Hello SDNers. I sent my apps in late June and took my DAT mid-August. My scores are below:
PAT 25
QR 18
RC 17
BIO 18
CHEM 20
OCHEM 21
TS 19
AA 19
sGPA of 3.12 and oGPA 3.2.
150+ hours of shadowing hours of general dentists.
100+ hours of community service
I have been working full time as a dental office receptionist/dental assistant for the past 15 months.
I have held executive board positions all 4 years in college in my fraternity as well.
I know I dont have a GPA or DAT scores up to par with a lot of people on the SDN forums, but what do you all believe my chances are for this cycle? Should I retake the DAT? Or should I just focus on increasing my GPA? I have applied to Pacific, BU, NYU, Western, UNLV and a few others that I dont think I have a shot at. If I dont get in anywhere this cycle, are there any other schools you guys recommend I should add to my list?
