I am in need of some advice. I recently took the DAT and got a 24AA/25TS/21PAT.
I have two semesters before I apply for the next cycle. Should I be worried about getting in because of my gpa being borderline? any advice...
 
you should have no problem buddy, it's a little to late gather up application materials, but I think your stats are good enough.

You will be fine. Your gpa is not horrible and not a deal breaker. Of course since you have a year try and improve your gpa as much as you can but you have a great DAT score so it not a big deal. My advice is to make sure you're well rounded by volunteering, shadowing, doing research and or get leadership positions in the year you have.
 
With that DAT, I could see you getting looks with a much lower GPA. My GPA is only slightly higher than yours, but with a significantly lower DAT score - and I already have 1 interview. IMO, you will be fine.
 
I have a 3.1 GPA and 3 interview invites....you will be fine! BUT then again, it really depends on WHO YOU ARE as a person. Stats make up a percentage, not the entire picture. GOOD LUCK!
