This is my second time applying, and so far I've only had 2 interviews and no acceptance ("still being considered").

Should I start thinking about reapplying again? Maybe getting a masters?

A masters might not be a bad idea. I would reccommend a DAT retake. A 19 AA is solid, but you need to bring up your science sections. With a 3.34 science, schools will want to see that you can handle the heavy science curriculum. A good performance on the science sections could do that. Your science scores validate your science GPA. What schools have you applied to? When did you apply?

Your GPA is fine. Retake the masters and do better in the sciences. gl

I applied to 20 schools and was interviewed at Creighton and ASDOH.

Your GPA and scores are fine. If you're like everybody else who applied and havn't heard anything back, your application didn't give them an idea of who you are. Most likely, your app's a laundry list of things you've done.

Do the Masters. I know someone who didn't do well on their undergrad so she went on masters and got in! some schools like ppl with masters degree.

If you don't get in this year, get some feedback from the schools where you interviewed to find out what they think you can do to improve your application.

Your GPA is fine, what is holding you back is your lower science scores on the DAT. Retake it and get 19+ (preferrably 20+) in every science section and you will have a very good shot.
