Hi! I feel like this question has been asked a lot on here so I apologize for asking again. However, I want to know if others have been in the same situation as me!
I have completed (but have not yet submitted) my application for dental school. I am waiting to submit it until I take my DAT in 2 days, as I do not want to waste my money if by chance I do not receive a good enough score. I have a 3.6 GPA, and a 3.4 science GPA. I have great letters of recommendation as well as plenty of volunteer and research experience. I have also worked as a dental assistant for a few years now.
I know that no one can really give me a direct answer as to whether or not my chances are good. I am really just wondering if anyone else has been in the same boat as me (applying early August) and received a good amount of interviews? I know that the application can take roughly 4-6 weeks to be processed, so I am worried since that basically means schools will not receive it until September.
Is it even worth spending the money and trying to get accepted this round?
