well what is your DAT? if you get above 20 and you apply early then you have A chance.

i still have to give DAT...sometime around this june or july...

Try and shadow a lolt. It is even hard to get into private schools these days due to increased selectiion and greater applicants. Write a really good personal statement. Of course, ace the DAT. I believe scoring big on the DAT will be your chance to have them not throw your application out, after seeing your GPA. You run the risk of being weeded out early so really score high.

study hard for the DAT and you definitely have a chance. your GPA is below average so you gotta make sure your DAT is above average!

best of luck

As long as you nail the DAT, have solid LOR's, PS, EC's and shadowing, apply early and interview well you should manage to get in at least somewhere.

wrong! I'm a damn proud academic underachiever and have always been! I probably had one of the lowest sci/bcp GPAs in my class!

As for the OP, you'd need higher than usual DAT, think 21s, scores to be competitive

thanx everyone for their replies...hope I do good on DAT's...HAPPY MOTHER's DAY!!

1)You do have a good chance. 2) Some schools are easier to get into, but you'll need to check www.predents.com to see the average GPAs and DAT scores. 3) You aren't required to have a BA or BS before applying---but most schools highly recommend it (almost required if you don't have killer stats). 😎
