Hello SDN,
I would appreciate some advice on whether I should apply this cycle even though it's already September. I only recently switched from pre-med to pre-dental (about 6 months ago) and I was initially going to apply to dental school for the Fall 2017 cycle. I took my DAT earlier this month and got a 21AA and 22TS and have a 3.75 GPA. I'm from Texas so it is a little too late to apply with TMDSAS but I wouldn't mind going out of state.
I'm graduating this semester and if I waited, I would have an entire year and a half of time before dental school. So i'm not sure about what to do and would like advice because I have little shadowing experience with dentists (only 100 hours with the same endodontist) and I would be applying without my university's committee letter. Would applying now and not getting in hurt my application next cycle? Do I even have a chance of acceptance with such a late application?
Any advice is appreciated!
P.S. This is my first post, be gentle!
