Hey-I was wondering if anyone could help me with a few questions...
I have bounced around from school to school and now I am currently attending a four year University and am Majoring in Biology. I have taken the following classes and received the following grades on a quarter based schedule....
Gen Bio----------------B
Ecology * Conservtion--A
Zoology----------------A
Botany-----------------A
Human Physiology-------A
Genetics----------------A
molecular Genetics------A
Microbiology------------A
Medical Microbiology----A
Immunology------------A
Evolution---------------A
Emerging World Diseases-B
Ecology *Evolution-------C(B/C I received a C I retook Ecology and Evolution as separate classes)
Gen Chem 1------A
Gen chem 2------A
Organic Chem 1 --B
Organic Chem 2---B
Biochemistry------A
Physics 1---------B
Physics 2---------B

Oerall Science GPA---3.6 (Based on these grades I calculated a 3.6..
My Overall GPA 3.77

Do I have a competitive chance of getting to a dental school being public or private?? What type of DAT score would I have to pump out with my current grades???
Could I get into a school with a 16 or 17 and a 3.42. What would be the lowest DAT score I could get and still get into a dental school???
I haven't taken the DAT yet ,but what do my chances look like with the current information?
Thanks so much----

if you have 13 A's, 6 B's, and 1 C... i hardly believe you have a 3.4 SGPA.

I don't get why you ask about a 3.42 when you said above that your overall and science are 3.77 and 3.6? But anyways, those are excellent GPA's and you'll have a great shot getting into public or private! I would aim a little higher for the DAT though, you'd probably be okay with 18's, but I would shoot for 19 or higher and you should be good to go
