It took me a while cuz I wasn't sure I even wanted to apply this summer (was thinking about doing a gap year) until a couple weeks ago. I got everything together quick (I already had my letters of rec on interfolio) and am ready today. Am I a little late with the 4-6 weeks that aadsas predicts for gpa verification? Will it really take that long right now?

my stats:
MN Resident
oGPA= 3.9
sciGPA= 3.86

AA= 21
PAT = 17
Bio = 19
OC = 20
GC = 19
RC = 25
qR = 20

I am only applying to Minnesota, Marquette, and Iowa as of now. I just ordered that big ADEA book so I'll wait till that gets here so I can analyze it and add more schools (i'll have plenty of time before my app is ready to be sent out anyway, it appears). I'm thinking about doing 7 or 8 schools total, any suggestions based on my stats? I know I'm a relatively competative applicant but my I am applying a bit late and have a crappy PAT score (which Minnesota, my state of residency, values a lot) so what do you guys think. Thanks

Dude...you have a 3.9 gpa...and you DAT is well above average...


...I need to get off of SDN.
 
It took AADSAS 8 days to calculate my gpa from e-submission (a few weeks ago). So likely you won't have to wait 4-6 weeks. After they calculate your GPA however, they will include you in their next batch mailing, which will be another 1-2 weeks after that. Probably late Aug you'll be out the door.

Hey! I submitted my application exactly one year ago today, and I remember I actually mailed 8/10. I started receiving secondary stuff about a couple days after 8/10 and had interviews by the end of the month to Marquette, Louisville and Creighton. My stats were relatively similar to yours (3.7GPA/20AA/21PAT)... You're fine. However, I'd add more school sooner rather than later. Do a search for OOS friendly schools here on SDN and you won't have to wait for your ADEA book to come.
 
Thanks for the info. Anyway, I looked through the book and ended up settling on minnesota, marquette, iowa, colorado (my 4 top schools), and creighton, pitt, and boston (safeties). I figure if I can't get into boston (3.3 avg gpa 19.3 avg dat) then I'm not gonna get in anywhere else either. Do you guys think I should add some more or is this good enough?
 
add as many as your heart get satisfied w.
 
Apply to privates like USC, Columbia, NYu. You are bound to get into those schools.
Gluk with the application process.
