Hey everyone,
I just have a few quick questions about how my stats compare...
1. I graduated with a BS in microbiology with a 3.7 GPA (Straight A's for the last 5 semesters)- Does my GPA really do anything for me or does it essentially just keep me "treading water" in terms of applicants?
2. I was recently published for my research on a certain fungus in a scientific journal- Do dental adcoms care about this?
3. I currently work full time in healthcare (roughly 50hrs/wk). How much shadowing should I accumulate prior to my application submission next year? I literally work 8-6 M-F so I am worried that I simply won't be able to get enough hours in (because none of the dentists in my community works on Saturdays or Sundays).
4.With good EC's, my GPA, a good amount of research (with said publications), what is roughly the minimum that I will need to get on the DAT to get interviewed?
Thanks for your help everyone!
