Congrats! I always see you helping others, and your DAT is amazing. Good luck with the interview!

Quick question, when you studied for the DAT, what resources did you use that helped you the most? Im down to my last month, and i don't know if I should just start doing the DAT and Math destroyer or doing a mix of practice tests/BC/ feralis/Cliffs. (FYI im have way through Feralis notes and Cliff). Thanks for the advice

Thanks!!
In my breakdown/materials breakdown I talk extensively about the materials I used. Did you take a look at that? I tried to grade the materials based on difficulty and similarity to the test.
In your last month I would start taking a full exam every few days if you have the time while working on your weaker points and continuing to do PAT generators. If you haven't done BOotcamp yet do like 2 a week (i understand there are 10 tests now). Continue to cover feralis espiecally weaker points. IMO if you've covered everything, this lsat month you should focus on weak points and take practice tests. If you manage to do 6-10 full tests before the actually test, the real DAT will feel soooo much like a practice that you took

I will take a look, and see your breakdown. That's what I wanted to do, was to take as many practice tests and improving on what Im weak in (using Feralis, etc...). Thank you for the prompt response and your advice. I appreciate it!

Impressive that they called him in for an interview a month before they've started to process applications!

Roadto28 is back lol?
Ive never seen anyone get such an early email from Harvard. Also no grades no matter how high would impress Harvard....I've seen people with your stats that have gotten rejected from Harvard so....Even if this invite is real it's not like they'll bow before you and give an acceptance on a golden plate

You posted a thread a month ago that you're a re applicant and you applied to over 25 schools last year?

I don't see how dishonesty on the application board helps anyone, dental schools will not like that sense of humor whatsoever.

Hi friend. I have a question:
1. How do I know that my application has been sent out to school? I have some foreign transcripts which I haven't sent to ADA yet. All the others from USA shows verified in my application.

Usually a school will send you a confirmation email

I really think you're Reading Score is going to hold you back a lot despite your other scores. I would strongly recommend retaking it. Either that or try applying to schools broadly. A lot of schools have a RC cut off of 18. Some are 17 though. So who knows.

She has already been accepted to dental school.

Thank you!! And apparently so. I got the email around 1am. The first email for an interview waitlist was almost exactly the same day/time--Saturday 1am last week.
