Hey Everyone, I took my DAT on June 30th and sent out my application on June 3'rd. My goal was to have every part of my application complete before July. I feel that having an early application complete greatly increases your chances of getting interviews to your top choice schools. Here are my scores:

PAT - 21
Bio - 20
Chem - 20
Orgo - 21
Total Science - 20
Reading -18
QR - 19
AA - 20

GPA: 3.58

Now its time to choose which schools to apply too. My top choice schools are UPenn, Temple, Pitt, NYU, and Tufts. I will likely apply to all of these schools, but I would like to hear what people think my chances are of getting interviews to all of these schools.

I have significant dental experience working as a dental assistant for the past 2 years, am currently an officer at my schools pre-dental health society, and I have only taken my DAT once (I hear that some schools now consider the number of attempts taking the DAT). Overall, it basically all comes down to the DAT scores and GPA. I hope my chances of getting accepted somewhere are reasonable. I greatly appreciate everyone’s feedback.
