About Path32
Helping you choose the right path in dentistry
Choosing a dental school is one of the most important decisions you'll make. Conflicting advice, outdated forums and hard-to-find data make it harder than it should be. That's why Path32 exists.
Meet the founder
Dr. Charley Levy
Practicing general dentist in New York City
I started Path32 because I believe future dentists deserve access to transparent, reliable data, without the noise.
Over the years, I've met countless students who felt overwhelmed by the admissions process. I built this site to give them what I wish I had: one simple, central place to look, made by someone who has walked the same path.
I'm a dentist, and I'm also a math and data nerd. I was formerly a data consultant with the American Dental Association, and I studied Data Science at Columbia University. I love turning a messy spreadsheet into a chart that makes a decision clearer, and every number, graph and calculator here comes from that.

The name
Why "Path32"?
The name comes from the 32 teeth in a full adult smile, a nod to the complete journey from student to professional.
Whether you're just starting to explore dental school or you're already enrolled, Path32 is here to help you see your next step clearly.
Hover over or tap a tooth. You won't find a more dentist feature on this site.
To empower the next generation of dentists with transparent, expert-driven data that helps them choose the school and career path that's right for them.

Built for students and families
Path32 puts their needs first, not marketing language from schools.
Free for students
