I have 3.18 oGPA and a 3.08 sGPA. I graduated from UIC (University of Illinois at Chicago) with a BS in Biological Sciences. My grades have shown a strong uptrend in the past 4 semesters with each semester over a 3.7 in heavy science classes. I've taken almost all of the biology classes offered at my university with mostly As and a few Bs in them. Ive taken up to Biochemistry I a graduate level course. I have strong ECs such as 3 foreign internships one in Hungary and two in Jordan with a OMFS (Oral and Maxillofacial surgeon). I have over 500 hours+ at various clinics 100 or so with a cardiologist and 400+ at a few dental clinics. I have 8 months worth of Molecular biology research at my university with a paper. 5 strong letters of recommendations from doctors I've worked with and professors. My overall DAT score is a 22. Also i will be starting a masters program or post bac program this fall during my year off but my grades won't be included in the application as it would be submitted before I even start What are my chances of getting accepted? what schools offer the best chance of acceptance?

^ that is really not cool. Applying to dental school is scary when you don't have a 4.0 and 25AA so we all seek out some advice on our chances just to ease our minds. Address his/her concern or move on!

??? OP's concern:
Scumbag's thread addresses both of these questions in SIGNIFICANT detail.
Here, let me show you: http://forums.studentdoctor.net/thr...7-application-cycle-and-the-universe.1197114/

Actually it is cool. A LOT of effort was put into Steve's post to address the issues and concerns of many applicants like OP.
What's NOT cool is the fact that the information is out there and instead of seeing it for themselves and doing the research, they STILL expect personalized WAMC feedback.
Steve made that post as a guide. He didn't have to do it. He created an excellent resource.
Time for us all to put on our big boy/girl pants on and do our own research.
PS: 3 minutes after OP posted this thread, he hijacked another:

Don't mention it. Your guide means a lot to ALOT of people.
If you think of the sheer number of people who look for resources for getting accepted to dental school, your guide is incredible comprehensive. Think of the THOUSANDS of people who will read it.
It really should be stickied.
