I am applying this upcoming cycle. I have scheduled a DAT date in early June so my application isn't delayed very long. My school GPA is much higher (3.7), but I failed a chemistry class my freshman year, so I calculated the GPA like the ADEA does and that is what I put below. I realize my volunteering and shadowing hours need to increase and I am going to work on that this summer. I plan to only apply to in state schools because of cost. I am open to any criticism/ideas.
