Chances of getting in to Arizona school of health science

[Quick Slvr]

Hi guys, I just wanted to know what are my chances of getting in to arizona or UCSF? I am currently filling out my secondary application. i am a out of state student for arizona and instate for california. My overall GPA is 3.27 and science is 3.37 (senior GPA 3.8 all science classses) With over 200 hundred hours of shadow expierence. My DAT scores are ok but i i could have done alot better 18(AA) 20 TS 19 PAT. Does anybody know if there are still some spots left for out of state student or should i just not apply and save my money. Do I have any chance at UCSF applying this late??? thanks!

UCSF....probably none unless u r extremely lucky. Arizona may be.
Gavin can answer that, He is student at AZ. Everybody is applying
at AZ and that bound to take GPA and DAT high.

Also u can go to two threads. Accepted students and 2004 stats.
Then u can find what are the stats of selected candidates. To that
stat, u can add and subtract a little to get average stat reuirements. all the best friend.

In state/out of state doesn't matter for AZ because it is a private school, so you are in luck there.🙂

I don't know how many more students AZ is interviewing, but if they are letting you do the secondary still then obviously they are planning on interviewing some more.

Your DAT scores are fine for Arizona, your experience sounds good, and your GPA of 3.3-3.4 puts you right in line with the stats of last year's matriculants (and most other schools around the nation).

I will forewarn you that Arizona is tougher than it appears. Gaining admissions isn't as easy as it may seem to be, as can be testified to by many of my friends around SDN who have excellent stats but also received denial letters from ASDOH.

PM me if you have any other questions, or post here for all to see.

I'm happy to help however I may.

Ah once again a "representative" of the arizona school.

I would take this guys words with a grain of salt. If any of the adcom could have read his comments about how he wouldnt treat certain types of patients mr gavin wouldnt even had been admitted ( that benevolent all encompassing LDS social conscience at work: of course gavin will find out quick how
much business he does with this attitude ).

Your gpa shows an upward trend wich is paramount. Schools look at lots of things although in mr utahs "I'm the admissions rep on this board for the AZ school" case they made a mistake.

Let me guess Gavin: your a short little nerd with a napoleonic complex ala your favorite politician ORIN HATCH.

Just remember one thing about Dental/Medical school admissions: some fall thru the cracks like Gavin.

Obviously you have some issues to deal with. Maybe this is some type of therapy recommended to you by your psychiatrist. What do you have against Gavin anyways? And what's up with the reference to his religion? Pretty lame and pathetic if you ask me. The religion bashing thing is pretty played out. Try coming up with something a little more original.

Guess your screen name says it all bud.

Perhaps the LDS stuff was a little out of line. I personally know many many LDS dentists and doctors who have a social consience.

Hope your happy in your pursuit of the cash.

Get a life.

What's with the mean post?

I'm certainly not alone in my feelings about treating lazy individuals who believe healthcare practitioners are an easy fix for their problems. Rather than fix the problem, lazy Americans try to fix the cosmetics behind it. I don't mind treating anybody, but when the same individual is in my office multiple times each year for the SAME problem, and when they've ignored my professional opinion, and when they are NONcompliant--then yeah, I begin to wonder what role is I'm playing in their life. Seems like I'm the fixer of their problems, which is NOT what a healthcare provider is. Ultimately we facilitate and empower people to assist themselves.

My choice in which people to treat will NOT be based on religion, sex, politics, race, age, or sexual orientation, however.

I'm still confused with your Mormon bashing. The OP's question had nothing to do with that, and neither did my post.

My post was nothing but straight-up and honest. And for what it's worth I dislike Orin Hatch.

Johndental, we'll see you again in about 20 days when you decide to rip on somebody else (a quick search of your posts manifests this).

Happy Holidays to all!

A grain of salt? Of course, hence the point of an anonymous internet forum.

I do find it interesting, however, that you completely shield yourself with anonymity. If you're going to make harsh comments you shouldn't be hiding.

Although, I have no doubt that your days at high-school are strenuous on you, so I'll forgive you this once.

Huh? Where in the world did this come from Mr. John? Completely unrelated to any previous post! Sorry Gavin that you seem to get all the loonies to post stuff about you. What is the deal? I mean, now they are starting to not even make any sense!!!!!

predentchick,

Sometimes I'm asking for it (with 3700+ posts it is expected), but this one came completely out of left field.
