Hello,
I have a question regarding the application.
I currently have GPA of 3.68 although I have two C's in 400 level science lecture course.
I have a problem with DAT, too.
After the disastrous first DAT score, I retook the DAT,
but it turned out to be another disappointment.
The score is:
AA 18
Biology 20
Gen chem 22
Orgo chem 16 (:()
PA 22
Reading comprehension 16 (:()
quantitative reasoning 18
Do you think I need to retake the DAT??
I really want to know if the committee won't look at my application
at all if I indicate the future DAT date on the application.
Because I don't know weather I should take a chace to not indicate
the future DAT date so that I can be evaluated for interview with
current DAT score, or I should indicate the future DAT date.
If I decided to do so, I will take the third DAT on early October.
Do you think this is going to hurt me to get an interview??
And please estimate if I have a good shot at those schools that I am thinking applying:
Indiana University (I am Indiana resident)
Case school of dental medicine
University of Louisville
Arizona school of dentistry and oral health
Boston University
New York University
Tufts University
Virginia commonwealth University
Any kind of advice would be appreciated! Please help!!!
(But don't be so harsh cuz I am already pretty much in bad shape :mad:)
