this is my first time posting, but have been a lurker for a long time. i hope everyones applications are going well...

I wanted some advice from u guys on whether I should apply to Columbia and Pittsburgh...
My stats:
oGPA 3.4, sGPA 3.15; DAT: 21/20/21 (TS/AA/PAT); enrolled in a 1 year masters which i just started... Oh btw, I am a Canadian resident as well...
Currently, i have 14 schools on my list, but dont know if I even stand close to a chance at Columbia (which looks at about 22AA, while I have a 20AA) or Pitt (which likes a high GPA)... Please help and thanx in advance 😀

Hi, I think you should apply if money is not an issue. What do you have to lose by applying? small $$$
what do you have by NOT applying? small chance of not getting interview
small $$$ vs small chance of interview, what do you think?

Personally, I would apply.

Your oGPA is a little low, but not that bad.

You science GPA is also a bit on the low end, but you made a nice "recovery" with your DAT.

If you are a second time applicant, you will also be given some extra consideration (so I hear).

Im a canadian applicant and i applyed to Pitt, but not Columbia. Mostly because i dont think columbia likes canadian DAT.

This is from their website (under the FAQ section)

Do you accept the Canadian DAT?
Yes, but we prefer the U.S. DAT

Make an effort to take the U.S DAT then.
