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.

Your numbers are good. Just apply next year very early

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! !

Apply early next year, you'll get in somewhere. It is not worth wasting the money at this point IMO.

Most are Dec/Jan/Fed deadlines but yeah, some have passed already.

If OP can afford it, why should he/she not apply this cycle?
