So I guess a lot of students post up their info and get some help so I thought lemme try it out. I really want to send out my DAT scores today and figure out where I will apply to.

I'm a Texas Resident, my GPA is 3.41 and my Science GPA is a 3.26. I'm an Anthropology major and I'm in the Honors College at the University of Houston. I volunteer at the Homeless shelter Dental Clinic downtown, am really active in campus organizations (like Homecoming, Residential Life and Housing, Student Alumni Assoc., etc.).


My DAT scores are 21AA, 22Bio, 22Chem, 22Orgo, 20PAT, 22Reading Comp, and 17Math.

The schools I am thinking about applying to are:

.ASDOH.
.Midwestern.
.USC.
.Western.
.UConn.
.Howard.
.Louisville.
.Maryland.
.Tufts.
.UMich.
.UMDNJ.
.Columbia.
.Case.
.Pitt.
.Temple.
.Meharry.
.Baylor.
.UT-DB.
.UTHSC-SA.

I was thinking about narrowing it down but I really feel like I should apply to at least 18-19 schools because I don't want to get rejected and have to re-apply again. Do you have any suggestions on where I should or should not apply?

with your stats, save for the QR in DAT, i'd say you have a fairly good chance of getting in to several schools on your list. Personally i think your list may be a bit too big, especially since you're TX resi with decent GPA and DAT, good EC and dental experience. I'd say you have like an 80% chance of getting into at least one of the TX schools if you dont bomb your interviews.
