I need a little help! I am from Washington and currently go to UW going into my senior year, I have a 3.37 Cum and 3.0 science, and am about to take the DAT, hoping for 20+. The reason my GPA is low is because I work full time to support my schooling and housing, but I know I can do well on the DAT to balance out my GPA. I have over 250 hours of community service/time in clinics, and some research in the UW dental school dealing with public health. I've had different types of jobs and EC's and had the chance to study abroad for a few months. My questions are...
1)If I get 20+ on my DAT would I be a somewhat competitve applicant?
2)How can I let them know that I work full time and tell them why my GPA is low, do I do that through my personal statment or on the AADSAS app somewhere?
3)Any thoughts of what would make me a more competitive applicant?
Please be brutally honest I need to know what I need to do, my passion is in dentistry and I know that if I get interviews I can show that to them.
Thanks!
