Sup guys. I just submitted my supplements; my AADSAS was submitted last week, and they are taking forever and ever to verify...so I failed to get into the first batch to start with.

Anyway...
Residence : MA
sgpa 3.58 / cgpa 3.60
DAT : 25AA / 24PAT
Undergrad : US News Top10
Shadowing : 660 hr (but including high school; 320 in college).
EC: mostly music (grad with performance distinction / orchestra prez / section principal / made a musical service club etc etc) & service trips to Honduras and Haiti.

My biggest concern is a C in orgo 1 (frosh year). I did get a 26 on DAT orgo and am now taking a summer session in another college, so I can update the dental schools with a new grade, even though that's not gonna replace my good old C.

Those who are experienced, do I have a good shot at the top tier schools? (Penn/Columbia/Harvard/UCSF/Michigan). I'm just immensely worried about the C in such a crucial course, and the fact that grad schools don't give a sh** about music.

Good luck everyone in the 2017-18 cycle!

no batches anymore.it's real time basically. you're extremely early. don't worry! great DAT!
it's almost impossible to predict for top schools. their GPA average is higher usually but i've sen many people even with lower GPA getting interviews. your high DAT will definitely give you a chance. acceptance for the schools really depends on the rest of your app, your character, the impression you make at the interview

I know this is just anecdotal evidence, but the president of my pre-dental club freshman year got into Michigan with a C in ochem. Hope that helps your nerves!

Oh lol I only read the beginning and the end of that sentence. One grade in most case won't be the deciding factor for admissions
