How to know if rejected?

I submitted my application pretty late, I think everyone was submitted and verified by the end of October. Since then all the schools I applied to either say "Received/Under Review" OR "Received/Application Complete". I have not received any interviews or anything else after the supplemental. What I want to ask is basically, have I been rejected from all the schools since I have heard nothing from them, or since I submitted late just to keep waiting?

If you have high stats and overall a strong application, I wouldn't lose hope yet. However, you did apply pretty late. If your stats are on the lower end, I would begin mentally preparing that you may have to reapply next year. If that's the case, retake the DAT if needed and get your app in first thing.

well my gpa is a 3.45 and i got a 20 on my DAT, do you think retaking it would be worth it for the next cycle?

My stats are similar - my GPA is a 3.52 and I got a 20 on the DAT. My app was mailed to 11 schools late August. So far I have only had 2 interviews and 1 acceptance (and 2 rejections). I'm not sure if mailing in June would have made a huge difference or not. I personally planned on retaking the DAT if I didn't get in this cycle and aiming for a 22+ to make myself more competitive. You can see my scores in my sig, but all of mine were right around my AA, so aiming for a 22 for me would show that I increased in all areas. Without knowing your breakdown, it's hard to say.

for my DAT I scored a 20 in every section, and I heard dental schools like scores that are similar (i could be wrong). If i don't get in anywhere I was planning on just doing a masters program or something.

For your rejection, how did you find out about it?
