You have a fighting chance, but only with a much better DAT.

You need to literally sit down for several months and study your tail off for the DAT. You made up for your undergrad with the 3.6 masters GPA, but your DAT is still holding you back. Study for it like your life depended on it and you'll get in.

so if i end up with a 23 DAT do you think ill have a chance?

I have also done alot of volunteer work and travelled abroad and been apart of alot with the community in undergrad

im really nervous but as long as i still have a chance i might as well try to kick butt with whats in my control

If you get a 23 AA on the DAT, I think you'd be pretty solid to get into at least one school. Also depends where you're applying though. If you're applying broadly, and to private schools... you'll have a shot.

With your masters and all of your extra curriculars I think you'd get in with a 21 honestly. That's just one person's opinion though.

I would focus on DAT first and then worry about what if question. Study hard!
