Hey,

So here is my deal. I'm a third time applicant and will be applying this cycle for fall 2015

I finished my Undergrad with a 3.53 oGPA

Currently doing my Masters and should have a 3.81 oGPA and sGPA ( my classes are all science) when I apply.

So that should make my Total(undergrad+grad) GPA at a 3.55 oGPA

Plan to take my DAT in July.

What do you think of my Stats?

I have over 300hrs of Dental Shadowing and around 100 hrs of Dental Assistant work

Do you guys think I have a shot?

Your numbers (+ masters) are good....

Why wouldn't you have a shot?

Thanks for the reply.
I have 3 C's in my undergrad, 2 in my last semester. Had a couple of interviews the last time in applied but did not get in. Wanted to get another opinion on my stats 🙂
Do you think 3 C's will effect me that much?

Not with a reasonable DAT score and masters.

are you sure it was the C's that didn't get you in? what about dat score? interview? your new GPA help. now worry about DAT and interview

Cant Say, my DAT was 20AA and 21PAT last time.
one of the schools said to work on my interview skills so Im going to assume it was my interview that messed me up there lol.

But the c's are worrying me. Will be a total waste if i apply now and they tell me in the end my c's held me back. I am doing research in my masters so hopefully that adds a plus

its your interviewing skillzzz dude. with a 20AA and 3.8 masters you should be gold

lol if one of your schools said it was the interivew then it was probably the interview for all of the schools

Make sure to practice before your next round of interviews. There are plenty of questions on here to get you thinking about some possible topics to discuss.

do work on the DAT, polish interview skills, everything else seems gravy
