I e-submitted this past week and mailing out my supplementals tomorrow. All my transcripts are in on AADSAS and im hoping they can verify my gpa this week.

My last LOR is coming in this week as well so hopefully my application will be fully complete by June 23rd.

I was wondering what my chances were for interviews and acceptance.

Here are my stats:


IL Resident
Molecular Cellular Biology- Major
Business- Minor
Chemistry- Minor

BCP GPA: 3.29
Sci GPA: 3.37
Non-Sci GPA: 3.39
Overall GPA: 3.38
(These are the gpas, I calculated on my own after I put them into AADSAS)

DATS:
Bio: 18
Orgo: 17
Chem Chem: 21
QR: 19
RC:19
PAT: 19
AA: 19
TS:19
(I am going to retake the DATs this July)


Extra Curriculars:
-95 Hours of Dental Assisting with a Pediatric Dentist
-100Hours of Dental Assisting/Shadowing with a General Dentist
-20+ Hours of helping a periodontist write a case report
-60 Hours of office hour volunteering for a non-profit dental organization
-30-40 Hours of random volunteering locally
- President, VP, and Treasurer of 3 diff clubs (2 = dental clubs)
-dance team


Hand Dexterity: Guitar, drawing, architecture courses.

I am going to retake my DATs mid-july...hoping to get 20+ on TS and AA. My gpa seems lower than average, but I hope applying early can compensate for that?

Any feedback would be great, thanks!

Hard to say anything without knowing how many schools your applying to and what new DAT is.

Assuming you do get 20 TS & AA and have 18+ schools, I think you'll land multiple interviews.
