My friend (he's a white male) has applied to a lot of dental schools for this fall's semester.
He has a very high overall GPA, 3.92, and a very high science GPA of 3.87.
And as for his DAT score, he got an 18 for Quant Analysis, 19 for OChem, 19 for Biology, 18 for Gen Chem, 17 for reading comp and a 20 for PAT. His overall AA score was in the 18-19 range. I would expect that to be a great score, although it's not a 22+ score.
However, a lot of dental schools have rejected him, and he's very depressed right now. He's pissed because some of the applicants who got accepted to dental schools he's applied to had lower GPA and DAT test scores than him.
I'm asking this question because I fall into a minority group that tends to score high on the DAT and have high GPA, don't want to be rejected by a lot of dental schools and waste my time and money. My pre-health advisor said that I have an "advantage", but a lot of my other friends (they're Asian males) who applied for this fall also didn't get accepted to any dental school.
On the other hand, I've notice that females and other minority groups have an easier chance of getting into dental school?
