[Mr.Smile12]

Welcome to the forums.

You have a lot of tutoring or teaching but not a lot of community service serving others in distress. This is a real vulnerability. You need something independent of your sorority community service or fundraising that show us you are willing to serve others in real need outside of their health needs.

you need to add tons more schools even if you don't retake DAT
but with matriculant average around 3.55gpa and 20.5dat, you probably should think about a retake
