not enough schools...

not enough schools...

I didn't apply to a ton since I have a low DAT score and didn't wanna spend more money adding schools since it was already a lot with the 5 I chose. I'm also planning to retake my DAT if I don't hear back. I just wanted to see my chances with the scores I have now for schools close to home (besides AZ)

your best shot at an interview is with detroit mercy, since you have spent time there and they interview tons of students...

I agree, your best shot would be at UDM with the application you have rn, but you also have a probable shot at MWU AZ/IL and ASDOH considering they're all privates and are a little less picky about stats. I think if you hear nothing by the end of December, you should start studying to retake the DAT before the next cycle opens and have your scores ready to go. You want to apply as early as possible because you will be a reapplicant and you already have this first DAT attempt on your record (as compared to first-time applicants who scored well on the DAT). Good luck!
