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 heard that most applicants have eighter got their degree or have more than 90 credits at the time of application. Considering that I have about 70 right now, whoudn't it be a kind of disadvantage for me in terms of having less credits compare to other applicants eventhough I will be graduating next year?
I will really appreciate any comments that you might have about my chances to get accepted in any of those schools.
thanks

Your gpa is excellent and your scores are pretty good. The only disadvantage would be that you don't have 90 hours. Though if you contact the schools in question, I'm sure they can answer all of your questions.

I would contact each school to see if they even accept applicants with less than 90 hours.

With your current gpa and DAT score, your choice of schools seem very reasonable. You just have to make sure that you can apply with 85 hours.
