[Mr.Smile12]

You have the usual suspects on your list (which I'm okay with aside from the pricy schools of USC and NYU, but you have to do what you have to). I would look more towards the midwest depending on what you define as "community" in your mission fit. What advice have you gotten from your prehealth team on schools outside the west coast area? What networking have you done to survey how admissions teams would view your application? Any networking with current dental students?
