Hi everyone,
I am very confused right now. I just gave the DAT for the 2nd time yesterday (July 12th, 2011) and didn't do steller or terrible; just ok. I need some advice on weather or not I should apply to more schools to increase chances of getting an acceptance.

Here are my stats:

DAT Aug 2010
Perceptual Ability [17]
Quantiative Reasoning [15]
Reading Comprehension [18]
Biology [19]
General Chemistry [18]
Organic chemistry [20]
Total Science [19]
Academic Average [18]

DAT July 2011
Perceptual Ability [20]
Quantiative Reasoning [19]
Reading Comprehension [19]
Biology [18]
General Chemistry [18]
Organic chemistry [19]
Total Science [18]
Academic Average [19]


GPA Science: w/o +- 3.76
Non Science GPA w/o +- 3.58
Total GPA 1w/o +- 3.69


I have solid extracurriculars, scholarships, leadership position (in pre-dental society), and good LOR's.

I have applied to the following schools:
BOSTON
NJDS-UMDNJ
STONY BROOK
UPENN
NYU
TEMPLE
PITTSBURG
HOWARD
UCLA
FLA (UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA)
UNLV
TEXAS, HOUSTON
TUFTS

What other schools should I apply to, to get at least 1 acceptance?

Thanks.
