Reading your comment brings up a few points:

Dental school is a new game; your undergrad numbers dont mean anything when d-school starts. A friend of mine had ok numbers ( 3.3 gpa, 22 dat and he rocked every single class). I hope you dont lose your confidence when people with "low" numbers kick your ***** in dental school that you go.
By the way, dat is a standardized test which means two individuals with dat 21 are pretty much in the same academic level; you could study some dumb major and get 4.0, so what.
The fact that Columbia, unlike any other dental school, reviews applications with "low" numbers shows that the faculty here dont judge applicants by just their gpa and try to find devoted applicants who really love dentistry. Lastly,

Assuming numbers matter, Your numbers are not good enough to brag.

Seriously... 😕

I love the utter ridiculous of the SDN boards. It is just PACKED with people who are waiting in the grass to jump on anyone expressing an opinion that goes even slightly against the grain.

YES school administrators are watching you, but dang you dont have to be completely politically correct all the time. When you come to dental school, you'll find that many of your professors will joke around with you, express crazy opinions and just not care. You need to transition to real life. But beyond that, I totally wish everybody good luck getting into dental school because it is absolutely one of the best professions available to anybody anywhere.
