Hello! I have just joined this network and am so happy to have found it! Need some advice from all the wise applicants...

I am a reapplicant this year. I didn't get a lot of feedback from the one school I applied to other than..."apply earlier". Graduated in 06 from Colorado State University with Microbiology as my major. I have an overall GPA of 3.9 and science GPA of 3.86. DAT (not so great) 20AA, 22TS, 16PAT. I have been working in a dental office fulltime for the past 10 months. I applied to 18 schools this time and AADSAS mailed my application June 12. My boss thinks I am crazy to have applied to that many schools, but I really don't know! I would like to know what you guys think. Thank you very much!

well, you already applied, so it's not like you can get your money back! good luck. your GPA is awesome, not really sure how many schools you applied to last time, or why you didn't get in, hopefully you revamped your application and now you're well on your way to d-school. =D

everything looks great except of your pat score of course. i got accepted with a PAT of 16 and much lower numbers on everything else you stated. i applied to 20

Are you kidding me? Either you're trollin', or you must have very very high standards. How can you be unsatisfied with your scores?

I agree with your boss 🙂

You could have applied to 10 or fewer if you selected a bit more wisely.
