Need advice on my list for next application cycle. I have a 3.2 overall gpa 🙁, 3.4 science gpa, 8 yrs dental asst. experience, military experience, tons of volunteer and leadership, ca resident, and DAT pending (July). I have def 13 schools and need to choose 3 more. From your knowledge, where do I have a better chance. . Help?

i would only apply to the state schools in which you are a resident. especially regarding UW, you won't have a chance of getting in with those stats, even if you ace the DAT. they have a class size of 54 and show a huge preference for in-state applicants.

i didn't apply to any of the other schools you are considering adding to your list, so i can't really comment, although i think that harvard looks especially close at GPA. good luck! it's great that you are getting started early. get that app in mid-may!

I am very similar to your stat and everything else, military, volunteer leadership ect...I got into this year PM for any questions.

you are a CA resident but not applying to any Cali schools?

makes more sense to cross of Harvard and add a CA school.

What about NYU?

Really? Awesome..I love meeting prior military that have gone above and beyond. So what school did you get into? What did you get on your DATs? Do I have a good chance? Sorry for all the questions..
