First of all, thanks in advance for reading this thread. I've gotten a lot of help from these forums for DAT prep, school applications, etc.

I took the DAT in August 2012 w/out applying to dental school. Decided to get my MBA before "making the leap" into a career in dentistry. Now I'll be finishing my MBA in 2015 right before (hopefully) starting dental school.

Here are my stats:
DAT: 22AA/22SCI/25PAT
Undergrad GPA: 3.86 overall, ~3.7 Science - Majored in Health Science, Minor in Biology
Graduate GPA: 3.7 (All business courses)

Here are the schools I'm planning on applying to:

• Utah
• UNLV
• UW
• UCLA
• San Antonio
• Creighton
• UPac
• Colorado
• Baylor
• Louisville

I think this is a good mix of "reach" and "accepting" schools but what do you all think? Also does anyone know if there are certain schools that would be more likely to accept an MBA student (and schools that wouldn't)?

Thanks a lot!

I think your GPA and DAT scores speak for themselves. You're well above average for most if not all of the schools in the US. Major doesn't matter as long as you have done your homework and have or will have fulfilled all prerequisites prior to matriculation.

What is your state residency?

Otherwise, you have very competitive stats and are fine for applying to pretty much any school.
