Members don't see this ad.

I was waitlisted at NYU for the last cycle. So disappointed for a while but told myself to try again harder for this cycle. I realized in order to make myself more competitive for schools, I needed a stronger DAT scores. I submitted AADSAS (pretty late because it took some time to regain my focus on this) around late November. I retook the DAT at late December after intense study for a month.
I received a score of TS:22 / AA:21.

Here's little my background. I messed up at my undergrad gpa little under 3.0, so I chose to go to Barry U for masters. I graduated with 3.9 gpa at M.S.
I got an interview last cycle, however was wailtlisted and finally got rejected at NYU.

One of the admissions committee members encouraged me to take DAT once more for the reapply. I hesitated for a while after being rejected even though I tried so hard at my Masters. But I didn't want to lie down so here I am again for this cycle.

This time I applied: NYU, Tufts, Nova, Temple, Tufts, Creighton, Case, BU, MW

I know I applied very late.. BUT trying is better than doing nothing right?

Please let me know how you think. Any opinions~ 😕
Sharing your stats and status would be appreciated!!!

I would say it's up in the air whether you get in this cycle or not. About 50/50 honestly. Some of the schools you listed do interview pretty late so anything can happen.

But you know, you're definitely all set and ready to rock if you have to apply the next cycle in June. 👍

At this point it's very late so I think the possibility of you not getting in this cycle is pretty high. However, I think you will get in next cycle if you apply early and shore up your app with plenty of ECs. Your DAT is very good and you've obviously learned from your mistakes in the past and have shown a very big commitment to dentistry, so good for you.
