Hello everyone! I will be applying to dental schools this upcoming cycle, and I need an advice on my list of schools. Any opinions and thoughts are much appreciated!
A little bit about myself:
- Graduated from an average UC school with a degree in English literature and a criminology minor in 2014
- Have been working as a dental assistant ever since, while taking science classes at a cc
- Some of my prerequisites have been completed at a community college (anatomy, physiology, microbiology, 2nd semester ochem, bio lab portions)
- Residency: CA
Stats:
- oGPA: 3.69
- sGPA: ?? (I'm guessing it's between 3.3-3.5... how do you calculate your sGPA?)
- DAT: AA 21, PAT 22, TS 23 (Bio 23, GC 21, OC 25, QR 19, Reading 18 )
- community service: 275+ hours at a hospital
- shadowing: 200 hours
- dental assistant/front desk work for 1.5 years
List of Schools
Western
UCSF
USC
UOP
UCLA
LLU
Midwestern-Illinois
Roseman (USN)
Nova Southeastern University (NSU)
NYU
University of Michigan
Temple University
University of Pittsburg
Columbia
University of Louisville School of Dentistry
Touro College of Dental Medicine, Valhalla
UPenn
Are some of the schools too far fetched for me that it's not even worth applying? (*cough* UOP, UCLA, UCSF, UPenn, Columbia?) Any thoughts on schools to remove (or to add)? Thank you in advance for all your help!
