Hey I'm looking for advice as to which schools to apply this year.

I'm hispanic,
BA in Biology GPA 3.1
Graduated from UT
Volunteer hours over 1000 hrs with General,Ortho,Pedo,Oral
Worked last two years in Hospital as an Pedo Assistant.

Other than Texas schools what other OOS should I apply to?

What are your DAT scores?

 

[PeDoIsMyThInG]

DAT 17

 

[I want to go to there]

DAT 17

Nowhere with that GPA and DAT score. It's gonna be waste of money. Study your ass off and get 22+ on the DAT.

Meharry?

I think if you got a feeling that you might make it, just apply... If 3.4 is an average, there are certainly people at 3.7+ and people below 3.5 who lower the average. If there weren't any people applying with low gpas, the averages would be around 3.6

Below average gpa and 17 is really not acceptable unless you apply to meharry or Howard. Dont waste money applying. I would retake the dat

He's better off buying $300+ worth of lottery tickets. Meharry favors black students.

hey thats pretty racist

I'd say meharry, howard,loma,uic,marquette. Marquette and UIC have programs (prematriculation programs)for ppl with DATs and gpas similar to yours. If you have the money to spend a lot of schools have these kinda programs ppl on here just don't talk about them like it's taboo or something.
