I applied To Nova really late, October 5th with supplement 3.75 gpa
3.69 science gpa. 19 AA, 21TS 19Pat and alot of extracurricular. Should I lose hope?

I applied to USC, Nova, Tufts, NYU, BU, Buffalo, Stonybrook, Penn, Temple and UNDMJ. I am retaking the DAT in january but for now does anyone think I will get any interviews?

I wouldn't say your chances are zero but you face quite the disadvantage. If you have excess cash, I'd apply. Otherwise, wait til next cycle.

Any other suggestions?

You are totally fine...most schools have indeed given out pre-December interviews but most schools only fill half their class with these people. Looking at your stats you have above average GPA's and average to above average DAT scores with the exception of UPenn. This should land you plenty of post-December interviews assuming you are not an ax murderer.

May I ask why you are retaking your DAT in January? Your scores are very competitive and will not hold you back from getting interviews. There is no point to retake in January anyway since that will be even later in the cycle and schools will have given out January and February interview slots. Instead, apply fully this cycle and see what happens. If you don't get into a school, call them up and ask why not. If they say, apply earlier, well...then apply earlier. If they say get a better DAT score then retake in the summer and apply in June/July.

I really don't see any need to ruin your life over the next few months re-studying for the DAT when you have really good scores according the real world and not SDN fantasy land. Roll with what you got, score some interviews and knock them out...Good Luck!!
