Hello everyone, I am applying this cycle for fall 2019 into dental school. I have a low gpa (3.2) and planning on taking the DAT next month. Was curious to hear success stories from students with lower GPA and where you got in?

GPA: ~3.25 sGPA, ~3.35 oGPA
DAT: 23AA/24TS
Where you applied: it would be too many to list but 25 schools, most of them being private OOS schools
Where you got in: Nova, UNLV
State of residency: NJ

7 or 8 interviews altogether I think, didn’t attend 3 of them (came later in the cycle and was already set on an earlier acceptance).

3.2ers- don’t worry, you are ok if your DAT is higher.

Although I disagree with a common sentiment that if you can’t get in by applying to 12 you can’t get in by applying to 20, I wouldn’t apply to 25. 20 is a good number for this GPA. More schools=greater chance for multiple interviews
