Employment: N/A
Research: N/A (I was part of a 3 semester program for research, but only did first two semesters, which probably doesn't count)
Other Extracurriculars: Only in a few clubs, but very involved in them. Only had a leadership position first year.
Have you volunteered/shadowed/attended events at any dental schools? Met with Boston University admissions person.
Relevant Honors or Awards: Dean's list first year before transferring. Idt there is a dean's list at my new school.
LOR type and strength:
1 General Dentist (VERY GOOD)
2 STEM (One is very good, the other is avg)
1 non-STEM professor (VERY GOOD)
Misc Info/Things not stated elsewhere/Red Flags:
I have lower hrs of volunteering and lower GPA than what I would like due to being put into some uncomfortable/dangerous situations! I got a restraining order against my roommate, who I thought was a good friend, and spent months getting therapy, yipee!
For that reason, I'm also concerned about having lower volunteering hrs and less club involvement. I wanted to try to gain some new leadership positions at some of the clubs I go to, but I felt unsafe and stopped going to any student club for an entire semester. I'm not going to lie, it's still difficult trusting people, and I probably still need more help. It's hard man.
School list:
Columbia
UPenn
UConn
Rutgers
Stony
Howard
NYU
Touro
Tufts
BU
UNE
Temple
Pittsburgh
Are there any other schools I should consider? I would prefer to stay near the northeast, but I'm open to suggestions.

TS is 23. As for why I'm thinking of applying to howard, I'm not too sure yet. I added it initially because it's in the northeast, but I'm guessing by your reaction it's not a good idea.what is your TS?

Oh... I should've done more research on the schools, I'm sorry.howard is an HBCU...
I'm not sure if this is the answer you're looking for, but I guess one that emphasizes serving a diverse community/a more community-centered program?what is your mission fit for the schools you applied to?
