Well i was wondering when the last date you can turn in application to be considered an early applicant. Right now I have a 3.3 overall and 3.2 science and am taking two science classes (physics and microbio lab). I'm planning on Aceing both but they dont give grades back till the 18th which is a few weeks after the opening day of dental apps. I Calculated and it would raise both gpas about 0.03. Is it worth waiting for grades? I am also taking DAT on july 3rd was wondering if this was too late. I finish finals on the 9th of june and wanted a whole month of focus studying for it.

Another question is i already picked my 5 free schools to send DAT how do I add more? do I do it before, at, or after I take my test?

Finally I wanted to know my chances I have several extracurriculars chicano for community medicine member and vice pres of Global dental brigade, 200+ hours of dental shadowing, am Hispanic (dunno if this even matters), and had a short research opportunity dental related for two quarters, and GPA had upward trend from 3.0 (quarterly GPAs always above 3.5 junior and senior year) . What DAT score would I need to be safe?

Thanks for the response.

Dang both would raise by .3??? How many units do you have? I had to take like 60 units to raise it .3. -_-

Oh man your pic made me laugh so hard. That is so good, but then it made me remember what a pain ochem is... I wish there was a list of all the rules organized somewhere so I could just memorize that instead of reading =/.

If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't get my materials in later than mid-July (at the latest!!). That was one crucial mistake on my part that nearly knocked me out of the running. As for DAT, I'd aim for 20+ all around.
