My D Day is scheduled for the May 7.

I've been studying about 2 months for it, 13 hours every day. I guess I kind of started freaking out two months in advance.

My stats in college are University of West Florida Biology major (same program as UF) with 3.57 GPA , and over 1100 hours worked during summers in high school doing standard dental assistant work (minus x-rays...) at my uncle's dental clinic. I got my International Baccalaurete Diploma when I graduated high school Summa Cum Laude. I do have a nice upward trend in college. I had two bad semesters in a row somewhat early, due to my addiction to online video games (World of Warcraft, sigh...) at the time, and my GPA was ~3.33 then. Then I had a turn around of averaging about 3.8-3.9 GPA for the last 2 years of college.

I have two teachers ready to write me stellar recommendations when the time comes, and when I get my DAT score, hopefully I can get the UWF health commitee recommendation.

I know I am well prepared for the DAT, but I was wondering what DAT score with my stats would make a competitive application😕

Thanks!
 
I am in the same situation. My exam is on May 4th and I am freaking out. I've been studying for 5 months but definitely not 13. I would say 5 to 7 hours a day. next week I will probably go up to 10 hours but have 2 finals 🙁.. How do u feel about chemistry? do you think you r ready?
 
Haha, I don't smoke, but I'm definitely getting smashed after I take it. I could really go for a couple of Irish Wakes from McGuires.

RELAX!!!!!!!!!!!!! You look like you are in great shape for the DAT. Start relaxing now and please tell me that you are having fun? Movies, getting together with friends??? It's important that you relax...it will make studying a lot more easier with a fresh mind and heart.

As far as DAT score, shoot for the stars and if you get to the moon you did great! That's what my Organic Chem prof always says in the lab :laugh:

Good luck!
