So certainly should reasonable assume dentistry is no different. More probable that these top students preferred to be
medical Phd’s. Word of caution-- from the op you give the impression that you are "settling " or you should be at a LAC etc, so first, if you visited those New England LAC you would agree that the TCNJ is in the same style if not nicer than some. Secondly, if you think you’re going to easily perform in the way necessary to get that ivy med school spot you are in for an awakening. TCNJ is extremely competitive and top grades are hard to come by. In fact Barron’s ranked it as one of the top 75 most competitive schools academically in America. I would go so far as to say your stats are good but far from being overly impressive. There are many talented students attending TCNJ for all sorts of reasons , especially money. Its not that unique of a reason and most do not have a full scholarship. In fact my childs gpa was higher with a 32 act and no great aid so I don’t know what that is about. Needless to say there are many many focused , determined students and this will not be a cake walk. If a TCNJ is good enough for Yale and Harvard
med, its probably good enough for dental school.
