Non Science --> GPA w/o +- = 3.06

Total --> GPA inc+- = 3.46
Total --> GPA w/o +- = 3.45

When did you submit your application of AADSAS?

I think you already are, aren't you?

why didn't you apply to more schools? you're score isn't as competitive as some of the state students so I would've applied to more... sorry

Don't worry be happy! 😛

Seriously though, worrying won't get you interviews (unless you're telopathic and can mind control adcoms). Worry when you get interviews as that'll motivate you to prepare.

Find something to take your mind off things as you pass the time. If you're truly worried about your candidacy, I recommend that you apply to more schools and continue to improve your gpa; maybe plan on retaking the DAT. Free time during one application cycle can be effectively spent reinforcing one's chances in the following cycle.

I'm a re-applicant with a 3.88 Psychology major. My first dat stats were:
AA/TS/PAT/RC/QR
19/21/16/16/19
and I retook them a year later:
21/23/18/21/18

I applied to nyu,umdnj,stony,buffalo, maryland, temple, tufts, boston, upenn, pittsburgh. So far I only got an interview from UMDNJ scheduled for 10/26/2012, but im getting a little nervous as to why no word from other schools yet??? What should I do, should i be nervous? Thanks.

You should probably temper your expectations for this cycle, but keep the faith since you may still get post-Dec interviews and acceptances. Your stats aren't great, but aren't terrible either. Your DAT is actually great minus the 17 RC, which is the cutoff for some schools. I don't know when you applied, but if it was recently, you did a disservice to yourself. Also, your school list really isn't big enough for someone who is Canadian with your stats. Howard is tough unless you're URM (a.k.a. Black/Hispanic), Temple hasn't taken Canadians in a while, UoP's stats make it a long shot, and Loma is all about SDA or some other strong religious affiliation. I would have added MWU-AZ and UDM, among others.
