Hello guys, I submitted my application in May and I still not hear anything from any schools.

I am a Texas resident and applied all three Texas schools and ten out of state schools
My DAT score are: AA/TS/PAT/RC/QR: 23/24/20/18/28
My average GPA from all three schools: BCP:3.22 Science: 3.36 Non-Science:3.59 Total: 3.43
GPA per School: UTAustin: 3.24 UTSA: 3.77 Community College: 3.67
Around 80 shadow hours

The OOS schools I applied are:

Boston University, Case Western, Columbia, Midwestern, NYU, Temple, Tufts, University of Louisville, University of Pittsburgh, UoP

Do I still have chances to get an interview? I have none so far.

Please let me know your thoughts and thank you for helping me out!
 
Based on your stats alone, it is not that bad. I am more worried about your DAT reading comprehension because most schools view that as an important factor. In my personal opinion though, I wouldn't retake it but would apply to more schools since your GPA is on the lower end.

Isn't it too late to apply more schools now? If not, what schools do you recommend me to apply to? Thank you!!!

Your reading shouldn't be a big problem. I have the same reading score as you with a little higher gpa. Ive got six interviews so far even though I applied to more schools. You will be fine good luck!
 
I'm surprised you don't have any. Is there anything out of the ordinary on your application you're not telling us? How many credits are from CC?

If I apply more schools now, should it be too late for it?

I took government history and literature in community college. So like 15 credit? Maybe it's because of my English that I am not a native speaker... Other than that, I did not do anything wrong =(
 
I can see why you would be worried since your main source of info is this site, but it is still early. Schools will not be full come December and I have 4 friends currently in D-school and none of them had pre-december interviews and they are all in d-school now. Specifically, CU, BU, and midwestern. You will get some no doubt. Your DAT is beyond great.
 
Just wait it out. You seem like a good applicant. Your DAT scores are above average except for RC (an 18 is okay). Just think of yourself as a second or 3rd round pick. Right now, the cycle is about to finish that first round draft cycle. Expect things to move in December though. Best of luck man.
