I'm applying to UTHSCSA in San Antonio, Texas. I still haven't taken the DAT or finished all of my prereqs so I've got a lot of work to do in the next 8 months.

It's my clear #1 choice so I'm only going to apply there this time around. If I don't get in, then I'll spend next spring and early next summer concentrating on increasing my DAT score and I'll apply at more schools next year.
 
im applying next month. my choices are nyu or bu, but will probably be applying to like 20 of them :laugh:
 
Hey,

I'll also be applying to UTHSCSA, though Baylor is going to be my first choice. Other out-of-states schools I'll be applying to are Univerisity of the Pacific, Columbia University, University of Maryland, and New York University. Good luck to everyone! 🙂
 
I'm applying everywhere! I'm an Arkansas resident and we don't have a state dental school, but we do have "slots" in surrounding states. Each surrounding state has maybe two slots for AR kids (TN is the exception with 14 slots I think). I counted the total number of slots for AR students (although not guarenteed) and it amounts to around 30 (which really sucks). Even the smallest state schools have around 50 slots at least! I'm also going to apply to a bunch of private schools. I have a favorite in mind for now, but I think that in the end my favorite is going to become which ever school (or schools) wants me! 🙂
 
I'm applying next month as well. I plan on applying to 7 or 8 schools which include the following: University of Illinois, University of Michigan, University of Pennsylvania, Tufts Universtiy, Harvard University, Columbia University, University of Connecticut, and SUNY Buffalo. Good luck to all 🙂

My state school is my first choice (UMKC). The environment is top-notch and their curriculum design is amazing. Other schools include private institutions throughout the Midwest. I decided to also apply to UNLV. I recently researched their program and I am definately interested in their school.

Teddie, I sent you a pm. That is so funny to see you here on SDN. Drop me an email whenever you get a chance. 🙂

Thank you thank you 🙂 I'm very interested in U Penn (especially the Dean's Merit Scholarship if the odds are with me), but maybe Harvard or Michigan. I worked hard and I guess it's paying off now. By the way, Buffalo is an excellent school. I have a friend my year who got accepted through an early admission program and I've only heard excellent things.
 
I'm applying next month! It definately snuck up on me!

Applying to: Temple, Penn, Pittsburgh, UDNJ, Tufts, BU, UMD, Stonybrook, UConn

With Temple being my top choice since I'm from PA and can't afford Penn!

Good luck when you when you apply! 😀

Man, I cant believe you didnt hear anything from NYU or BU, specially with those numbers. Thats crazy. I guess you are living proof that applying late hurts your chances. Good luck next cycle, I have no doubt it will be better the next time around.

UMKC is a great school. I had a choice of several, but I think that it clearly stood out (That why I'm going there 😉 ). Best of luck! 🙂
 
Jaws, congrats on your acceptance to UMKC. It is definately a fine place to learn dentistry. If you do not mind me asking, what were your stats? I have a strong academic background and I have done a lot outside of the classroom, but I want to continue to hear what others have done to get accepted to d-school. Especially UMKC!! I hear that community service is a big factor at KC. I started early and have since completed 300+ hours. From day one, UMKC has been my dream school. Hopefully it will work out for the best!! Good luck with class and enjoy the summer; it is definately a summer well deserved after getting accepted to dental school!!!
 
I'm applying next month! Ahh I can't believe May is almost here! Although I should worry about my app and essay AND DAT, first I have to worry about my genetics and organic chemistry exam that are tomorrow!

I will be applying to Tufts, BU, NYU, Columbia, and UPENN.

I want to go to Tufts though!! 🙂
 
I'm applying next month too :scared:(this is starting to sound introductions at a ten step program or something)... 😀

I'm applying to: IU, BU, NYU, UOP, Buffalo, Louisville, Creighton, UDM, and maybe Marquette or UNLV or both. My top choices are the ones that accept me. 😉

Good luck everyone 👍
 
University of Florida, University of Maryland, Columbia University, NYU, UCONN, New Jersey (forgot the name of the university heh), Harvard University, University of the Pacific depending on DAT scores. God please let me get into one of those schools.

I can't believe it's next month already when we apply. But I'm gonna send mine to UMich, UD-Mercy, Iowa, Columbia, UCONN, Louisville, NOVA, and maybe UNC or Penn, I cant make up my mind about those two.

What are your stats?
 
What's up everybody, I was hoping for some feedback.

I'm applying to: Tufts, BU, UCONN, Temple, UPenn, UMaryland, UMichigan, Columbia, UoP, UCSF, Case Western.

Major: Bioengineering
cum GPA is 3.51
sci GPA is 3.53
Pretty standard extracurriculars and 50+ hours shadowing

I'm taking the DAT mid-June after 6 solid weeks of studying/practice tests with Kaplan and Barrons books.

I'm applying as early as humanly possible, with my top choice being Tufts (I'm from Boston, and want to be there for d-school).

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
 
My stats are a 3.9 GPA, probably a 3.8 or mid 3.8 after this semester, good shadowing experience, licensed skydiver (I'm sure this won't hurt)....just haven't taken the DAT yet, but am scheduled for May 13th. You?
Oh yeah, I'm a biochemistry major...
Oh yeah Number 2: Just added Arizona School of Dentistry and Oral Health and Boston University to the list... 😉
 
I'll be applying to VCU and that's it. I am applying a year early, so basically I dont have much of a chance anywhere outside of my home state. I have a 3.82, tons of work experience as a dental assistant, and I'll be taking the DAT in May.
