I took 18 and 15 credits last two semesters, so now I am questioning if this is this too light of a load for spring 2012?
Spring 2012
Human Anatomy
O-chem 1 and Lab
Criminal Justice class
World Literature
TOTAL 13 credits

2. ANSWERED
For Fall 2012 and Spring 2013 I will only take 12 credits each semester to take the DAT in Fall and Apply to D-schools Spring 2013. Is that too light?

My senior year in high school(2003) I took college courses and got 4 Bs(3 credits) and 1 C(4 credit bio class) leaving me with a 2.75 gpa(16 credites total).

7 years later I came back spring 2011 and have taken 41 credits and have a gpa of 3.94. But with my old credits combined I am at overall3.63 science3.61.

If I continue getting As and say a few -As, will I have a shot at schools like Penn, Harvard, UCSF, Columbia, just gpa-wise (I understand it is hard to give a complete picture without the DAT). I go on predents.com and look at the gpa's at the above schools and the kids accepted are like straight 4.0 students.

Just to add info I have taken my english and calculus pre-reqs at a CC and all sciences at my 4 yr. Does that knock me out of the running at these schools.

If I have been getting A's and 2 -A's without cheating or using old tests what kind of DAT score should I pull to match those grades?

I had to delete my computer recently and I had a million bookmarks of sdn pages. I loved to go to had atleast 20 links in paragraph form to excel pages, nhsc, hpsp, schools that accept cc, schools that are OOS firendly, etc. If anyone know the address to that page I would appreciate it.

6. ANSWERED--found answer on other post http://dent.osu.edu/admissions/COST of ATTENDANCE - 2011.pdf
I know that predents.com now has the ranking tab of gpa, tuition. But is there a accurate site with the tuition of all schools because I have been going school to school looking at the tuition and fees schedules.

7.
Is there a lists of schools that offer scholarships and how much they would be, and there qualifications.

8.
This question may be better in the military section but I hope it can be easily answered here.
If I took the hpsp 3yr. Do I have to serve 3 yrs only or is it 3 yr plus some other type of training.

I know its a lot of questions but these ?s have been on my mind for sometime and I can never find answers to these questions.
