My GPA is very average or even below average which is ~3.3. I just finished taking 4 science courses which I have received all A's in. My question is, would this academic update help me hear back from schools I have heard nothing from and potentially land me a post December interview? My sGPA will be about 3.45 after the update and my DAT score is a 23aa/24ts. My application was finalized late august, so that may have a factor. I've been accepted to 1 school that I am very thankful for, but my dream schools hasn't responded at all. Any input would be appreciated!
 
Yeah, the academic update should definitely help my friend! As for dental school entry, you may just want to take what you get because it is a competitive process, but that's up to you, not me. Also, keep in mind the update period takes 2 weeks for AADSAS to actually finalize the grades. Then it may take some time for the school to actually receive those grades. So you may just want to claim the seat that you were offered, and if your dream school does respond just drop that seat and get the seat to your dream school. Hope that helps you out!
