apply broadly and wisely...Hmm okay. I’ve talked to a lot of schools and they said one 16 is fine as long as the other scores are above. Is this not factual?

alright thank you!do you realize the person who answers the call at the office is probably some undergrad student or near min wage worker who does not even know what is going on?
their main goal is to encourage applications and they can always say no and collect your fee to fund the fancy lunch they feed other interviewees.
You should take the DAT again, that is the only thing holding you back or even if you get in, it is going to be a long shot and it is at the 600k school like USC, NYU that ppl cringe at now.
Thank you! How can those students help in admission? Also is there any way I can send you a private message. Another question I have is if an admission counselor for a dnetal school said I would be fine for that school, can I just take their word for it? Thanks again!Your DAT AA 19 PAT 19 is acceptable but I'd expect late action on your application if things stand. Sure, one score below 17 won't be disqualifying, but there are enough applicants who have 20's across all sections that your DAT scores are not going to help you. Hopefully there's something else in your personal journey and background that might be interesting.
I always tell applicants to connect with ASDA and SNDA chapter officers, and you should make those connections.
Both ASDA and SNDA are active in trying to reach out to predental students, including webinars and applicant resources over the pandemic year. Both usually host open houses at their respective schools.Thank you! How can those students help in admission? Also is there any way I can send you a private message.

Oh ok, even if he’s on the admissions committee?Both ASDA and SNDA are active in trying to reach out to predental students, including webinars and applicant resources over the pandemic year. Both usually host open houses at their respective schools.
Those of us who are admissions counselors but do not have any decision-making role can only give you our impressions based on history. If you remind them or other faculty of another student they admitted who was successful, that can often be a good sign. That said, you can never take any assurance spoken to you as a guarantee because no one can predict how an admissions committee will make a decision (except perhaps the chair of the admissions committee or the designated admissions dean or director).
You would dare not call a faculty member serving on admissions committee as a "counselor".Oh ok, even if he’s on the admissions committee?
so are you saying that the person probably doesn't have much say?You would dare not call a faculty member serving on admissions committee as a "counselor".
A committee can go against the best metrics for the oddest reasons.
He may be compelled to recuse himself depending on how he knows you or saw your pending application.so are you saying that the person probably doesn't have much say?
