I was looking over the stats for a few schools and I noticed they always put the mean scores but what about the range. Cause I'm sure there are plenty of applicants that don't have the averagev3.5 gpa.

For example: I have a 3.0 gpa, 21AA, 22 TS, 200 hrs of dentilstry experience and 300 hr of volunteering along with work experience. Which schools do u think a person woth a low gpa and high dat score has a good chance at? I'm from cali

Also, with a 3.0 you may need to take further course work without an exceptionally high DAT to have a 'good' chance. However, if you have a very strong upward trend that will work in your favor. Schools you will have a chance with now will be USC, Western, possibly NYU and other private schools (specifically target the new schools).
