My cGPA is 4.21 on AADSAS scale and sGPA is 4.19. I took Canadian DAT and score is AA:20, Bio:21, Chem:20, RC:19,TS:20, PAT:15, Carving:8. I am taking American DAT on 30th June and I am sure I will do much better. I have 70 hrs shadowing experience and no other ECs. I have finally decided to apply to the following schools-
1. Pacific
2. Nova
3. Indiana University
4. University of Michigan
5. University of Detroit
6. Columbia
7. Case
8. UPenn
9. Marquette
10.University of Louisville
11.Harvard
I know BU, NYU, Tufts and Temple are Canadian friendly but I have been advised not to apply there with high GPA. I want to join a school that can provide me very good clinical training and I am not interested in Research. I also want to do specialization after DDS so I want to join a school where I should have good chances to go for specialization. Is the list given above good or if anyone can provide any input to change or delete or add any choice?
Also I am wondering if I should send my Canadian DAT score or not? I am thinking if I send the score it will complete my application on the very first day but then I am thinking how my PAT and Carving score will effect. Is it better to send the Canadian score alongwith the application on 1st of June and then send American DAT score after 30th (I am not sure if schools will look at my later sent score or not) or should I wait till 30th to send the score and just send American one.
Any input will be highly appreciated. Please don't criticize.
