Hey Guys.

So i have a 3.3 cGPA and im taking the Canadian DAT this summer. ABout what DAT score do you think will be competitive enough to offset my slightly lower GPA? Also, are there any scores that are more leenient towards a steep upward trend or..weight GPA not as heavily? =S Do I have a chance!!?!
 
I'd definitely apply to the private schools, I know Columbia is very DAT focused. I had a similar GPA and with a 22AA I think that just about completely made up for the GPA.
 
Thanks for the reply! So Columbia..what other private schools do you recommend?

Tufts, BU...

I'd tell you to check out predents.com but I don't think the site is working right now. I keep getting a "this page failed to load" error. But once that site is up again, it's a great resource. You can search for your GPA and look at profiles of people and see where they got in.
 
there is no CDAT exam during summer
it's only offered in november and feb
I am canadian too, and I have exactly the same GPA as you 🙂
I would say try to get above 20
