Non-traditional student help

Hey guys, I just got my GPA verified and it's looking worse than I thought... I am a non-traditional student who didn't do well during my undergraduate years.

Overall: 3.0
Science: 3.2 (lowered because of some undergrad courses)
BCP: 3.5 (including post-bacc)

DAT: 22 AA/22 TS/23 PAT

Before I saw my GPA, I was liking my chances for some interviews, but I don't know what to think now. Do they take in mind that I'm a non-traditional student? I did/will write about this during my secondaries as well. Thanks for your help.

I'm sure you'll get some interviews. Those DAT scores are great. Good Luck!

any other people (specifically non-traditional students) have any knowledge on how they look at our stats? trends?

I know someone who applied last december to schools in the NE with a 2.6 gpa and 22 DAT, he landed several interviews and acceptances. You should be ok. Some schools only see DAT scores while others actually review the entire file. GL

They'll always look to stats first. And yours ain't too shabby. If you were a non-science major, then BCP is indicative of something good. Non-trad is nice. I always thought I'd be at a disadvantage. Not so. There's a lot to bring to the table, especially on interview day. So bring it!
