Dear fellow Pre-Dent & Newly accepted students,
I'm new to this forum and I'm already loving it!! Seeing all you guys pumped up about next year only makes me nervous about my application! Unlike you guys, I'm not your traditional >3.5 GPA students and who already got acceptances in the first round of notifications! As matter of fact, I JUST submitted my AADSAS application last week! Knowing it's kind of late, but anxious to see what will happen to my applications!
Let me know what you guys think of my situation!
Undergrad: 2.76 GPA
Post-bac: Osteopathic Medical school curriculum:
3.20 GPA
DAT: 17/24 (PAT) back in 1999
Retaking DAT in two weeks!(aiming for 20s)
Ample orientation to dentistry including dental research at Marquette Univ. and Univ. of Minnesota, shadowing/observing dental faculty members and students, members of ASDA & ADEA, dental summer programs plus lots of other stuff!
Schools that I applied to:
Marquette Univ
Nova Southeastern
Columbia
Temple
NYU
U Penn
UOPacific
Tufts
BU
I have spoken to every single admission coordinators/directors to those schools and they all said that I'm on the right track with the Post-bac. program and if I get 20s across the board on my second DAT, I will be in good shoes for Fall 2002!!
What do y'all think? I'll have a chance? No way in hell I'll have a chance?
Any input would be greatly appreciated!!
