it is possible. you need a really high GPA and strong DAT scores. in other words you must be an outstanding applicant.

Agreed, if you search this forum there is lots of threads on this topic...

by outstanding, do you mean like a GPA of 3.5 or higher ?


Also, if I do retake a course, is the average counted or the highest mark, particularly for NYU ?

Thanks

Yes, way above a 3.5, more like above a 3.7. I also don't think re-taking classes is really an option when you're applying with no degree, they really want spectacular stats

Is their a different ranking for Canadain applicants ? Like, school could be harder in the US than it is in Canada or vice versa.

its hard for applicants from the US to get in w/o a degree, it is also harder for international applicants to get into US schools. i think your best bet is trying for private schools because state schools have residency requirements. i know there are some canadian ppl on SDN so try asking them for some advice.

Let's put it this way, I had a similar idea to yours, but I actually live in the US. I pretty much called about OVER a dozen schools and got a lot of "no" we want a degree, or yeah we take with a degree as long as you have a 3.9 or above and a minimum of a 22 or above on all sections of the DAT, so I pretty much threw that idea out the window REALLY quickly...lol

It has been a while now since I applied without a degree...but it is possible 🙂- I think these stats are realistic.
