Hello guys:
I'm new here and this is gonna be my first post although I've read a lot during a couple past weeks!!!!
Finally, I'm done with the DAT and any comments form you about my score as well as the schools I should consider will be really appreciated!!!
Here is my stat:
I'm basically a sophmore but I will be graduating next spring( considering that right now I have 70 credits and by end of this summer I will have about 85 and will take the rest on fall, winter and spring). and thats why I wanna apply for the 2010 cycle. So far I have a 4.0 science GPA and a 3.93 for the overall ( a couple B's on Political science and Graphic Design!!!!!) and i'm confident that I can get A's in all my summer classes ( I love summer!!!): I've been in a foriegn medical school for two years and passed over 70 credits in medicine such as 9 credits in human anatomy, 8 in physiology, 8 in bio chemistry,8 in epidomiology, 4 in embryology, histology, immunology, microbiology and virology,physics of medicine and some other courses. I could not transfer them to here but I will be sending a copy of my transcript from medical school to ADEA to let them know that i have taken those before but I don't know that this is gonna help me in any way. there are people who are saying that it will be in ur benefit becuase it says that you have a strong science background and others say that it is not going to look good as the school might think that why I wanna change from medicine to dental although i have a good explanation for that and will say it in my personal statement.
Here is my DAT score:
Biology:19
GC:21
OC:21
TS:20
PAT: 18
QR:19
RC:18
AA:20
I'm very upset with my performance on the exam. I just studied 2 weeks and was getting 23, 24,22 in my topscore AA but I don't know what happened. still I think it is not that bad and I have a chance to get in. I don't really have time to retake the test as I'm busy with the summer classes, so I will go with this result.
i'm applying for Maryland, virginia, pensylvania, new york state and howard, but my best choice is maryland.
I will really appreciate any comments that you might have about my chances to get accepted in any of those schools.
thanks

You have a 4.0 and a 20AA.
Most schools have 19 or 20 averages. With average gpa's of 3.5ish.
You are above average so chill out.

You studied for 2 weeks and only got a 20? Wow.

You're fine...good DAT and excellent GPA...you'll get in somewhere. You may even want to add more schools if you are interested in others.

its either ur a genius or Im dumb, 2 weeks of study and 24s in topscore?!!! come on people.....

Nice scores. With all those upper level biology courses 2 weeks is more then ample time. (if you devote urself)

 

[allstardentist]

your GPA will get you in alot of places. dont worry about maryland, i think you have a great chance

I'd be upset too if I took all those biology courses and got a pathetic score of 19 on the bio section.

I guess you should've studied longer than two weeks.
