Chances

[BE-DDS]

Hi everyone. I've been reading this forum for a while, and now that I'm beginning to come close to a state of panic, I would like to ask you how you think my chances are.

I have applied to four schools: Stony Brook, Columbia, UMDNJ, and NYU. AADSAS sent out my application in the middle of July, I took the DAT in the middle of August, and my file has been complete at all the schools since the beginning of September. The reason for the panicing is that I have yet to receive any interviews. Any insight as to why or what I can do would be appreciated.

Here are my stats
GPA: 3.16
Sci GPA: 3.09
Undergrad major: Engineering
DAT: 21/21/21 (my lowest is a 19 on QR)
EC: 120 hours of assisting/shadowing and 3 months as a research assistant in oral oncology (with recs from the dentist with whom I worked and my research advisor who is a maxilliofacial surgeon)

thanks

Well, there's not much you CAN do at this point, but your DATs are solid enough. The interviews will come -- at least from NYU. Might be a little low for Columbia (at least until later in the process) and I dont know about NJ and SB.

add more schools? dont know if that's an option for you. if you're gonna do it, do it soon.

but i am sure nyu will come through, and it sounds like you are an in stater, so stony brook might work as well.

just give it time. gl!
