You have great extracurricular, especially for ASDOH. Your GPA/DAT are decent, but these stats with the minority bonus will help you a lot with almost all of these schools. However, I am not too sure about your chances at Columbia, but you never know!

Your overall app. looks good because of your extracurriculars. An RC of 17 is almost always an immediate flag to committees but since you applied early I think you have a good shot at landing a few interviews. However, I would plan on taking the DAT again to improve your science and rc sections to offset the lower then avg. sci gpa. Are you a FL resident?

at Columbia on your list.

 

[cluckyducky]

at Columbia on your list.

.... Really? How old are we, twelve?

 

[diene]

at Columbia on your list.

There is hope/there are exceptions! I don't think it will hurt the OP for applying!

 

[theleatherwalle]

Your stats are average.

I would remove UNLV, Alabama, and Columbia

UNLV: Focus on reading score
Alabama: Unless you have great stats since you are out of state...your chances are low
Columbia: They really really really like DAT crushers.

I would put other schools in their place.

Kentucky or Louisville would be good options.

Good luck you'll get in somewhere. I think youll be competitive for UF, which is a great school.

I don't know about chances and all but that right there should be reason enough you should get in. Also as Diene mentioned ASDOH will love you 🙂. I'm hoping its on the top of your list because it is one of your top picks.

With great ECs, Avg GPA and Avg DAT I am sure you'll get in somewhere into your list of schools. Good luck!

Like one of the other members pointed out Columbia will be a huge stretch because they value Stats above everything else. Doesn't hurt to try though.

I have the adea book and my dat score is within the range of those that have gotten accepted to many of the schools on my list. Im just not sure about the 17s

The 17s don't look good, but they are past the bare minimums. Your application won't be thrown out because of them. Rest easy and rock the interviews when the time comes. Like I said, I feel you'll get a few interviews, though places like Columbia probably won't be too interested since they place a heavy emphasis on DAT scores.
