I have applied to around 25 schools before taking my DAT because i did not know how well I was going to do...I recently took the DAT yesterday and am wondering, do I really have to apply to these many schools...can someone please tell me my chances in getting into my top choices...

UCLA, UOP, Upenn, Columbia, Harvard, UCSF

PAT: 21 (93%)
QR: 15 (38.3%)
RC 18 (38.1)
BIO: 24 (98.4%)
GC: 21 (86.2%)
OC: 27 (98.2%)
TS: 23 (97.7%)
AA: 21 (91.0%)

I have a 3.72 GPA overall and 3.82 science GPA.

I did an internship at Stanford university for about 4 months and shadowed every specialist in the book. Also I am the president of my predental club. I started my own fraternity on campus and also started an Ice Hockey Club team.

Also I turned in my application early May 20th, but I am just now starting my supplemental applications for Upenn and UCLA...Does anyone think i have a chance??? or is it too late to turn in those supplemental applications for those schools. THANKS
 
Those numbers are really good and you will definitely get an interview at the schools you are interested in. 25 schools is really excessive. If you have a top 6, apply to those. The trick is making a good impression at your interviews after your numbers get you in the door. Good luck.

Oh and isn't hockey the greatest sport ever?

Harvard (and maybe UCLA) could be a stretch, but you never know what they might see in your app beyond the numbers...

Good luck.
