Should I apply this cycle with substandard scores just to go threw the cycle and know the ins and outs, or should I wait till next cycle after my informal postbac and DAT retake... I guess what I'm saying is are there any benefits to applying now with a bad application. One thing I thought of was that schools could see my application at it's low point then in a year see it at it's new improved high point to impress them... Or do reaplicants have some sort of disadvantage? I know you guys will be asking for more details but my oGPA is a 3.0 and sGPA is a 2.75ish my DAT is 18AA 19TS 21PA (what killed me is a 16 in RC
), I have about 300 shadowing hours, pretty decent LOR's and a unique life situation.... So I know I'm sub average thus my concern to apply next year with hopefully a 22+ DAT and about 30 credit hours of strait A's plus more shadowing and possibly VP of the dental club at my university and some research etc... Well atleast thats what I'm shooting for, so given those upgrades what do you guys think?
