Good work! A 19 is a solid score... typical of an accepted dental student, so good job. And you have a decent gpa too. Sounds like you're going to be a great applicant. Good luck!

Looks pretty mediocre. Given current trends dental school admissions are just so unpredictable. Plenty of people get accepted with 17s but averages are quickly rising. The scores recently released from last cycle are very high compared to a few years ago. Just make sure to apply early. I applied late this cycle with a 22AA and I haven't gotten an acceptance yet. Just wait lists.

I think you are very competitive. How did you study for the sciences, if you don't mind me asking?

I used Chad's Videos and destroyers as the main source. I wish I had gotten a high score on Organic Chem because I was averaging 21+ on Topscore but I am content with the overall score I received.

Overall a little bellow a 3.7. Science is above a 3.3. Went to Emory for undergrad, as suggested by my username. Tool some
Summer classes outside of Emory that ended up raising my gpa. So my Emory gpa is a bit lower.
Extracurriculars were good (several executive board positions, hundreds of volunteering hours, a litte research, over 100 shadowing hours).
My biggest weaknesses are: Biochem is planned for this summer, did bad in some chemistry classes, 17 on DAT bio section (my TS was still 20 though).
For me the process has been really unpredictable. Virtually all my interviews have been at "high caliber" schools and I haven't heard/gotten rejected from the "easier" to get into schools. Realy odd...

Your specs are great. It is probably because you applied too late. I am 100% sure you will be accepted this cycle, but if you do not then you can still apply in June when the new cycle opens up and you will definitely get in to some good schools.
