I'm in the process of rewriting my PS for this upcoming cycle and I was wondering if I should mention I'm a reapplicant. I've been debating on leaving it out because I'm reaching the character limit and there are other things I want to cover, but at the same time I've been hearing mixed opinions about whether I should include it which has me confused.

2 part question ig: 1. I've been accepted to NYU, and waitlisted for Touro and UCSF. I fear I will commit suicide if I attend NYU from everything I heard, but Touro is a new school, so not sure if that's where I should be either... UCSF would be nice, but odds of getting off the waitlist are slim to none. What are people's thoughts on NYU vs Touro? 2. I haven't heard back from Penn, Columbia, or Stony Brook yet.

In addition, the Marquette program has a guaranteed interview with their dental school granted I do well during the summer classes ..read more
