3Morning!
I recovered from covid-19 recently and finally took the DAT yesterday. I'd like to hear advice on my chances in this cycle.
I'm a
Texas resident
Univ of Texas, Bio major
3.95 Science GPA (Texas school)
3.97 Total GPA (Texas Scool)
100 hrs Shadowing
200 hrs Voluntering
2 Lor from professors and 1 from a dentist
Dat score : PAT 23, QR 17, RC 19, BIO 19, GC 19, OC 21. (Total Science 20, Academic Average 19)
Non-traditional applicant
(Have a foriegn BS degree, age over 30)
I was too nervous the night before the exam and ended up staying up all night. I was half asleep when taking the DAT. I plan on retaking DAT late February next year, but it may be too late for this cycle.
My questions are
1. I have already applied to 4 Texas dental schools in October. Now I bombed the DAT, would I still have a chance to make it to any of the 4 Texas dental schools with my stats?
2. What other private dental schools I would likely make it this cycle with my stats? Currently thinking Tufts, Boston univ, LECOM, NOVA.
3. Retake the DAT and apply next cycle is my best shot for now?
Thank you guys in advance!
Agree with above, the high GPA but average DAT usually is a sign of grade-inflation at your school (it was really easy for people to get As and thus a high GPA, but that didn't carry over in your scores for a standardized test like the DAT). To answer your questions though -1. I have already applied to 4 Texas dental schools in October. Now I bombed the DAT, would I still have a chance to make it to any of the 4 Texas dental schools with my stats?
