With your name and graduate education, I take it you were studying plant genetics before your career change?

No
 
Looks like Columbia looks primarily at dat scores... All they care is for their stats

Really disappointed by that... I'm a bit turned off.

Or Columbia just has competitive enough applicants that they can select for both high DAT scores and the other factors that make an applicant well-rounded. Don't be salty just because you didn't get an interview offer.

Also if Columbia consistently selects for high DAT they have a good reason, not "just want high stats". High DAT score probably correlates with strong performance in their dental program.
