School list:
Please include a list of schools you are interested in applying to! It is much easier for users to help you when you have taken the time to construct your own school list first!

Post-bacc GPA is a great improvement, however, your DAT score may impact your application. You will need to apply broadly to the schools that you pick for East/West coast. I would aim for 10-12 schools given your scores, some reach(1-3 - UCLA, UCSF, maybe TUFTS), most in range (6-9, Creighton, NYU, Touro, Roseman, etc...) and a few "safety" (1-3, for you that would be WesternU, USC, maybe Cal Northstate -- all very expensive schools ~140-150k per year...).

Make sure to do your research on the schools that you applied to! Had I had to do it again, I would probably thrown away 4 schools I applied to and put in 4 new ones that would have fit my application better. Use the ADEA guide to your advantage if you can, I can share some statistics from it for you.

Atsu, both midwesterns, western, Boston, tufts, nyu , UW , Southern Illinois , colorado

Western would be my top because I live in California

Western is crazy expensive, I would try to get into the cheapest school in Cal if you can.

Thank you! I replied below about some schools I was interested in. Do you happen to have that link to the ADEA guide. I think I’ve seen it but not with any statistics.

Ive also taken the DAT twice. I’m too nervous if I take it a third time and I do worse because it has been awhile.

it would help if you listed your subsection scores...

 

[macsak]

the updated list is better, but i would still recommend more schools since your oGPA and sGPA are still low and your dat is not high either...

 

[shaunaraeiszadeh]

it would help if you listed your subsection scores...

Do they look at both DAT’s?

 

[macsak]

Do they look at both DAT’s?

it depends on the schools
it would help us give you better advice if you told us your subsection scores on both attempts...
