Hi,
I would be grateful for any advice on my pre-dental situation.
I am reapplying this coming 2010 cycle to CO- (my home state) , NE and AZ, none of which I was granted interview last time (although all three held on to my application for a long time, without giving me my rejection letter- which I am told is a good thing, as I was in the short list?)
I took the DAT and got the following:
PAT 17
RC 22
QR 15 ouch
GC 20
OC19
BIO 15 ouch
AA 18
Obviously Bio and QR killed me. I was averaging 21s on BIO in all my practice exams, so dont know what happened on game day. Also, I suck at QR, so no excuse there.
Should I retake the DAT? Or would my time be better spent working on my GPA by taking some auxiliary courses. My GPA is a 3.2 (major GPA is economics 3.6, science GPA 2.9). Obviously this is a bit low, but I was not a science major.
I have heaps of dental experience, assisting, volunteering, dental aid work abroad ect. And also have excellent written references from professors.
What can I do additionally to get in!!?? Any feedback is appreciated
