I want to start by thanking everyone who has been helping by giving their invaluable advise to people who are complete strangers....I have made some awesome friends online than I could never have hoped for. So thank you all and I deeply wish that you all get to where you want to be FAST! GOD BLESS YOU ALL 🙂

Here comes the most dreadful news...I took my second and LAST exam today (Sep 2) and realized two things; First, I CANNOT GO THROUGH THIS AGAIN...(ahum!)anywayz, and second- I did a bit worse than before which disappointing cause I don't know what went wrong.😕.. But now that its behind me... I need your advise. Please let me know if I should I even bother applying now and if so, which schools.

If any one needs breakdown for each of the sections..please feel free to let me know.

Till then, here are by scores and I am really looking forward to your advise. Thanks a lot.

DAT 1 (last year Oct 2008) DAT 2
PAT: 19 ----- PAT 23
QR : 15 ------ QR 19
RC: 16 (crap stays crap) RC 16
Bio: 20 -------- BIO 20
GC: 21 -------- GC 18
QC: 22 ------- QC 18
TS: 21 --------- TS 19
AA: 19 ------- AA 18

Also, my GPA is 3.3 and my sGPA is 2.98 ( am taking one masters level course this fall-even though its not much but it is something).
Since the last year I couldn't find a job in Dental clinic BUT got hired by a cosmetic company (but guess what, I hate the business industry)
I have 70hrs+ of volunteer/shadowing experience at the dental office... I have ample amount of volunteer experience (like building homes for homeless, blood drive etc.)
I have lots of surgical experience b/c of my research but sadly no publication...AND this is my second time applying...I have the following in my list: NYU, Stony Brook, Buffalo (since i am a NY resident), UMDNJ, Boston, Meharry, Howard...are there other important ones that I am missing...????

AND does anyone know of a good place to go and Scream.??

Why did you retake the DAT? your 1st DAT scores are pretty decent. Is this your second time applying? If so, did you get any interview invites last cycle?

I agree. Did schools tell you to retake the DAT last year? Was it because the RC score? Your first DAT is similar to mine, and you didn't get into any. I start to worry about my DAT now.

Nope I didn't get any interviews last year but that probably cause I didn't apply to that many school and to those I did, it was probably too late (cause it was sometime in October). I took my DAT cause both my MATH and RC score were trailing.

Do you mind telling me which schools you applied to?
