This was my second cycle applying and I applied to 9 schools total (4 of which were instate), interviewed at 2, got waitlisted at 1. I know it is still a bit early to decide, but I want to plan ahead if need be for another gap year. My undergrad GPA was a 3.6 overall and 3.4 science. I took the DAT for the 3rd time in July 2021 and applied to all my schools by the end of July.
DAT 1st: AA-17 PAT-18 QR-17 RC-20 BIO-19 GC-14 OC-16 TS-17
DAT 2nd AA-18 PAT-18 QR-15 RC-21 BIO-18 GC-18 OC-18 TS-18
DAT 3rd AA-19 PAT-18 QR-19 RC-23 BIO-20 GC-19 OC-16 TS-18
This past year after applying I have been working in a dental office as a sterilization tech/training for RDA. For my next step I don't know if I should:
A. Retake the DAT for the 4th time and improve my score significantly, but I am not sure it would be seen as a negative thing to be taking it a 4th time
B. Go for a masters in biomedical sciences so I can still be involved academically and to show that I can take rigorous classes
C. Work for another year in a dental office or with my BS in Biology degree
Any advice will be appreciated, I want to be able to work on whatever I can to reach my career goal!
