Hi everyone!
I'm applying this upcoming cycle and need some input on which schools I should apply to. I live in NY but qualify as a Georgia resident and my stats are as follows:
GPA: 3.4 Total, 3.1 BCP
DAT: 23 AA, 21 TS, 18 PAT
1000+ shadowing hours, 100+ volunteering hours

I was planning on applying to the following schools because they seemed OOS friendly (based on the 2014 ADEA guide):
NYU, BU, Tufts, Buffalo, Temple, Pittsburgh, Maryland, USC, Univ. of New England, Case Western, UNLV, and Georgia Regents

Any thoughts on other schools to add (or remove)? Since my stats are on the lower end, I am applying early, if that makes any difference. As always, thanks for your help guys and best of luck to everyone applying this cycle!

Your DAT is great, overall GPA is alright, and BCP is low. So it's tough to say. Based on your DAT, you will probably get interviews at 4-5 of those schools in my opinion.

Add Harvard and Penn

@andreadds why are you telling him to apply to Harvard and Penn?!

 

[la_fille]

I can't tell if that's a serious suggestion or not... lol. Well regardless, I think both are way out of my reach.

@la_fille your DAT is competitive for both of them just not your BCP

@andreadds why are you telling him to apply to Harvard and Penn?!

Because I have multiple friends with similar stats that graduated from there

@andreadds with a 3.1 BCP?

@andreadds with a 3.1 BCP?

Her data is outdated. You've got no chance at Harvard and tough shot at Penn in the current application pool unless you got some good connections there.

They look at dat more.

They look at dat more.

His DAT isn't high enough to offset his GPA at Harvard. I don't think it high enough even if his GPA was high due to his TS being 21.
