hey guys and gals. I am new to the forum and have just decided to go into dentistry. I was wodnering if I would have any chance of admission into NYU witha 3.3 g.p.a, a 3.85 science g.p.a, and a year of working for a dentist. I have not taken the DAT's yet becasue I just recently finished my sciences and am taking a year off to study for them . Originally, I was planning on becoming a alwyer (got a 176 on my lsat) but I feel that dentistry is the career for me now. Aside for the money, job security, unbelievable flexible working hours, and helping people look and feel good with their oral healthcare, and the other perks, I have had this burning desire to become a dentist becasue I feel it will allow me to get professional and personal satisfaction that no other field could allow me. This is where I need some advice. I have only taken two parts of the DAT: the reading comp and and the math part and got a 30, and 24, respectively. I hope I can score a 20+ on the sciences too wih much hard work and studying. However, I have the hadrest time with the PAT. Although I get some questions right, the majroity of the time I do not know whats flying especially witht eh Cube counting and the punching holes problems. I would appreciate it if anybody could giv eme any advice as to what would ym chances would be provided I score 20/20 on the DAT/PAT and some specific suggestions as toh ow to tackle the PAT. Thanks I appreciate any advice.
