WAMC 23-24, international student

[Muriel]

Hi everyone! I am an international applicant planning to apply this cycle. I am aware that dental schools are usually tougher on international students so I plan to apply to around 15-18 schools. Suggestions on schools that I should apply to? Here are my stats for reference:

DAT (AA 25, TS 23, PAT 24)
GPA (cGPA 3.89, sGPA 3.85)
150+ shadowing hours
300+ volunteering hours
800+ research hours
red flag: got a C in cell biology

Several leaderships & activities (pre-health club VP, biology honor society VP, peer mentor, biology lab & biochem TA, orchestra)

Any suggestions and insights are greatly appreciated!!

Minnesota, Touro, NYU, Buffalo, Case Western, Penn, Columbia, Tufts, Boston, Temple, Creighton, Nova, are some that come to mind for international friendly. If you check CO 2028 threads for schools they’re stats for each school on how many international students are interviewed and accepted. You can start there. Generally east coast and west coast will probably be your best bet. Southern schools are not very international friendly. Midwest can be, however.

Also check the DSE for schools where you want to attend. Each school should list some countries represented by matriculated international students in a recent incoming class.
