Hello everyone,

I've been a member on this site for quite some time and have found some great information and great dental application tips. I've created a 'chance me' thread before, but I have some updates so I figured I'd make this one as a replacement. I have a general idea of my chances but would like to know what other people think. Keep in mind I'm a third time Canadian re-applicant, and everything in my application has improved over the last couple cycles except my DAT scores (retaking soon) and research hours.

Bachelor of Science (Honors) - Biochemistry, Class of 2011

**My last 3.5 years of school (81 credits) I have a 3.96 GPA (basically my Medical Sciences GPA).

Also, I have a solid personal statement and great LOR's. Applied 2nd batch.

Thank you!

I'm pretty sure you would be competitive anywhere you applied honestly.

Nice stats!!

Thanks! Just my DAT is upsetting me 🙁

You look pretty good this time around! Your DAT isn't even bad, I guess since you're Canadian you need higher stats. Just focus on your upcoming DAT and try to increase a few points to a 21AA. Also consider preparing for interviews with some mock interviews. I think they are just as important to securing a seat. Good luck 🙂
