hi everyone I've been a member for sometime now but have been reluctant to post anything on this site for sometime
Reason being, dentistry has become so competitive and the grades posted on this site are somewhat daunting and make my scores look average.
Well i took the DAT 9 months back and applied in mid September and haven't gotten one interview.
Its safe to assume i wont be getting in for this cycle.
During the course of this year i have done over 250 hours of volunteering at the nyu clinic As well as working full time as a dental assistant at another practice.
my dat scores consisted of
AA - 19
TS - 21
OC - 22
GC - 21
BIO - 20
RC - 17****
PAT - 19
QR- 18
GPA- 3.49
SGPA- 3.39
here's my dilemma obviously the grades posted on this site are not representative of the avg scores to get into dental school but i wanted to have you dental hopefuls weigh in.
I know i should have taken some sort of courses during this year....... but we all make mistakes.
currently i plan on applying june 4th, with these grades.( reason being the small applicant pool.)
I also plan on doing a masters program at UMDNJ this upcoming year. obviously i plan on taking competitive courses and im aiming for a high gpa.
Basically i was wondering what you thought my chances were of getting into school with these grades and sending my scores from the masters mid cycle probably mid Janurary????
open to all responses and suggestions
