I have a 3.557 gpa and am majoring in health science and minoring in chemistry and biology 3.43 sgpa.
250 shadowing hours
worked 2 part jobs since sophomore year and one part time job since freshman year.
500 hours of commmunity service.
taken microbiology (A), genetics (B) animal physiology (B) and cell biology (A). B in both organic labs.
C in organic two.
I did paid researched around 350 hours in an immunology/microbiology lab.
I did not apply for a committee letter so that is what is holding me back along with my grades. Next year they will not have a committee, so I would still not have the letter, but my I can get a letter of recommendation from a very highly looked upon science professor after taking two courses with her.
I have a physics professor who has already written me a letter as well as a letter from my pre health advisor and a dentist. Would the letters be good enough? I am also taking the DAT in July/August aiming for 22/23
should i take the risk and apply late or wait a year get a letter of recommendation

I wouldn’t waste the money and I definitely wouldn’t apply without taking the DAT first. Aiming for/getting a 22-23 are two different things and it’s better to apply early (like the first month the app opens). If you want to apply this year, I suggest taking the DAT soon and seeing how you actually do on it.
