Hi there,
I had a few questions and was wondering if you guys could help me!
First, how accurate is OSU's comparisons on this site? http://www.dent.osu.edu/admissions/compare.php
They list the averages of entering classes but I'm not sure if I should use that to judge my chances.
Second, From the list I will provide below, which of the schools look at GPA including +-, and which ones look at it without?
My GPA including +- is
BCP 3.39
Science GPA 3.47
Non-science 3.97
Overall 3.61
My GPA without +- is BCP 3.33
Science GPA 3.38
Non-science 3.78
Overall 3.50
Please note that I am a Canadian applicant, I have 100 hours shadowing, 1400+ hours of Extra Curricular/volunteer/community work, 2000 hours work experience, and 120 hours research experience. I am entering my fourth year of undergrad and plan to graduate in April 2012 before matriculation.
My Canada DAT scores are:
RC 20
BIO 19
CHEM 24
TS 21
AA 21
PAT 21
CARVING 22
My list of schools are:
Loma Linda University
University of the Pacific
Nova Southeastern
University of Kentucky
Tufts
Boston University
University of Michigan
University of North Carolina
NYU
Columbia
Ohio State University
Case
University of Pennsylvania
Temple
Marquette
Should I add USC to the list? I really want to make it in this year after already investing so much money. USC is crazy expensive though...
This whole time, I honestly thought that the average included +-, but I've heard other things and now I'm scared that my stats are too low. Any advice would help. Thanks.
