You can't get interviews with those scores. Retake is a must!

Congrats! Odds are looking really good for c/o 2017.
 
You should post a sticky. These nerds on SDN need to stop telling people to retake their DAT just because they didn't get 22+AA. Look at you girll!! 3 interviews already! Some people with better dat score don't even have interviews yet. WOW CONGRATS!
 
stop rubbing it in! 😀 congrats!!!

What are your stats?

I hope you hear something soon. I'm honestly not meaning to rub it in anyones faces, i'm just updating ppl of my status.

But my stats: 17AA/17TS/18PAT with 16 in gc and bio (second test)
3.7gpa 3.68 science
there are lots of different parts of my app so you can find that by searching for my name and one of my threads from earlier this year lists my entire resume essentially.

👍 Agreed!

I guess for some with less than competitive stats, merely getting interviews is a major milestone.

I know you've got your style and reputation on here and all, but that's just rude.

You are welcome !

OP is Native American, the rarest of URMs. You're in for a nice surprise if you think a 17AA and tons of CC credits will give you a competitive chance.

Uhh she is part native american but considered white....
 
I think 1/32 or 1/16 native american still considered native american.

I have a friend who is 1/16 native and qualified for all the scholarships designated for native americans.
 
It's disgusting how you guys keep trying to find reasons that got her interviews. I am sure being a URM is not the sole reason of her interviews
 
Congrats Dentalchick, nice work!

And just as interviews don't equal acceptance (as we were reminded earlier), URM doesn't equal acceptance and URM doesn't equal interview.

The rest of her app is pretty solid, I think.

thanks to those who stuck up for me. To those who are completely ignorant I hope you understand that kinda trait will stand out to ds if and when you get any interviews. So be mature and stop being snobs. Dont judge me or anyone for the stats I have. Showing jealousy isn't going to get you anywhere and I've worked my ass off to get where I am today even if my DAT isn't competitive. Look at all the current dentists that practice which probably more than half didn't do better than a 17 back in the day. Does that make them less qualified to be a dentist? NO. Most of them have experience and dedication without having an arrogant personality along with it which is far superior than any DAT score. So give it a rest and wipe your tears off, nobody cares.

Well said. Congrats dentalchick! 👍
 
Congrats and best of luck! What do you think makes you stand out in the crowd? Are you non-trad?

very good question, but I'm very well rounded. My DAT is ok, but gpa is good. I have been involved in a multitude of different unrelated things and I think that shows that I'm diverse and interested in other things besides dentistry. My PS is well written and tells them a genuine story about events in my life. I told them I had musical background, not so much academic growing up even tho I had straight A's in high school, I was very involved in music, not any other subject. And the fact that I've worked so hard to achieve a more academic degree instead of what I was used to doing, like playing music, shows how strong of a person I am. I am not a non-trad.

dc2016, hope you don't mind my sharing this. What I liked months ago when she was getting thrashed over these scores was the GPA, well-roundedness, dental experience, and research. No matter how involved the dental experience or research, it was there and it complemented the other things. If these interviews don't work out, you're invited to Bluefield.

haha, thanks! ya I'll be sure to inform you if I get accepted somewhere, hopefully I do!
 
Dear Dental Chick, you're stronger than I was. I remember after get my first DAT scores I posted a "chance me" post on SDN and everyone here told me to retake. I was super depressed after that and eventually studied for a retake. I think your resilient personality is more than enough to get you the acceptances you deserve. I think you're a fine example that applicants are more than just numbers on a sheet of paper. Keep your head held high; you're a great depiction of the future of dentistry. As future health care providers, we need to band together and help each other not find faults in each other's applications. I'm rooting for ya 😀
