Hello SDNers
I went to three different colleges. I started off from one of top university. But, I failed so bad. I have like 1.5 GPA from there. After that, I went to community college (2.8 GPA), transferred to 4 year state university and graduated there (3.3GPA). I have an overall GPA of 2.95 and sGPA of 2.75.
I applied to dental school for 2010 cycle and got 1 interview from in-state dental school. But, I did not get in. I took DAT twice, first on July 2009, 19/20/21 (AA/TS/PAT) and second on October 2009, 21/20/20 (AA/TS/PAT)
I am going to masters program in UMDNJ this Fall for 1 year and planning to reapply. Also, I took my DAT for the third time on July 19th and got 23/22/23 (AA/TS/PAT). I really want to apply this summer for 2011 cycle if I have pretty good chance. I do not want to waste my money and energy if the chance of getting in is slim.
I have decent hours of volunteer, research, shadowing, and extracurricular activities.
Would you recommend applying for 2011 cycle (applying this summer) or 2012 cycle. (applying next summer)?
Thank You so much for your advices
