Need Help on chances, for this cycle!

Members do not see this ad.

First of all, i want to thank all of you for trying to help me out.
Here is my situation:

I am currently a junior (Chemistry major) , and to graduate before august 2013 i would have to take 7 credits in the summer of next year... so just bare with me and keep in mind that i can graduate before august 2013, but its not worth it saying thattt.....

I am taking the DAT June 7th and i will do well in it, there is not question about that... maybe not 23 but i will score above average. So i want to apply this june. My oGPA is 3.64 and my sGPA is 3.76. I want to apply to NOVA and this school DOES Not require a bachelors degree... i have spoken to the president of admissions and in a very pale tone he told me "no bachelors is required". Also, i will be a very particular applicant, i have 200 hours of flying (planes) time. Am a pilot, instrument rated (just so you have an idea that is like a bachelors lol, it was hard to accomplish). One more thing to mention is that i have 4.0 GPA in the classes required by NOVA, i have all A;s in all pre reques (B in genetics and cell bio 🙁 boooo) but they dont require these classes (they are recommended). Also, i have well above 110 credits overall.

So, now that you have an insight on my situation, what is your opinion on my chances of getting accepted? even though completing a bachelors before august is quite slim. Should i even apply or just wait till i graduate? i just don't want to wait another whole year 🙁

I plan to apply to all the schools that don't require a bachelors ( like 10+ of them) but nova is 15 min from my house lol.

Any help? any suggestions? Comments or recommendations would be appreciated!
THANK YOUUU!

Why not just apply and see what happens? I don't know anyone who has gotten in w/o a bachelor degree but if they say you can get in w/o it then why not give it a shot? what do you have to lose?

I would see if they have a spot on their website that lists current students stats. I applied and was accepted to UOP without a bachelors, but that was pretty much the only school I knew of that didn't require a bachelors, and actually accepted people without one. Most of the other schools do not technically require a bachelors, but when I looked at their class stats, 100% of students had one.

Guessing how you think you will do on the DAT is fine, but you need a real DAT score before anyone can somewhat accurately predict your chances.

I'm in the same situation, but at UF you can graduate (or walk) in the spring and finish your class in the summer. Although I only have to take 1 online class, not sure if the rule changes for 7 credits. You should talk to your adviser and see if you can do the same.

I know someone who got accepted December of his senior year of undergrad, and dropped his entire spring semester schedule. So he doesn't have a bachelors but has been a dentist for 20+ years. Granted, back then they weren't as worried about applicants having a degree I don't think.

Take the DAT, and repeat question.

You say you will do above average, well average is a 17.

If you get an 18 you are SOL.

If you get a 23 maybe you have a shot.

So take DAT, repeat question, not that it matters since you seem to already have your mind made up in your decision which is great.
