Misc Info/Things not stated elsewhere/Red Flags:


Thank you for taking the time to look over this. Your honesty is much appreciated! I am mainly concerned about my organic chemistry score, I am surprised and disappointed in it. I also ran out of time in the QR section and had to guess on the last four questions on the exam... really kicking myself. Also, should I add or take away any of the schools below? I made this list before taking the DAT today and I am open to making any changes.

School list:

ECU
Adams School of Dentistry (UNC) (REACH School)
Tufts University
VCU
UCLA
University of Colorado
NYU
Columbia (REACH School)
University of Louisville
Indiana University
