Just got my DAT scores in

Hello

So I'm a 3rd time applicant for this cycle. I have low overall GPA ( 3.15 oGPA, 3.1 Science, 3.75 masters) and 20 DAT (took it on July 16th).
My question is, I submitted my app 4th batch , and some schools took my unofficial DAT scores. Most schools didn't though

They just received my DAT yesterday because it took aadsas about 2 weeks to receive it. Now I would be considered like 7th batch for most schools.


I know that Its still July and blah blah blah , but how about schools that have rolling admissions such as LECOM and Midwestern ? Am I a little too late for those? Also for other schools without rolling admissions , I will be at the bottom of the pile, and with my stats I feel like that's going to hurt me. I know there are no Adcoms here , but does anyone know if most schools will give out most of the interviews to first batches ? Is 7th batch going to hurt me that much ?


Thank you

You are not late for lecom nor midwestern..

Thank you. Any input on schools without rolling admissions with my stats ? Such as Maryland Creighton Pittsburgh

Cuz they have high stats

Ughh.. yep I applied to Creighton. I know that UNE accepts most people from the East coast, and I am from WI. I deleted Roseman from my app, because it is ridiculously expensive (almost 400K I think). Western and USC I didnt apply to because I dont see myself living in Cali for four years.

This is my list

1. Boston U
2. Howard University
3. LECOM
4. Marquette University
5. Meharry Medical College School of Dentistry
6. Midwestern U – Arizona
7. Midwestern U – Illinois
8. NYU
9. Tufts
10. UDM
11. Maryland
12. Minnesota
13. VCU
14. Case Western Reserve University
15. Creighton University
16. Pittsburg University
17. NOVA
18. Temple

I have an interview for NOVA so far

BU, midwestern, NYU, Tufts, Minnesota, Case, and Nova are just as expensive as Roseman so I am not sure why you are not applying there...

I might have misread online :S. I thought I read that Roseman was $ 116.000 total cost per year, because Of the high living costs. I will check it out. Thank you very much Sir

I have the same issue as you.. Nova declined me before they even received my updated DAT scores which was a total bummer ! Hopefully I am still okay with all the other schools

Thank you for your help AVB 🙂. I just applied to Roseman. Cant wait to hear news from them. I still did not apply to Western even though they have low GPA requirements. I just cant see myself living in California. Thank you again.

Good luck with your other schools. I sent a picture of my unofficial DAT scores in an email to absolutely all schools I applied to, even if they didnt take unofficial scores. Most of them email me back saying that they didn't accept unofficial scores, but that they would make a note in my file saying that I retook it, and to wait for my official scores, and also added the unofficial score sheet to my file. Other schools did take those scores 🙂. Let me know how this process goes for you.

Cheers
