Hi guys. Hope you’re doing great. I don’t know what I should do. I just took the DAT and I got

AA-18
TS-16
PAT-21
RC-21
QR-19

GPA-3.8 | SCI GPA-3.7
I have been working in a dental laboratory for 3+ Yrs full time while in school
-I have been to a lot of training and seminars for dental procedures (have been to China to train)

I have shadowed doctors for 200+ hrs (don’t know if doctors with licenses outside of the US count because I could have more)

I have 100+ Volunteer hours with a non-profit and other organizations

I have been an officer for our dental association at our school for 1yr and a member for 3

also involved in other clubs as officer as well.

I don’t know if I should continue applying or not.

please lend me your advice.

thanks in advance.

Your GPA is fantastic, but that TS 16 is a game changer. I don't know of any schools that will look favorable on that score. I don't claim to know everything and it is ultimately the schools choice, that is why I urge you to reach out to a few schools directly. IMO, a retake will be in your future.

All you other stats are great, you just need to bring up the DAT scores.

Wishing you the best...Nancy, Destroyer
