What are my chance of making it into ANY school? I applied to 18, rejected from 2 (LLU and Louisville) already cuz of gpa. I tried to search up ppl around my same score, no luck. So just curious, what have you guys heard?
Ex: I think you have a 10% chance to make it in cuz i heard/read/just think so.

If anything, your DAT scores are good. Though, I'm not sure good ENOUGH to outweigh that GPA. Apply though! Don't give up! 🙂

Great DAT scores! Your PAT is ok, but that score is fine for most schools. You should be really proud of your QR score of 21. Please check out all the "low QR" and "bombed the QR" threads. People are stating that the QR section was nothing like the practice tests. I would like to know what you thought of it.

I also have strong DAT scores (21/21/21), but my gpa sucks (3.1 cum, 3.0 sci) and I don't have any interviews yet. I applied in early June. I am a re-applicant, and the schools told me last year that although my DAT and extra-curricular stuff was solid, my gpa is "borderline".

Here's my two cents: One thing is for sure is that you are in deep trouble without ANY professor letters of rec. All the websites of dental schools clearly state that you need rec letters from at least two science professors, and then the rest are optional. I don't think schools consider this negotiable.

Is there anyway you can ask two of your currernt science profs to write you a letter?

Say you somehow achieved a AA26 with a 2.78 GPA, would that be amazing enough to get you interviews? 😳

Not without that LOR- that should be your BIG worry.

WITH that LOR would it be possible to get in with that low of a gpa and a AA26?

Yea thats what I'm afraid of. I'm already starting on my GREs to apply to masters cuz it seems very very unlikely now as I see so many ppl already gettin interviews.
