Guest Aplusdent Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 I just wanted to see how many dent schools people have applied to or will apply to. Since my first two years were incredibly low, I'm applying to 20 schools (both in Canada and the U.S.). I know on average students apply to about 7 schools. Out of the 4 or so students I know that applied to 5-7 schools, they all had one interview. I'm hoping on increasing my odds. Plus I'll be applying as early as possible for the U.S. schools. So the question is: How many schools for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest johnwoo19 Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 two for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Qwigley Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 When I applied (two years ago), I only applied to 2 schools. I'd advise applying to more, especially since you can transfer your interview scores and won't have to interview everywhere you're intived for interviews. However, if you know exactly where you want to go (and have a good chance of getting in), then maybe you shouldn't waste your money applying to lots of schools.

Guest tamkhan1 Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 i only applied to one, uwo. but, thats only cuz i didnt really think my grades were that stellar! yes, def. apply to as many schools as possible. even if youre sure about where you wanna end up, still apply to several places. avgs keep on changing from one year to the next, and more apps simply means, youre on the safe side. but the keyword is, APPLY! no matter what! you think ure grades are not competitve, dont listen to ureself:p APPLY! i didnt wanna apply to uwo cuz i thought my grades werent good enough. sent in my application on the last day (and, thats the LAST day..lol). but now, im thankful, that i applied. so, dont underestimate ure self. have absolute faith in ure own capabilities, and ull be amazed at how far you can go in life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Kooman Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 Applied to two, UT and UWO. Received interview for both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Aplusdent Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 Well I'm doing 5 years for my undergrad...to make up for the low years at UofT. Right now my gpa, dental experience, volunteering, and extracurriculars are stelar...and i know that the admissions committees look for improvement (i'm basically a different person now, a lot more mature and focused). But I still have those two years on my record, so obviously I will have to apply to more schools than the average applicant. I'm not really sure where I want to go either, although it would be more convenient to get into an Ontario school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
