Whats goin on everyone...seems like most people decide they wanna throw out their stats and get some feedback on their chances...so here we go:

cGPA: 3.46
BCP: 3.37👎

AA18👎 /TS19/PAT22

Applied: Case, UNLV, Creighton, Marquette, Louisville, SIU, UIC, Nova, BU, Tufts, Temple (just recently, USC (few weeks ago),Meharry, Detroit-Mercy
Rejected: Case, UNLV
Interview: Creighton, Marquette, Louisville, SIU

Why did case and UNLV reject you? I am willing to bet it was a bad section on the DAT.

Congrats on the interviews.
Louisville sucks for giving you an interview, I don't know of NE1 that has an interview with a 20+ DAT. Everyone is 20- that they look at. I would go there if I were you, you will be top of the class just by showing up.

You'll get in to a few schools, good job

Look at interview feedback and knock em dead 👍

I'm still unsure of case and unlv...i keep hearing things like "if you score under a 17 in any section ur out immediatly"...i got a 16 on the QR which screwed things up for me...

I just feel like everyone I know(I could be very wrong) that has an invite there is 20-. I have no official info.

 

[shamrock2006]

i wish i had an answer for you my friend...however if you are in the 20+ range..i wouldn't stress much. It seems like everyone and their mother is scoring over 20 these days and i thought i was sittin pretty w/ my 18...hmmmm...but thanks for the vote of confidence🙂 🙂

You have four interviews...Great job!! Now why are you wanting input with four interviews😕

 

[shamrock2006]

i'm only asking b/c i've been told that interviews, these days, aren't really that big of a deal..that even after ur interview its still strictly a numbers game. and seeing how everyone seems to be blowin up on the DAT and having these outstanding GPAs...just gets me thinkin....maybe i am just paranoid haha

Yeah dude, just chill down and level a little bit. There's no need for paranoia.

 

[tissy]

Nah!! You deserve the interviews otherwise you wouldn't have them. FYI....there are still a lot of pre-dents out there who don't have interviews..don't worry..you'll be 👍 😉 😉

 

[jim85213]

I have the same exact DAT scores as you (18/19/22) and my GPA is roughly the same BUT I have ZERO interviews. You definitely have a shot. BTW if you get into Louisville with those scores and I don't...I'll be eternally bitter. Good luck!!

not a big deal? if a school usually sends out 300 interviews out of about 2500+ applications, i think an interview is a BIG HUGE deal. dont worry.

I scored 18 or better on all sections and Case still rejected me
who knows what they want...

but the DAT isn't the only determinant..... u know? i thought i had some good extenuating circs and ECs, but they weren't enough to offset my horrifying gpa.

 

[ddsoon]

Your will get in at one of the schools you interview at.

 

[shamrock2006]

I really do hope so...i am just less than confident given the stats that everyone seems to have these days...so crazy...good luck all!

I've learned a few things while being part of this whole network. 1) Some of these people aren't completely honest with their scores, 2) This site is such a small percentage of the actual applicant field. So the people you see with 20+ DATs are literally at the top of the pool of the 10,000+ applicants for the 2007 cycle. And just remember grades aren't entirely everything. They like to see people who are well-roundedl; involved in the community, involved in their fraternity or hold positions on campus. Your extra curriculars play a pretty vital role, and will make you stand out next to those nice DAT numbers you've got!

Don't always compare yourself to people on here. It's intimidating, I know. I didn't even post on here the first month because I felt completely inferior. Just hang tough and have faith in yourself. You've made it this far....
