Yea, I kinda knew that would be the case... but just thought I'd post in case anyone actually had to go thru a similar situation and actually got in 😀

I seriously don't want to take it next 2008, cuz that's 1 year of free time... my brain might forget everything I learned plus, I'm not getting any younger 😳

Alright, let me give you a serious answer. Save your energy and apply next cycle. The statistics are not good for you this time around, but I'd like to add the following about what you said:

Don't worry about being out 1 year. Enjoy it.You have an entire life to live, you don't have to get started in a career on the first day.

When I was an undergrad I started doing filmmaking for the university. documentary stuff, pretty boring really. But I loved filmmaking so I left college when i was a senior to take a semester to do some work in television. I only intended to take off for a semester, but I landed a job in a great place to work. It was a #1 rated, syndicated radio and television show out of NY with a long haired guy who's known as much for interviewing celebrities as he is for for having strippers, crackheads and midgets on his show.

After developing a craft of writing fart jokes and song parodies, I moved into motion pictures. I worked in movies for a few years until I finally decided that I was on the right track when i was in college and that I wanted to work in the healthcare industry.

So, I was out of undergrad for 12 years before applying to dental school! That's right, 12 years. I could barely remember what school I went to, so you can imagine it was tough to remember what Boyle's law is.

So to put an end to this long and boring response, you're not going to be too old. I mean, I doubt there's many older than me and I figure I still have time. So enjoy the year off. I recommend you pack a bag and hop from hostel to hostel through Europe, or spend some time in the Caribbean. Or go to New York and write fart jokes. One day you will be too old to do those things.

I was in the same boat last year, kuno. Took the DAT late and didn't have everything in until late November. I was also getting ready to take Orgo II second semester senior year. Unfortunately, the stuff you learn in that class is almost impossible to teach yourself from the Kaplan book, heck it was almost impossible to learn from the class. Hence, I got a 15 on that section the first time 🙁 . I still got 1 interview in February, but when it came down to it, they said the 15 was "simply unacceptable"... haha. So I was out $300 and had to find a job for a year. I didn't want to look for a really serious job since I was reapplying, so I got on at a local Nut Factory (haha!!!) and put my $120,000 undergrad chemistry degree to absolutely no use at all. Fortunately, I got in this time around and will be bidding adieu to the nuts in August. So unless you have awesome everythings, I'd hold off this year and see if the nut factory in your area is hiring 😉 Good Luck!!!

definitely too late. it takes up to 8 weeks for AADSAS to process your application. Apply early next cycle (May).

I was half wondering if the OP was joking or serious. You can never really tell with these guys...
