At this point the best thing that can happen to you is a drastic improvement on your DAT scores. Just hope for the best at this point, but quite frankly I wouldn't be surprised if you ended up with only a handful of interviews, if not none at all.
 
this is just my opinion and only an opinion at best, that has no proof.

It could depend on a lot of things because people have been accepted with those scores like how was your personal statement, when did you submit your application, how were your EC, how was your GPA trend and what were your lowest sections in the DAT since you might have potentially missed the cutoff from some schools. Also what your BCP gpa is. Or for some schools that had supplemental essays, how well were they written.

NOW THIS IS NOT MEANT TO BE A SHOT AT ANYONE, but i think the poster NguyenDDS has similar a similar gpa as yours but better DAT Scores and seems to have great EC's plus has been told the PS submitted was quite excellent. Also I would take everything you hear on SDN with a grain of salt since there are a lot of people who apply and get in that are not on this forum, so I wouldn't let everyones great stats discourage you. Most people with the "below average" stats probably would not post on here since they might not want people to moan and groan about how someone with lower stats was accepted over them if they did.

Who knows you might get late interviews, as long as you get a interview you have a shot, just think of what you can do to improve potentially and no reason to freak out about it, stressing will not change the outcome and if anything it could affect you pretty negatively.
 
I think you will get post-December interviews, wait-listed, and accepted in the spring.

However, my crystal ball has been known to be wrong now and again.

LOL!! i think so too.
 
These stats are average to below average. Wait patiently. With 15 schools, a few of them have to take the bite. I wouldn't write you off by any means.
 
I was just asking b/c I see ppl getting interviews from most of the schools I applied to also. If they r getting invites and I'm not then obviously i'm not good enough right or do they keep me in some kind if line ?

I have similar stats as you, applied and took DAT around the same time, and also no interviews. But I'm international so...

Have you told the schools that you are retaking DAT in Sept.? If you have, then your application is possibly placed on hold until they get your new scores.

i haven't b/c i didn't register yet. my school just started so i want to c the schedule before registering. Instead of being put on hold, can i just tell them next month "hey, I just finished my DAT retake" or should i tell them NOW ?

i think telling them now is better b/c it puts me on hold instead of them rejecting me
 
Most schools ask you to let them know. So let them know!

This person is right, some may start sending rejection letters because of your DAT scores. Let them know or don't pay for secondaries yet until you retake DAT again.
