Members do not see this ad.

I am a 3rd time reapplicant. The first time I had a really low DAT score (16) and the next time around I got my DAT up quite a bit but by the time my scores were sent out it was late August/ early September. I was fortunate to receive one interview but after all did not get accepted.

So I'm not giving up and applying again and have submitted much earlier this time.

I am a Texas resident. Submitted Texas application 6/20 and out of state 7/12 ish. Out of state schools have received my apps but still waiting for confirmation from Texas schools.

oGPA: 3.48, sGPA: 3.23, graduateGPA: 3.5 (only after 2 classes)

DAT: 20 AA, 20 TS, 23 RC, 21 PAT, 16 QR

I have over 100 hours of community service and about 160-180 hours of shadowing.
I've worked 2 dental service activities and plan to do another upcoming one.
I was competed in sports throughout college and was involved in a couple different honor society/clubs

This year I have applied to:

All 3 Texas schools
Michigan
UMKC
Kentucky
Lecom
Colorado
Kornberg


Are there any other schools that would benefit me to apply to quickly before it's too late? Or anything else to do to better my app in the mean time?

This list looks pretty good as far as target and reach schools go – your GPA is right around the average, or slightly below for some. Since it's your third time applying, I'd put on a couple schools that are definite safeties! You can sort dental schools by rank and average GPA/DAT etc at http://dental-schools.startclass.com/
Choose a couple where your numbers are way higher, just to give you peace of mind! Good luck!

Thank you!!

So far I've added Marquette and want to add a couple more once I figure out what would be best with my stats like you said!
