I'm a Junior and I have a sGPA of 3.42 and cGPA of 3.49
I'll be taking the DAT soon. I've done some extensive research lab work, volunteered at a hospital, tutored kids etc. (I should start shadowing dentists though huh).

how do I look?😴

GPA looks ok... I would try to boost it a bit more and then do really well on the DAT. You should be ok if the rest of your application looks good as well. Good luck!

You definitely want to be above the average GPA (which is different for each school and can probably be looked up easily online). The average DAT score for texas schools is about 20.

If that's your AADSAS GPA for sure, you're in okay shape. Get a good DAT score.

If you're in Texas, you need a 20+ and some luck lol

By getting A's in all of your classes.

Straight A's= NO TV/parties

I wouldn't say that's quite true, especially in undergrad. As long as you know how to prioritize your time, you'll be fine. No need to cut out weekend parties and TV out of your life.

weekend parties/TV kinda screwed me over this semester. *Le tehe!

Prioritize better. Obviously you're not going to party or have a Breaking Bad marathon the week before a test. But after the test, do whatever you want.

Just work hard and put school before the parties. No need to go turtle and hide in the library, you look to be in decent shape. Definitely need to get some shadowing in.
