I think a lot of my classmates are in my range of GPA and DAT (in my signature). But they accept about half of the people with below a 20AA DAT and half above it. I don't know what your other stats are, but 3.45 cGPA is good enough to get in, mine was around there!

Those are good stats, you should be able to get an interview invite, but the real determination is the video interview. And yes I am in the Temple post-bacc program right now. There is a thread about it if you haven't seen it before.

Temple University Kornberg School of Dentistry Post-Bac Program
Here is the official website: Post Baccalaureate Program | Temple University - Maurice H. Kornberg School of Dentistry
I love it so far. We are learning so much dentistry before dental school. We will but wayyy ahead of the game when we start D1 than other students that have not taking this program. We are taking courses that will be covered in dental school so we are already introduced to the material. We also get clinical experience assisting 3rd and 4th year students in the clinics as well as oral surgery.
Yes, it is worth going although it is expensive, the experience will be worth it as you will be better dentists after graduation.

If you have more questions, feel free to ask! Unfortunately the deadline has passed for this cycle.

They should send you an email early 2019 so look for that email for that application. And yes there are people that got in with those stats before.

You don't, they send a mass email to everyone that didn't get an acceptance to Temple up to that date.

What is the interview process like? There is a in person interview then a recording interview?

 

[SaeWat]

It used to be just a recorded interview, but they changed the format and now I think they have a panel asking you questions but it is still recorded I believe, not sure exactly but interviews start early March.

 

[Bab5]

Thank you for replying I just read the other thread containing all the other info. I have my interview scheduled for march 12th.
