Are you a minority? How did you get in with those stats and apply late. I dont mean to start world war 3, but there is no way anyone with those stats that isnt minority can get in. Or you must have personally knew the dean of Admissions. If you got in with those stats, straight up, then im apply for sure.

Hass

Dude he got a 21 on his DAT's i think anyone can getinto school with that and a decent gpa

Numbers aren't everything, my friend. His DAT is good, and for all we know, he could have published 10 papers on oral microflora while holding down 3 jobs... 😛

How is late July or early August considered late? I am going to apply late August/early September; I guess that makes me really late

I didnt apply that late. Not super early, but AADSAS #2096 isnt that bad when you consider how many applied. I am persian, but on the application I put caucasian. I dont personally know the dean of admissions either. I guess I got lucky.

You didn't get lucky, you earned it Rezdawg. Congrats on your acceptance. I may end up there next year.

Well congradulations to you. And more power to you. I guess you didnt apply late, but the ppl on the site make it seem as if you have to submit May 1. Your country isnt to far from mine. I am lebenese. I understand some farse.

Hass

Well, still try to submit as early as possible. If I had to do it again, I would have applied earlier, but it just didnt work out that way. Good luck with the apps.

[Rezdawg]

See that, i made you famous. But seriously, can you tell me more about yourself so I may see were I stand. Im about to give up on fall06 becuase my grades are around a 3.1. How old are you? Is this your first time applying? DId you have a bachleors? Did you do anything extra that you may suggest? Do you think I should keep going even w/out a bachleors being completed by fall next year? Please help me out, Im getting despret here.

Here is my story...

Im 25. I got my bachelors degree in economics from Washington University in St. Louis.

My gpa is around 3.08 with sci gpa of 2.92. There is somewhat of an upward trend. My freshman year gpa was brutal, something like a 2.5. Sophomore year by itself was something like a 3.0. Junior year I had a 3.3. Senior year I had around a 3.3 as well. All in all, it came out to just under a 3.1. So, that trend may have contributed positively to my application.

This is my second time to apply to dental school. Last year I had a DAT score of 19 AA, 17 TS, and 18 PAT. At the time, I got 2 interviews, one from UT-Houston and another at NYU. Got rejected from UT-Houston and waitlisted at NYU. It was obvious that my DAT score wasnt good enough to make up for my grades.

I decided to retake the DAT. Second time around I got 21 AA, 20 TS, and 18 PAT. About 2 weeks after I submitted my scores to BU, they sent me a letter for an interview. At the interview, my DAT score increase was mentioned. I guess it was apparent that I was a reapplicant and that I had retaken the DAT and improved in that area, and they liked that. 2 weeks after the interview, I was accepted.

As far as the "extras", I was somewhat active during my undergrad years. I have both work and volunteer experiences. I also have a couple hundred hours of working/shadowing an endodontist and a general dentist. I would say my recommendations were either decent or good. I wouldnt say exceptional. As far as race is concerned, I mentioned earlier that I am persian, but on the application, I checked "caucasian", so I dont have an edge in regards to that.

All I can say is that you should try to get 20+ on the DATs, apply as early as you can, and cross some fingers. Thats what I did and somehow things worked out for me. It very well could have gone in the opposite direction. I know people with worse numbers that have gotten in and others with better numbers that havent. I would take the DAT if I were you, then play it from there. If youve got other questions, feel free to ask. Good luck.

And to finish off my short biography, I enjoy long walks on the beach and candle light dinners (if any females are interested).

That just kills me, I am such a dumb ass, I should have applied earlier!

I have a higher overall gpa and science gpa and my DAT score is the same as yours and I just applied in September to BU, interviewed in February. goes to show U that timing is everything in this damn game.
