Wondering if I could get some input on my school list...

oGPA: 3.6
sGPA. 3.7
60 CC credit hrs
Very strong PS

Tons of work experience (service related), good shadowing hours and volunteer hours at a low income dental clinic as well as 3 years coaching a travel baseball team.

DAT: 19 AA, 18TS, 21 PAT, 22 RC (nothing below 17)

Indiana (in-state)
Nova
LECOM
Midwestern
UCONN
Roseman
Case Western
UNLV
AT Still Missouri
PITT

Anything that would be worth adding? Do I have a good shot at any of these schools?

Thank you for any input or advice!
 
I would add 5 or so more schools.
 
I suggest Temple, they like high PAT scores and volunteer work, particularly within your community.
 
Bump for anymore advice...
 
I'd add NYU, UNE, BU. I think Tufts might be one of the schools that is against CC credit. If not, add them too.

Will add those and look into Tufts.

Thanks!
 
Apply to VCU! Your overall GPA is about average, your science GPA is above average (3.7 vs 3.6), but your DAT scores are lower than the average (19AA/18TS vs 20AA/20TS). They are a state school and favor in state applicants, but accept quite a few OOS applicants. I think you have a good shot.
 
Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. In my opinion your list was pretty good and others gave good advice with taking out UConn and adding NYU, UNE, BU. Tufts I know will take issue with the CCs. If you re-take the DAT and get a 20 TS it'll really open some doors. The 18 TS is limiting your competitiveness. If you have the time I recommend re-taking. Let me know if there's anything any of else can do do help!

Awesome thank you! I'm hoping I'll be okay with my DAT. Other parts of my app are strong. We will see. Thanks for your time and input.

I will add VCU. Thanks!
 
If you have 300+ service hours, ASDOH would be a good idea.
