I think you have a very solid chance. Your GPA is good, your dat is slightly above average, but it seems you have quite a bit of experience as well. Your experience may not be very broad, but you do have a lot of hours. Apply to your state school if you have one and I'm sure you'll get in somewhere.

I hope you are right. Are you currently in dental school?

 

[aphistis]

Moving to pre-dental.

What are these 1100 hours of dental experience doing?

Btw, love the title. I think every question in the "predental" forum is a question from a predental student. Lol!

The crystal ball is temporarily out of order. Can you wait a little longer?

http://forums.studentdoctor.net/showthread.php?t=635009 <-- you already made this a thread and got quite a few responses? i don't know if you'd made this present thread in the regular dental forum and it got moved to predental, but you're not going to get a much different answer from people in dental school either. it's all up to the adcom gods.

Any idea why they didn't even give you interviews during the last cycle? Did you call any of the schools to find out?
If yes, have you improved the areas schools wanted you to work on?
I mean, one thing most dental schools hate to see is that a previous applicant submits the same exact application from the last cycle again, without putting in any extra effort to make his/her application stronger.
Perhaps, you had lower DAT scores last year?
Anyways, judging by your GPA and DAT scores, you will most likely get some interviews this year.
How many credits did you complete at CC? As you may know, dental schools aren't too crazy about coursework completed at CC, and if you have the majority of your undergrad courses completed at CC, then there's no surprise why you didn't get any interviews last year. If that's the case, try to take some additional classes at UCLA in order to boost the numbers of units completed at that school.

Sorry, we all need a little joke when we're studying like crazy! 🙂
