsburgh, Temple, U Penn, Meharry, Baylor, U of Texas San Antonio, U of Texas Houston, Utah, Roseman, Marquette
Thank you!
