I think you're good to go OP. Your DAT is excellent and your GPA is good. For some schools your GPA maybe considered slightly lower but I imagine you would be swept up in most standard devations for most accepted averages. Which is to say; your GPA + DAT will not keep you from getting into a dental school IMO.

Rule of thumb is: AA 23 = 23 schools

also check what are my chances thread, go the the bottom of the list of ranked schools and see which schools match your stats based off previous link.

Lol. What kinda question is that ? Apply to a few neighboring schools and I think you are guaranteed in at least one.

I, first off, don't think this OP is serious because his GPA is on par with most applicants and his score is ~98%, which mean he is in the top 300, in terms of AA score, in the nation if 14000 people took the test. Does he really believe, with ~4500 dental seats, that he will not get in? Are you serious?

Thanks guys. I was just making sure because on predents website so many people have GPA's which are 3.7+. That seems to be the average. SO I applied to most Midwest schools and hopefully that will be good enough!
