Hey SDN, I just took my DAT on 10/31 with the following scores:

PAT 23
QR 18
RC 19
Bio 20
GC 21
OC 21
TS 21
AA 20

I have a 3.4 oGPA and a 3.2 sGPA. I know it's super late but should I even consider submitting my application this cycle? I graduated in '09 in Biomedical Science. I have a million shadowing hours, and I've been a certified dental assistant for the last 4 years. What are your guys' suggestions?
 
You might have a small chance... but by the time your letters and transcripts get sent in to AADSAS and subsequently mailed out to the schools, it may already be December.

I would wait until next year and apply early in June.

Haven't the deadlines already passed?
Good stats. Apply early next year and you will have a good chance at scoring some interviews.
Good luck! !
